Republicans are waging a broader, calculated campaign to destroy the ACA & take away health insurance from millions of Americans. We must stop them.

As Senator, I advocate for CT veterans when they are denied VA health care or benefits.  But now the Trump VA has decided it won’t assist Congressional offices with casework despite it being an essential service. The VA should do its job—& enable us to do ours.

$250 million for a gilded White House ballroom. $0 to help Americans afford health insurance. Trump’s presidential priorities are crystal clear.

You can’t make this stuff up—a demand for $230 million (taxpayer dollars) by President Trump, to be approved by top DOJ officials, his former personal lawyers. Head spinning chutzpah. Eye watering conflicts of interest. More corrupt self enrichment. https://t.co/rN1UG6GBJA

SNL got it right—showing Bondi’s well prepared combative refusal to answer our questions. Mikey Day, you’re welcome to join me on the Judiciary Committee any time—& maybe Bondi will answer more questions from you. Also, call me if you hear from the FCC.

My heart breaks for the students at Annunciation Catholic School & their loved ones. Our children deserve to be safe no matter where they are, but especially at school. The need for commonsense gun violence prevention is urgent. The Senate must take action.

In a new Perspective, Thomas C. Tsai, MD, MPH (@Thomasctsai), Gregg S. Meyer, MD, and @DavidBlumenthal, MD, MPP, write that a new Massachusetts law may be the most far-reaching U.S. state legislation aimed at curtailing the influence of private equity in health care, and it could

Trump blinks—again. Just as he ducked his Russia deadline on Friday, he’s delaying any sanctions reckoning for China. A reprieve & retreat for Russia’s largest oil & gas customer. A message of supreme weakness going into this week’s Putin summit.

Democracy dies when people become inured to a tyrant’s reality distortion machine—like Trump’s. Cooking the books, shooting the messenger, suppressing the media, & more—all mark the march to tyranny. Constant & cumulative—like Trump’s—they need to be called out & pushed back.

Top VA political appointees are in denial—dismissing & disregarding the real impacts of their draconian cuts in workforce & resources. More than morale, access to health care & benefits are increasingly threatened.

America’s Obstetricians come out “extremely disappointed” by HHS / FDA decision to deny women the choice to get the Covid vaccine during pregnancy I cant imagine ever having made such a decision without consulting with @acog first It’s pretty bad https://t.co/hCyQDE7UXd

Scorching sanctions on Russia are urgently necessary— now— before Putin’s anticipated summer offensive. He’s playing Trump, & America, stalling for time. My Russia Sanctions bill with @LindseyGrahamSC has an overwhelming 82 Senate cosponsors. Let’s act.

Last night I joined @CNN to discuss Trump's corrupt crypto dinner & the Administration's unlawful decision to bar Harvard from enrolling international students—creating fear & anxiety & threatening academic independence.

CBO projects that House reconciliation bill will cause 1.38 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries to lose Medicaid coverage. We estimate that this will lead to over 18,000 avoidable deaths/year stemming from loss of LIS. Link to memo led by @PennLDI: https://t.co/HyP03DhrSI

I joined @CNN today to discuss Trump's dinner last night with the top holders of his meme coin- an unprecedented & unconscionable selling of his office.

Polio, measles, and chickenpox vaccines are some of the most rigorously tested and widely administered vaccines—they have saved the lives of millions of children.  https://t.co/PVmbFrKlRt

Foreign gov’ts have figured out how to get to Trump. It's through his wallet. His willingness to use the privileges of his Office & violate the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause to enrich himself & his family knows no bounds. Congress simply cannot stand aside.

I just got off the Senate floor where Republicans blocked my resolution that would help to stop Trump's blatant, brazen corruption-like accepting payments & gifts from foreign governments.

What the Framers never anticipated was the pathetic submission of Congress to the whims of a tyrant. I'm introducing this resolution to demand the Senate assert its authority & require Trump’s compliance w/the Constitution, & I’ll be calling for its passage on the Senate Floor 3/

To stop Donald Trump’s self-enriching lawless thuggery, & protect its own lawful powers, the Senate must invoke the Constitution through legal action in federal court. 1/
