Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

This morning, my colleagues and I on Ways and Means spoke on the alarming signs of market manipulation. Retirements tanked. Small businesses got hit. Billionaires cashed in. This isn’t policy, it’s exploitation. And I’m calling it out.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Men suck. Can’t believe HRC and KH were denied their chance by so many. The best solution is probably to destroy equal rights and actually implement the matriarchy. My god we’re untrustworthy idiots.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

"America is headed down a dark path.” Trump/GOP's new policy directs the Attorney General to find crimes to prosecute any who dare defy them. This is NOT just Trump. It's the entire GOP political establishment on board with punishing free speech they oppose. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show. But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs isn't justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest. It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.” He wasn’t kidding. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
