THIS ⬇️ is why we have a free press. To all our journalists out there—and especially our women journalists (we see you!)—don’t stop asking the hard questions! 💅
Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. https://t.co/0StGlWz45f
We must lift the US oil blockade on Cuba.
This is economic warfare designed to suffocate an island.
Food is spoiling.
Water supply is compromised.
Healthcare services are disrupted.
End the blockade now. Grateful to all those helping deliver humanitarian aid!
Democrats keep trying to fund TSA salaries for workers.
Republicans keep stopping every attempt to pay TSA agents.
Why?
Because Republicans keep holding TSA salaries hostage until ICE funding passes without desperately needed reforms.
The Trump administration’s oil embargo on Cuba has now shut down the nation's power grid, resulting in a humanitarian crisis for over ten million people.
Utilities, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure have ceased to function, putting countless lives at risk.
This is a senseless, vindictive act of economic warfare by President Trump. Congress must act now to end his embargo and stop this preventable crisis.
Doctors in Havana say at least 3,000 people are relying on dialysis machines to stay alive, and may die if these blackouts continue. This is murder.

🚨 THIS IS AN ATROCITY:
CNN: Cuba’s electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse.
The first nationwide blackout since the US effectively CUT OFF Cuba’s oil supply.
11 million people. No power. No hospitals running on grid electricity. No refrigeration for medicine or food. No pumps for clean water.
This is not a sanction. This is not a diplomatic pressure campaign.
This is a siege.
While Trump launches a war in the Middle East and announces plans to “take Cuba” — his administration has already been quietly strangling the island for months.
Expelled Cuban doctors from the Caribbean.
Cut off the oil.
Now the lights are out for 11 million people.
Lindsey Graham said Cuba is next.
Trump said “I think I can do anything I want with it.”
They didn’t need bombs.
They turned off the lights.
Never stop connecting the dots.
TWEEPS: The SAVE Act requires passports and birth certificates just to vote. Those cost money. When politicians make you pay money to exercise a constitutional right, that’s a poll tax.

Please and thank you! 🙏💪
The Trump administration wants $50 billion to fund the illegal war in Iran. I’m a hard NO.
With that money, Congress could fund the Affordable Care Act’s health care tax credits this year and still have $20 billion left over.
Democrats are ready to pay TSA agents and other critical DHS employees today. If services continue to go interrupted or our homeland security is impacted, that’s on Republicans.
Let’s be clear: Democrats have voted again and again to pass funding for disaster recovery, airport security, cybersecurity, maritime law enforcement, and other priorities that keep Americans safe.
Republicans continue to block it.
Democrats tried to fund:
➡️TSA
➡️Cyber defense
➡️Coast Guard
➡️FEMA
➡️Everything at DHS but ICE & Border Patrol
Republicans blocked every single bill. Why? They want to give ICE & CBP more money without basic reforms.
Not on my watch.
Pete Hegseth needs to be fired.
New reporting seems to confirm our worst fears: it was a US missile that struck the girls school in Iran.
That strike comes at a time when Secretary Hegseth has systematically weakened US protections against civilian harm by our military.
@SenWarren
ICYMI: Senate Republicans just blocked funding for the Coast Guard.
Senator @ChrisMurphyCT’s bill would have funded the Coast Guard and ensured our servicemembers get paid while negotiations continue to rein in ICE and CBP.
Republicans will try to bring up the same failed DHS bill that refuses to rein in Trump’s out-of-control mass deportation and detention campaign–and it will fail again.
I’m going to the floor to support bills that fully fund FEMA's disaster relief and recovery and pay our TSA agents and Coast Guard. If they miss a paycheck, it’s on Republicans.
