After Hurricane Debby, the state-backed insurer zero-dollared more than 2/3 of Floridians’ claims. It’s their position that more than 2/3 of Floridians are fraudsters entitled to nothing? Or is Florida’s political elite covering for insurance and fossil fuel donors?

Florida officials say it’s not climate change but their own citizens’ massive fraud that’s driving the home insurance crisis. Nice, huh? Here’s how many Floridians get zero dollars after an insurance claim:

We have a Secretary of Defense suggesting testosterone testing for every member of our military. I think there is enough money to compensate victims of sexual assault.

What’s a birthday without some cake?! 🎂🎂🎂 Joined @magaziner.house.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov at Coventry Senior Center to celebrate the tremendous impacts of #Medicare and #Medicaid and the need to protect and strengthen these programs for the next 61+ years.

When Ralph de la Torre defied a Senate subpoena over Steward Health Care's collapse, the Senate unanimously voted to hold him in contempt. He sued to avoid answering to Congress—and lost. The DOJ must enforce the law and hold de la Torre accountable.

No. This is a bald faced lie. Trump cut the agency that protects cybersecurity by $700 million and still hasn’t nominated a permanent director for it. Trump is grossly incompetent. He is responsible.

While Turkish President Erdogan continues to lock up journalists, political participants, and minorities, Trump rewards him by lifting sanctions. I'm reintroducing the Turkey Human Rights Promotion Act to make clear that the U.S. supports peace and stands against dictatorships.

There’s no better way to close out the summer session of the Senate than hosting a constituent coffee with @duckworth.senate.gov to hear directly from Illinoisans about the issues that matter most. Thank you to everyone who came to speak with us today!

We must drag every state official who manipulated their maps to silence Black voters before Congress, and we've got to investigate if any illegal racial discrimination took place. We deserve answers.

Half of American parents are going into debt just to send their kids back to school. That's not normal. That's a cost of living crisis. I'm fighting every day to lower costs for Arizona families so back to school doesn't mean back to debt.

All around the country, doctors who care for seniors are struggling to stay afloat because Medicare is simply not paying them enough for their services. That's why I’m leading a bill with Senator Boozman to increase payments so seniors can keep access to the providers they rely on.

I am deeply concerned that Trump may plan to steal the upcoming election. We know that no unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional act is beyond him. We must sound the alarm.

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” Blanche had to lie, and lie about lies, and walked himself into box canyons of lying. They’re hiding documents, pretending they don’t exist, which would only worsen the collusion. The truth will out.
- SW
9. The documents behind the scenes between the White House, “Trump’s lawyers,” and Blanche’s crooked DOJ as this collusive scam was cooked up, will be telling — likely damning. We’ve demanded the documents be preserved. No shredding, kiddies. www.whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release...
link:https://www.whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release/whitehouse-and-durbin-demand-doj-preserve-documents-on-trump-family-tax-amnesty-settlement-and-jan-6-cop-beater-slush-fund/
- SW
8. Either way, the federal judge found collusion and sent her decision to NY Bar authorities, where Blanche already faces a complaint. Their investigation could expose the tangled web. The judge reserved decision on “fraud on the court”; she too could investigate. And the Florida Bar.
- SW
7. If he doesn’t enter an appearance, and the “Trump lawyers” appeal for him, it’s a new chapter in the collusion. They have to practice in that court, and one of Trump’s lawyers has already been referred for bar discipline there, so they have their own problems to worry about.
- SW
6. It gets thicker if someone appeals. Blanche (very weirdly) filed no DOJ pleadings in the case, probably to evade disciplinary action for the collusive “fraud on the court” problem he has. If he enters an appearance to appeal, BOOM, he’s solidly under the court’s authority.
- SW
5. The slush fund was established in a document negotiated and signed between Blanche (signed by his stooge) and “Trump’s lawyers.” Where are the communications around that, which Blanche says he didn’t have? Where’d the deal come from? Was it immaculate conception?
- SW
4. He pretends he’s had no communication with “Trump’s lawyers.” Strange, since someone for DOJ “negotiated” the “deal.” Strange, since Trump’s lawyers spoke for DOJ in a pleading. Strange, since the federal judge found there was “collusion,” which takes both sides.
- SW
3. Tillis and Cornyn trying to extract an actual end to the slush fund and the Trump tax fraud amnesty, and being rebuffed, proves that the promise was false. Trump wants BOTH, and weasel Blanche is stuck with his client’s decision. So he squirms. And lies.
- SW
2. For instance, all Blanche said was that the Fund was dead and would not be set up. How do you weasel around that? Add one more collusive codicil to the crooked deal, and there’s a brand new vehicle for the $$$. “Hey, I said we wouldn’t use ‘the Fund,’ and we didn’t.”
- SW
1. Everybody hates both Trump’s crooked slush fund AND the crooked Trump family tax fraud amnesty, so Blanche weaseled a false answer that the slush fund was “DEAD.” But he wouldn’t put in writing. That’s a tell in general, and with lawyers’ weasel words in particular.
- SW
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave . . . .” AG nominee Todd Blanche is snarled deep in a tangled web of his own making, and he and Republicans are covering up the messy tangle. That won’t last. The mess is too thick. The stink is too rank. 🧵

It’s heartbreaking that we lose nearly 50,000 Americans annually to suicide. People in crisis need help — and fast. Our 9-8-8 hotline is bringing that help and it’s saving lives.

Remember last month when Senate Republicans blocked my bills to kill Trump's slush fund for good and redirect the funding to Medicaid, SNAP, or law enforcement if it was brought back? Now we know why — it's because the fund was never dead after all.

For years, Ralph de la Torre and Cerberus Capital Management bled MA hospitals dry. While they flew on private jets and made millions, workers went unpaid, patients died, and hospitals were forced to close. Massachusetts deserves accountability, and Ralph de la Torre deserves to be in jail.

Technology that generates nude images of people, oftentimes without their consent, is disturbing. Minnesota passed a bipartisan law to ban nudification technology. Now Elon Musk’s company is suing to block that law from taking effect.

Todd Blanche is unfit to be Attorney General – plain and simple. He has shown he is more interested in being Trump’s personal lawyer than serving the American people.

Trump is more focused on collecting money for his pet projects than he is on governing. Offering donors special access in exchange for tens of millions of dollars isn’t draining the swamp — it’s expanding it.

Trump’s nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia has argued that the United States has a Christian identity and that the separation of church and state is a myth. If confirmed by the Senate, he will represent Americans of ALL faiths, and work with diplomatic leaders from around the world.

Service members that survived an Iranian attack claim the Trump admin IGNORED their asks for advanced medical aid and failed to protect them from strikes. Our troops deserve better. Rep. Pat Ryan and I led Democrats in opening an investigation into whether Pete Hegseth left them behind.
