Republicans held a hearing on Medicaid fraud today, so I asked a top health expert: what bill delivered the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history? Yep. Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Seems to me like the biggest Medicaid theft actually happened last year in Congress.

New reporting indicates the U.S. has used “virtually all” of our precision long-range missiles during the Iran War. We’re running low on critical munitions and spending millions every day this war of choice drags on.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov & the entire Senate Democratic Caucus in calling on the Trump Administration to remove their Medicaid red tape requirements, which will lead to Americans losing access to health care they need.

Wisconsinites are getting crushed by high costs at every turn, and instead of dealing with it, Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will kick thousands of folks off Medicaid – forcing more families to be uninsured and into emergency rooms for basic care. www.jsonline.com/story/news/2...

What’s clear is the discrepancy between what Trump officials say in places like Fox News where they are not accountable for lying, versus what they say when they get near a courtroom where they are accountable for lying. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

236 years ago today, the United States Coast Guard was established. For over two centuries, the men and women of our Coast Guard have served bravely to defend and protect our nation’s shores. Happy 236th Birthday to our Coast Guard!

Republicans will likely do what they always do and confirm Blanche as Attorney General despite all of this, and once again, women across America will pay the price.

Social media is poisoning our kids’ developing minds. When unsupervised online, they can be exposed to explicit material, recruited by drug or sex traffickers, or cyber bullied. Meanwhile, Big Tech is profiting off of that very screen time. It’s time we set a federal policy to protect our children.

TODD BLANCHE: Rest assured that we’re working hand in hand with HHS and the FDA and the White House and President Trump’s team to get permanent solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state.

The momentum is in Ukraine's favor right now, with long gas lines in Russia, dissatisfaction from his oligarch friends and Ukraine gaining on the battlefield. We need to put more pressure on Putin through this sanctions bill to get him to the table.

Hedge funds buying up houses is one reason homeownership has gotten further out of reach for too many young people. So, we’re cracking down on that with our bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to lower costs and make it easier to live the American Dream.

Law-abiding TPS recipients have built their entire lives here, contributing so much to our economy and communities. The Trump Admin’s cruel decision to terminate their protections will only put families in harm’s way and devastate our economy.

Trump and Republicans told women abortion should be “left to the states.” Now they’re advancing Todd Blanche’s nomination, who wants it banned in every single one. Don’t listen to what they say—watch what they do.

Last year, Republicans cut Medicaid by $1 TRILLION. Now as working people face the reality of this betrayal, Republicans claim it was about fighting fraud. Give me a break. Republicans cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the billionaire class. Don't let them rewrite history.

Blanche presided over one of the most corrupt actions of the most corrupt administration in history—its $1.8 billion weaponization slush fund to pay off J6 cop beaters and reward his political supporters. He’s not fit to be the nation’s top law enforcement official. That’s why I voted against him.

It was never about 'returning it to the states'. Their plan is to outlaw abortion care nationwide and put countless women across the country in harm's way. Todd Blanche is a piece of that puzzle, and he can NOT be confirmed.

We’ll vote NO on Todd Blanche to lead the DOJ. Americans deserve an independent AG who respects the rule of law, not someone who refuses to stand up to Donald Trump.

While American families are getting flattened by skyrocketing costs, Donald Trump is spending $1.4 billion to keep troops on the streets in Washington for years on end. The National Guard are not pawns, and taxpayer dollars are not a piggy bank for Trump’s political stunts.

Trump’s Reflecting Pool debacle is so unbelievably stupid it would be funny—except American taxpayers are paying for it. Americans want lower costs, an end to the Iran war, an end to the constant corruption. Not millions in tax dollars for more of his vanity projects.

Today is the 6th anniversary of our successful fight to pass the Great American Outdoors Act. This law fully funded the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which has invested over $730 million in conserving open space and public lands in Washington since its creation.

It was Todd Blanche's idea to create a $2 billion taxpayer slush fund for insurrectionists who assaulted police officers. If Senate Republicans confirm him, he won't be America's top lawyer—he'll be Trump's.

Trump is planning to gut Head Start—a devastating blow to our most vulnerable families. That means no math or literacy requirements, no health & safety screenings, no guarantee children can access medical services. He doesn't give a damn. He thinks the government exists to serve only him.

According to the Senate GOP: Todd Blanche became a different person somewhere between the confirmation hearing and today’s vote. He remains Trump’s personal lawyer. Same client. Same corruption. Same playbook. Nothing has changed. He has no business becoming Attorney General.

This administration is dead set on destroying every program that makes life better for working families. Despicable. "The White House tried but failed to block funding for preschool for poor children. Instead, it will seek to strip away standards on health, literacy"

Todd Blanche told me privately that he “made a mistake” creating the MAGA slush fund. I asked him about it under oath. And he lied to Congress. His willingness to casually lie under oath shows how far he will go to avoid offending his only boss: Donald Trump.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote “so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state.” Those were his own words to anti-abortion extremists. Senators who vote for Blanche are voting for an Attorney General who will attack abortion rights in EVERY state.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
