Today I joined @SenGillibrand in calling for @POTUS to deschedule marijuana as a controlled substance. For too many years, this country has waged a failed War on Drugs, including the criminalization of marijuana, that has inflicted untold suffering on millions of Americans. Marijuana never should have been placed on the most restrictive schedule of the Controlled Substances Act—alongside substances such as heroin and cocaine. I appreciate the Biden Administration’s decision to review the status of marijuana, and I strongly urge the Administration to deschedule it completely. It is time to end the prohibition and criminalization of marijuana at the federal level.
@SenTuberville As usual, traitor Tuberville, you're pulling crap out of thin air. Why don't you tell companies like Walmart to buy LOCAL products like catfish first before importing foreign. The same with the widespread price gouging by most companies. Inflation is way down. Stop blaming Biden!
America needs bipartisan leadership when it comes to rail safety. Yet rail safety legislation proposed by Democrats and Republicans has yet to advance in Congress.
Almost one year since the Norfolk Southern derailment in East Palestine, it's long past time to get this done.
Lauren Boebert finishes 5th in a straw poll at the first GOP primary debate in her new district. She received just 10% of the vote from the Republicans who participated in the survey at the debate.
She's finished.
The fact that Republicans attack Joe Biden because his son struggled with addiction when Ronny the Candyman Jackson was handing out fentanyl, hydrocodone, morphine, adderall and oxycodone like it was goddamn candy while Trump was in office is some next level fucking hypocrisy.
@xOxPhanteraxOx @KamalaHarris Actually it was the orange guy's admin that ripped tens of thousands of children from their parents with no way or plan to get them reunited.
@TTuberville@JoeBiden Hey, I'm all for shutting down all MSM, including @Fox and @Newsmax, or at the very least reimplementing the fairness act, which would pretty much shut them down if they had to tell the truth. The media isn't doing this country any favors.
Sen Tillis says it’s “immoral” for Republicans to refuse to fix immigration b/c they think it helps Trump. I agree. But it’s also immoral to deny the American people living wages, healthcare & voting rights. Morality requires justice across the board, @SenThomTillis.
“The U.S. economy continued to grow at a healthy pace at the end of 2023, capping a year in which unemployment remained low, inflation cooled and a widely predicted recession never materialized.”
So the “steady as she goes - ignore the damn polls” hand of @JoeBiden and his economic team is working. No wonder consumer confidence is up, the stock market is up and businesses are looking ahead to growth. Well done sir!
