PFAS has been linked to cancer & developmental delays in children. We should be doing everything we can to get it OUT of our drinking water. But instead, the Trump Admin wants to do the opposite — putting our communities at risk. This isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

I’m heartbroken by the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego today. My thoughts are with the community and the families and loved ones of the victims. No one should fear for their safety in a house of worship. This kind of violence is unacceptable.
- RD
Republicans just mass confirmed 49 Trump nominees with one vote—including a handful of U.S. Attorneys. They even confirmed scandal-ridden Darin Smith, who is facing serious misconduct allegations for tainting a grand jury, jeopardizing prosecutions of serious violent crimes.

I grieve for the victims that we lost today and stand with their families and communities. No one deserves to live in fear of simply practicing their religion or going to school. 2/2

I'm horrified and heartbroken by the tragic shooting that occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego earlier today. Islamophobia and violence against Muslim communities in our country is absolutely unacceptable. 1/2

My thoughts are with the loved ones of the victims and the entire Islamic Center of San Diego community. Every American deserves to feel safe at their place of worship. We must end this violence.

I'm heartbroken by the attack at the Islamic Center in San Diego. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. Violence at any house of worship is unacceptable.

When leaders traffic in anti-Muslim rhetoric, violence follows. We must confront Islamophobia with the urgency it demands.
- CC
What happened at the Islamic Center of San Diego today is devastating. I’m praying for the victims & their loved ones. This is horrifying, & it didn't happen in a vacuum. Muslim communities in this nation have been demonized & treated as inherently suspect by those willing to fuel fear for power.
- MW
I’m heartbroken to see another act of violence targeting a religious community – this time at a mosque in San Diego. Muslim communities should be free to worship without fear. We need to speak out tirelessly against Islamophobia and the relentless scourge of gun violence.

Every time two media giants merge, workers eat the cost. Warner Bros. and Paramount want to combine now, and Arizona's 11,600 movie theater jobs are at risk. I wrote to the DOJ today asking them to do their job and actually review this deal before it does damage. coppercourier.com/news/gallego...

I am horrified by the attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Bigotry and Islamophobia have no place in America. I am praying for the victims and their families. Americans should be safe everywhere they go, especially in places of worship.

As we continue the fight against fentanyl use and the opioid epidemic, it is welcome news that overdose deaths declined in NH last year. I will keep working to ensure communities in our state have the resources they need to combat substance use disorder. www.wmur.com/article/cdc-...

Taxpayer dollars should be spent on helping you. Instead, Donald Trump wants to take $1.7 billion of your money to help his political allies, election deniers and insurrectionists. He is obsessed with using the Presidency to steal from you and enrich himself and his cronies.

Again, billions from your pockets to Big Oil — coincidence?

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?

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.

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.
