What can we do with $750 billion instead of funding unnecessary wars? Fund high speed rail, cancel out American’s medical debt, finance education programs, and fully fund SNAP. I’m introducing the Slash the Pentagon Act to cap Trump’s bloated Pentagon budget.
Student debt relief? “Too expensive.”
Universal healthcare? “Too expensive.”
Housing the homeless? “Too expensive.”
Trump’s Iran deal $300 BILLION? "Fuck yeah!"
They always find the money. Just never for you.
Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor.
Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails.
My wealth tax would level the playing field.
Let's get it done.
This decision further illustrates the need for a thoughtful and durable national strategy on AI. Decisions this consequential shouldn’t turn on a single directive issued at 5pm on a Friday. They should follow rules that are clear, fair, grounded in technical facts, and built to last beyond any one administration.
Congress must act.
A society that can fund mass deportation, war, surveillance, tax breaks, and corporate giveaways can fund housing, healthcare, schools, and wages. It chooses not to because in that society, empathy and compassion have been deemed as something bad.
In the richest country on earth, 20% of our seniors should not be forced to live on $15,000 a year or less.
We must lift the cap on taxable income, increase Social Security benefits, and strengthen Social Security's solvency for generations to come.
Is the White House running a pay-to-play loyalty program for wealthy donors?
More than HALF of the known companies bankrolling Trump's ballroom have won new or expanded federal contracts.
I have a bill to stop this.
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.
Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.
When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.
Because of your voice on Delaney Hall, the Trump admin just released 18 yr old high school senior whose story I told. They released the pregnant women held inside. These releases show ICE isn’t targeting the violent criminals. ICE is feeling the pressure. Keep raising your voice.
The House, for the first time, voted to halt Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran. The Senate did the same two weeks ago, a vote I was proud to join. The dam is breaking. GOP support for the war is evaporating. Trump must end this war now.
Secretary Bessent won't admit that it's a conflict of interest for President Trump to trade stocks at the same time he makes decisions affecting those stocks.
He knows better.
Since Donald Trump took office, ICE agents have been deployed into our communities with masked, unmarked cars and hidden badges.
Kids are missing school, parents are missing doctor’s appointments, and entire communities are living in fear.
I stand with @MassGovernor.

I can’t believe I have to say this:
The President should not financially benefit from the very government he controls.
I’ve got a bill to stop Trump’s corruption.
Canada strongly condemns Russia’s launch of large-scale missile and drone attacks on civilian targets in Kyiv tonight.
For more than four years since Russia’s illegal invasion, it has greatly underestimated the courage, determination, and strength of the Ukrainian people — even as Putin’s regime has relentlessly bombed Ukrainian energy infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and homes.
We call on Russia to immediately cease these strikes and end this illegal war of aggression. They prolong human suffering and do nothing to change the fact that Russia will lose this war.
Canada will continue working closely with international partners to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe.
Tonight, the Russians struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities and communities. The largest number of missiles was directed at the capital – at ordinary residential buildings, at schools; they burned down a food market, one of Kyiv’s oldest markets. The Russian strike effectively destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum and the building housing the office of Germany’s ARD. As of now, 69 people have been reported injured in the capital. Tragically, two people were killed in this senseless Russian attack. My condolences to everyone who has lost family members and loved ones.
I have already spoken with the President of France and the Prime Minister of Norway. There will be further communication with our partners today. I am grateful to everyone who is not staying silent about what Russia is doing. They are waging war solely against our people – against our memory, our history, and everything that makes up normal human life. It is important that Russia understands that they will be held accountable for all these crimes.
$15M for painting the Lincoln Reflecting Pool electric-blue.
$100M for a giant Arch named after Trump.
$1B for Trump’s ballroom.
If this administration is interested in rooting out government waste, they can take a look at Trump's taxpayer-funded vanity projects.
Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out
