Secretary Rollins says she MOVED 5 million people off food stamps. No. She KICKED 5 million people off food stamps. Letting kids go hungry isn't the "win" you think it is. It's a damn disgrace.

My heart is broken at the news that @lvmpd.com Officer and Marine veteran Austin Abdelnabi was killed in the line of duty last night. I’m keeping Officer Abdelnabi's loved ones and fellow officers in my thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. His service & sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Wildfires are raging across the West and climate change is adding fuel to the fire. We’re thankful for our first responders battling these fires and we’re committed to fighting for the resources they need.

In Nov. 2024, the Chinese govt arrested Dr. Youlin Chen, an American citizen & scientist, on bogus claims of espionage. Dr. Chen has spent nearly 2 years in pretrial detention & his family is concerned for his health. I call on the Chinese govt to release Dr. Chen immediately & unconditionally.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have completely botched this war. Yesterday, Trump said that Phase 1 is to open the Strait of Hormuz. His goal is now to fix the thing he broke. And the only thing the American people have to show for it is higher prices.

I'm glad the court upheld the right of North Denver and Commerce City residents to hold Suncor accountable to the law and fight for clean air in their communities.
- MB
Suncor has a long history of violating emission limits, releasing toxic pollutants that disproportionately impact the neighborhoods surrounding its Commerce City refinery.

The devastation across Spokane County is heartbreaking but my commitment to support response and recovery is unshakeable. I write the bills that fund the government, and I will make Spokane’s recovery a top priority. Whatever it takes, for as long as it takes. 🌲❤️

Six years ago, our Great American Outdoors Act became law — marking one of the largest investments in America’s public lands in history. I was proud to help get that bill passed. And I look forward to following on that success when we pass our America the Beautiful Act.

NEWS: After demanding that the FAA deny Boeing's waiver for a safety flaw on its 737 MAX 7 back in 2024, the FAA has now certified the aircraft with a fix for the issue. Safety should always come first, and this fix must be included on every Boeing MAX variant. No matter what.

Todd Blanche oversaw the disastrous rollout of the Epstein files and led a redaction process that focused more on protecting President Trump than delivering justice for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. The AG should defend victims, the American people, and the Constitution, not just one man.

I was so glad to help pass this critical bipartisan law. NV’s public lands are breathtaking, and we must do everything we can to protect our state’s natural treasures.

@democrats.senate.gov are united against Trump’s Medicaid attacks. I’m fighting to lower health care costs & ensure vulnerable Americans can stay insured.
- JR
Strengthening Medicaid & building on its success is a priority for me because families need healthcare coverage. Tragically, the GOP is cutting Medicaid & kicking Americans off health insurance.

Anyone else think it’s weird that Trump alleged massive election interference by the CCP… but never really followed that up with any action? It should be abundantly clear these claims of election fraud are just a pretext to justify interfering in the midterms.
- PM
We need to crack down on Medicaid fraud. I completely agree. But what Republicans didn't mention at today's hearing on this very topic is that Trump pardoned criminals that were convicted of MAJOR Medicaid fraud. WATCH ⬇️

It's immoral to strip people of their health coverage just because they can’t afford bail. Congress must pass the Equity in Pretrial Health Coverage Act to make it easier for people who’ve been detained to get the healthcare they need. Healthcare is a human right.

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government is dismantling weather monitoring and alert systems.

Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and one of the chief architects of the Epstein cover-up, Todd Blanche, to be Attorney General. They are the ultimate enablers of Donald Trump’s corruption. Americans will respond accordingly in November.

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.

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...

They grew quieter about their next moves after the fierce public backlash in the wake of the Dobbs decision, but we knew the Trump Administration wouldn’t rest until every woman in America was subject to an abortion ban, including in states where abortion rights are protected by state law.
