Trump's decision to withhold nearly $7 billion for afterschool, summer and educational programs nationwide is illegal and unconstitutional. Congress unambiguously passed it. The president signed it into law. Trump has no right to withhold it. He must release this funding.

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%. That's not what the American people want.

Robotics and AI are revolutionizing the economy. Who benefits? Who gets hurt? How do we make the new technologies benefit ALL, not just the few. That is the major economic issue of our time.

It is a dark day for freedom of the press. Paramount’s decision to settle with Trump will only embolden him to continue his attack on the media. Trump is undermining our democracy and moving us towards authoritarianism, and the billionaires are helping him do it.

Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses. I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half. No Republicans voted for it.

I hope my Republican colleagues will listen to their constituents and vote against this obscene legislation, which is a massive wealth transfer to the very wealthy from the working class.

The Big, Beautiful Bill throws 16 million off health care & decimates our already broken system. I have an amendment to do the opposite. We EXPAND Medicare to cover dental, hearing & vision & pay for it by cutting prescription drug prices in half. Will any Republican support it?.

It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college. That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is a gift to the billionaire class while causing massive pain for working families. It is the most dangerous piece of legislation in the modern history of our country. I’m LIVE on the floor to oppose this disastrous bill.

This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million. In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.

We need funding to address the health care, child care and education crises that working people face every day. We should be investing our resources to improve life for the American people. We should NOT be wasting money on illegal and unnecessary wars.

How grotesque. The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

The United States must not be dragged into another unnecessary and costly war. We have had enough of them. I'm speaking LIVE in the Senate to make clear that Congress alone has the power to take the country to war, not the president.

The Republican reconciliation bill is a disaster. Instead of slashing Medicaid and throwing 16 million people off of the health care they have, why don’t we do what every other wealthy nation does. GUARANTEE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AS A HUMAN RIGHT.

Republicans' disastrous budget bill is the most significant attack on the health care needs of the American people in history. Instead of throwing 16 million people off the health care they have, we should guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We must not throw 16 million low-income and working class Americans off of the health care they have in order to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. That is obscene.

At a time when the working families of our country face major crises in housing, health care, education and other areas, we should be investing our resources in improving life for the American people, not wasting money on a war with Iran. Read my op-ed in Fox News:

While the world watches Israel's war with Iran, Netanyahu's extremist government continues to starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza. Today, Israeli forces again opened fire on people desperately trying to collect food aid, killing dozens. Over 56,000 have been killed so far.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
