Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme. Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

The numbers are clear—gutting foreign aid will cost countless lives and leave all of us more vulnerable. 18 million malaria cases per year. Thousands of kids paralyzed by polio. 1 million untreated for malnutrition. 28,000 new Ebola cases annually.

A Trump recession is looking more and more likely. He may be having fun creating chaos, but the American people are paying — literally. We can’t afford Trump. www.marketwatch.com/livecoverage...

We have spent trillions to posture against Russia over the years. Now we have a chance to send them into the ash heap of history by supporting Ukraine. It’s a good deal, unless you want Russia to win, in which case god help you

Chris Murphy: "It appears as if America is trying to align itself with dictators, that Donald Trump wants us to have our closest relationships with despots all around the world, because that makes it easier for him to transition American into a kleptocratic oligarchy."

Tell the 80 million Americans who worked hard to earn Social Security and depend on their benefits that it’s a Ponzi scheme. Democrats will fight tooth and nail to protect Social Security.

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down. And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

People will complain about Democratic messaging, not pay attention to Democratic messaging, claim that the best thing we can do is primary the best Democratic messengers, and practice the most useless counterproductive really bad messaging themselves. All at the same time. 🤡

Using the bully pulpit doesn’t actually mean being a bully. This is a totally unreasonable way to conduct diplomacy, and a disgraceful way to treat an ally. We should all be standing with Ukraine as they continue their fight on the front line of democracy.

As co-Presidents Trump & Musk seek to shut down critical agencies, like the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, it's the American people who are being ripped off. That's why I joined an amicus brief with over 200 of my House Democratic colleagues in defending hard-working families and consumers.

The meeting in the Oval Office today is the clearest evidence that this President is more interested in helping Putin than standing up for our allies. Our adversaries are watching.

Social Security is under attack. You worked hard. You paid in with every paycheck. You earned your Social Security. Now, Trump and the far-right want to gut federal services, delaying your benefits—all to bankroll massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors. We won’t let them get away with it.

Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME. Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

This reckless decision will cost lives. NWS is a lifeline for families from hurricanes & severe storms. It provides crucial local forecasts we use every day. Slashing its workforce cripples its ability to protect communities. My neighbors deserve better—this is an outright attack on public safety.

Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine.
