President Trump wants to end basic job protections for 50,000 federal workers, punishing dedicated civil servants on a whim. Forcing federal workers to appease this administration or get fired undermines their ability to do their jobs serving the public interest.

Trump is cancelling clean energy projects while forcing coal plants to stay open past their retirement dates—increasing energy bills by putting billions in additional repair costs back on customers. Trump owns this energy crisis.

The last nuclear arms treaty between the U.S. and Russia is expiring. There's now a real possibility of a new nuclear arms race between global superpowers. President Trump must work with Russia and China to forge a new arms control treaty to prevent a nuclear war.

The day after DHS agents shot Alex Pretti 10 times, Secretary Bessent suggested it was justified because Pretti had a gun holstered on his waist, which he was licensed to carry. As the Treasury Secretary, his credibility matters. His refusal to retract his words speaks volumes.

🚨Throughout his career, Justin Olson attacked women, pushing radical beliefs about fetal personhood and undermining our basic rights. He once preached that "wives are the subjects of their husbands." Senate Republicans just gave him a lifetime judicial appointment.

Trump's immigration crackdown is also about stealing the 2026 election. Trump and MAGA Republicans know they can't win at the ballot box, so they are setting the stage to deploy Trump's private army of ICE thugs against American voters. We must protect our elections.

Republicans love to say—pay attention to what Trump says, not what he does. As the UK, Canada, and the EU move towards China due to Trump's erratic behavior, my new op-ed in TIME has my advice: it's time to pay attention to what our allies are doing, too. Read it here: time.com/7369006/cong...

A White House spokesman is free to lie that “offshore wind is the most expensive source of energy,” but in court when the states asserted huge consumer savings, the administration was conspicuously quiet. There are consequences for lying in court.
- SW
Low-cost wind would displace high-cost fossil, so by delaying it and raising your rates, they steer money to Trump’s big fossil fuel donors. Payback to cronies, with your dollars.
- SW
Offshore wind would make our grid more reliable in the winter, and reduce costs. Trumpsters lie about that to cover up the scam they’re running.

Add inexpensive clean energy to the grid, and some fossil fuel power plants JUST DON’T RUN, they’re idled. Fossil fuel pushes Trump’s goons to BAN CLEAN ENERGY to keep money coming in to their obsolete, expensive, polluting plants — and YOU PAY FOR IT.
- SW
Remember: when expensive, polluting fossil fuel plants come on line, the most expensive one sets the price for the ENTIRE GRID, which means consumer costs go WAY UP. You pay for this mess, and your costs are raised ON PURPOSE by Trump and his corrupt fossil fuel donors.
- SW
Again, YOUR prices go up, and Trump’s fossil fuel donors pocket the money (it’s billions, btw).
- SW
The hits keep coming: NY grid confirms, “in the absence of new [blocked clean energy] resources coming online, older and more costly [fossil fuel] generators are being dispatched more frequently, resulting in higher wholesale prices.”

🚨I took to the Senate floor to pass a bill to force the Senate to sue the Trump administration for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Republicans objected.
