It’s been over 13 hours since I started speaking, and I intend to stay on the Senate floor as long as I’m physically able. I’m here to do my job, as a Senator from New Jersey, to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed by President Trump. I'm am speaking up.
Dave Chappelle ended his SNL monologue with a plea to Trump:
"Whether people voted for you or not, they're all counting on you. Please, all of us, do better next time. Don't forget your humanity, & have empathy for displaced people, whether they're in the Palisades or Palestine"
I have evacuated 2 sons in the last 2 days. Thank God they are safe.
Anyone who blames Gavin Newsom for this is a moron.
Wildfires are an act of God or an arsonist.
Newsom is neither.
Mankind is responsible for the severity of the fire because of climate change.
Facts.
There’s an enormous amount of misinformation out there about the fires and the response. Some of these lies and distortions are dangerous and could cost lives. Our Governor @GavinNewsom has launched a website that lays out the facts. Please share: https://t.co/Mfjo38UUQt
In four years, the economy created 16.6 million new jobs – the most in any single presidential term.
In fact, there wasn’t a month when the economy lost jobs. Another record for any presidency.
The last month America lost jobs was the month before I came to office.
In coordination with @CountyofLA, the City of Los Angeles now has a curfew in effect for the evacuation areas in the #PalisadesFire until 6:00 AM.
Those who violate the order will be held accountable.
Help us support first responders as they continue to work on urgent response efforts.
The framers of our Constitution knew that our republic would endure only if our presidents have the character and honor to put duty ahead of self interest. President Biden deserves our gratitude for his decades of service to our nation and for his courageous decision today.
Donald Trump said he was going to stand up to Big Pharma and lower the cost of prescription drugs—instead, he bowed down.
President @JoeBiden and I took on Big Pharma and have capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month.
The contrast is clear.
