🧵: If you're wondering just how intrusive the Trump admin's demands of Harvard were, consider this one: "Every department or field found to lack viewpoint diversity must be reformed by hiring a critical mass of new faculty within that department or field who will provide viewpoint diversity."

@murray.senate.gov is bringing a powerful voice against #Medicaid cuts at the #HealthcareTownhall. Thank you, Senator. This is a people issue, not a partisan one.

Do not let Republicans tell you they're not going to touch Social Security. I introduced an amendment to explicitly prevent any cuts to Social Security. But every Republican on the Budget Committee voted against it. And it was defeated in the Rules Committee by the Republicans.

Trump turning tariffs on and off like a two-year-old with a light switch has already hit our economy hard. We can't live like this, and businesses can't make serious investment decisions in this kind of environment. Congress MUST reassert itself over the power to tariff.

Former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer testified before Congress on Monday, accusing her former agency of “corruption and abuse of power.” She claimed that armed U.S. Marshals were sent to her home to deliver what she described as a “warning” from the DOJ, cautioning her about the risks of testifying.

What’s DOGE cutting from the Social Security Administration? My @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues and I wrote a letter to the Acting Commissioner demanding answers. His response? Leases. That leaves high-rent areas like LA vulnerable to office closures—it’s time to fight back.

Last night, Senate Dems were on the floor fighting for working families one amendment at a time while Republicans struck down each one. Their message was clear: Let’s give billionaires a tax break and have everyday Americans pay for it by slashing Medicaid, Social Security, vets’ benefits, & more.

Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment. To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing. Republicans rejected it.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
