Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

Today we filed amicus briefs challenging the Trump administration's politically motivated efforts to defund NPR and PBS. Freedom of the press is essential to our democracy. We urge the court to block these unconstitutional attacks on the First Amendment.

Why isn’t this plastered across every front page? Armed extremists nearly killed a U.S. soldier, stole military gear, and stockpiled weapons and explosives—yet barely a whisper. If they were immigrants or people of color, it’d be breaking news. The silence is deafening… apnews.com/article/nazi...

Dairy milk farm down the road from me just shut down after over 40 years of operation. Do you like milk? There are no workers to collect it now. Meat packing plants are struggling here. Workers are not showing up. Iowa feeds MANY people. Do you get it yet?

BREAKING: We just sued the Department of Homeland Security over their use of excessive force against protesters, reporters and legal observers. Exercising our rights to free speech should never be met with retaliatory attacks by federal agents. We’ll see you in court, DHS.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

This is what my own experiences in the Border Patrol have taught me: it is all law enforcement bc you cannot separate those who are corrupt & violent from those who are the “good guys” when the entire system is built on corruption. It’s not a few bad apples. The entire barrel is rotten.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

. If they sell our public lands every single member that votes for it needs to go to jail. There is no need for any such thing. The whole damn bill is nothing but a bank robbery by the majority. Lands which can't be replaced or probably ever clawed back - that amounts to treason. .

Instead of listening to their constituents who are resoundingly opposed to slashing Medicaid, members of the Senate are moving forward with deep cuts that will leave millions without access to health coverage. We have to stop this bill in its tracks.

Imagine serving your country, then being turned away at your local VA hospital because you're unmarried or because of who you voted for. That's the reality 9 million veterans are facing today. America's heroes deserve better than political litmus tests for healthcare.
