No, President Trump. Illegally canceling $2 billion in funding to deal with the mental health, addiction and opioid crises will not Make America Healthy Again. It will lead to more illnesses, more overdoses and more deaths. This blatantly unconstitutional act must be rescinded.

For Trump to put his name on the Kennedy Center and other federal buildings is not only arrogant and narcissistic, it is illegal. We must put an end to sitting presidents naming buildings after themselves — and that’s what my bill does.

President Trump is rapidly moving this country toward authoritarianism. Part of that is creating the myth of the “Great Leader” by naming public buildings after himself—something dictators have done. Today I introduced a bill with @vanhollen.senate.gov & @alsobrooks.senate.gov to stop it.

Nearly 15,000 NYC nurses are fighting for a fair contract to protect patient care. Shame on NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore and Mount Sinai hospitals for being willing to spend millions on replacement nurses rather than bargain for a fair contract.

Israel is forcing Doctors Without Borders & dozens of other humanitarian groups to end their work in Gaza. Countless innocent people rely on these services amid the ongoing crisis there. This is yet another cruel, inhumane step from the extremist Israeli government.

Trump has: - Illegally & unconstitutionally attacked Venezuela - Provided Netanyahu with $12B in arms sales - Given Argentina's president a $40B bailout - Approved the sale of jets & tanks to Saudi Arabia - Given Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho America first? Really?

Maduro was a dictator. But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy. He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him. Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil. That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.

The Trump administration froze billions of dollars in child care assistance for nearly 340,000 children. At a time when our child care system is already struggling, this will be a disaster for working parents and their kids. This illegal order must be rescinded.

The House did the right thing by extending ACA subsidies and stopping health care costs from exploding for 20 million Americans. The Senate must pass it next. Short-term relief matters — but long term, we must fix our broken health care system and move toward Medicare for All.

Our health care system is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck. Instead of trying to "run" Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the United States.

Congratulations to the more than 1,000 Fenway Park workers who won strong wage increases and vital job protections against AI and automation through their new union contract. These workers make Fenway special. I'm delighted they are finally receiving the respect they deserve.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.
