During his hearing this week, Secretary Bessent acknowledged that it's unacceptable that mega corporations avoided billions in taxes last year. And yet, he and others in the Trump Administration are getting rid of policies that make sure they pay their fair share. So is it unacceptable or not?

Throughout the night and into the morning, Republicans pushed through $70 billion to ICE and CBP. They refused to make any real reforms to these lawless agencies on a rampage. I voted no.
Scott Pelley is one of the most respected journalists in America. He was fired because he's focused the truth. The leaders of CBS are focused on keeping President Trump happy. Suppressing reporters because the president finds it inconvenient is a sign of a democracy in crisis.
BREAKING: CBS News has terminated 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley's contract following his vocal disagreements with the new leadership under Bari Weiss.
President Trump has cut millions of dollars and thousands of jobs dedicated to help prepare America for another global pandemic. Has he learned nothing from Covid-19? We can’t just sit around and hope another pandemic doesn’t hit.
For over two decades, PEPFAR has been our best defense in the fight against HIV. That’s why a group of eight former Republican and Democrat CDC Directors are urging President Trump not to dismantle it. Otherwise, American lives will be at risk. https://bit.ly/4e0jtLU
We can’t claim to deliver equal justice under the law while the death penalty is applied so unevenly and unjustly based on race, income, and access to adequate counsel. That's why I’m joining @durbin.senate.gov's bill to abolish the federal death penalty once and for all.
June is when we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and our commitment to ensuring that everyone has the right to love who they love and be who they are. Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈
President Trump tried to give your tax dollars to insurrectionists who attempted to overturn a presidential election. This is some good news in a sea of corruption from this Administration. Now let’s ban it in law.
The Trump administration plans to drop its controversial $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund the president sought to compensate alleged victims of prosecutorial conduct under his predecessor, 2 senior administration officials told Axios.
Holding detainees in conditions so terrible that many die from preventable disease or suicide violates basic human rights. I will continue to oppose ICE funding until real change is made.
Suicide deaths by Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees have hit a record pace, exposing failures in treatment and oversight across ICE's network of detention centers. An AP investigation examines who’s dying and what’s behind the increase.
@kim.senate.gov is the latest Member of Congress to be attacked by ICE while conducting oversight. We need ICE and CBP reforms now—it can’t wait.
I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4
On Memorial Day, we honor service members who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our nation. Today and every day is a reminder that this is the land of the free, because of the brave.
The Ebola outbreak in central Africa is spreading rapidly, already killing over 130 people. Experts say President Trump’s decision to slash USAID staff and programs exacerbated the crisis. It’s time for him to focus on real issues, rather than a lavish ballroom.
The antisemitic attack on a Jewish-owned business in Cavendish is disturbing and unacceptable. I’m grateful the Vermont State Police have started an investigation. Antisemitism has no place in Vermont, and we all must reject it. https://bit.ly/49fkWfX
I’m really pleased that the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport will receive $260,000 to build a children’s play area and install a new lactation pod, making it easier for families to fly. The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we worked hard to pass in 2021.
Farmers work hard day and night on the thinnest of margins to feed their communities. Congress should do our part to help them out. Let's help them recover from natural disasters, lower their energy costs, and give them access to the credit and farmland they need to succeed.
