Again, billions from your pockets to Big Oil — coincidence?
- SW
While you’re at it, look at your electric bill, hiked by Republicans blocking low-cost clean energy. Your bill goes up (the total is in the billions) and the extra you pay goes to fossil fuel units that wouldn’t even be running if the low-cost energy was on the grid.

Yes, a quarter-trillion dollars from your pockets to theirs — you still don’t think this is on purpose?

- SW
That extra $45 billion you paid is just the appetizer; the real feast is nearly a quarter-trillion dollars of excess Big Oil profit coming out of your pockets over the rest of this year.

Everyone deserves clean and safe drinking water, but the Trump Administration is seeking to reverse the rules that protect Americans from toxic forever chemicals. What happened to the MAHA agenda?

The Trump administration is taking away protections against dangerous PFAS. We keep learning more about the dangers of these toxic chemicals—we shouldn’t be backsliding and letting more into our water. Families shouldn’t have to second-guess what’s coming out of their tap.

Salvadoran human rights lawyer Ruth López was unjustly detained in El Salvador after speaking out about corruption and human rights abuses. As we mark one year of her detention, I call on the Bukele regime to release her and reaffirm our commitment to rule of law.

Americans want lower costs and affordable healthcare, not another endless war. Trump prioritized his war in Iran over working families, and he's going to face the consequences at the ballot box this November.

You can't sue yourself. You can't settle with yourself. And you can't hijack a legitimate victim compensation fund and turn it into a taxpayer-funded payoff scheme for January 6 insurrectionists. Congress never authorized this and we won't let it stand.

I hit the streets of Seattle looking for someone with $50 million in a trust fund. Why? Because many of the people who do have that much are using complicated trusts to dodge estate taxes. My Fair Trusts for Fiscal Responsibility Act closes the loophole. Let's pass it.

So what's it called when the majority party cuts health care for millions of Americans to give billionaires another tax break and pay for a golden ballroom?

What could you do with $1 billion? Feed kids. Lower insulin costs. Let people file taxes for free. Instead, Republicans wants to spend it on a gold-encrusted ballroom.

First, Trump pardoned the violent January 6th insurrectionists, and now he can use YOUR taxpayer dollars to pay them from a $1.8 BILLION slush fund. This is a heist and a disgrace.

Trump's DOJ is funneling your tax dollars to a slush fund to pay off Trump's buddies & allies, like rioters who stormed the Capitol & assaulted police on Jan 6th. An outrageous abuse of power.

Darin Smith violated defendants’ due process rights, and because of it, he jeopardized prosecutions of serious violent crimes. He’s wholly unqualified to be confirmed later today. Senate Republicans must answer for this.

Fans know the truth—it’s no accident that ticket prices are skyrocketing & scalpers hoard tickets. Ticketmaster/Live Nation is leveraging its monopolistic power to exploit consumers. Breaking up this behemoth & setting price caps on secondary sales is long overdue.
