Big Tobacco donated to President Trump with the expectation of favorable treatment. Boy, did Trump deliver. For the first time in history, FDA has approved flavored e-cigarettes, despite the known risk to kids, and allowed countless other illegal vapes to remain available to kids indefinitely.

When discussing a bill that would tackle housing affordability, Trump reportedly said, “no one gives a [bleep] about housing,” insisting Republicans focus on his voter disenfranchisement bill, the SAVE America Act, instead. This Admin would rather undermine democracy than lower costs for families.
A New Mexico jury found Meta liable to the tune of $375 million for harming kids. It’s time Congress takes note. REGULATE BIG TECH.
President Trump’s war with Iran sent gas and diesel prices through the roof, all without any clear or coherent endgame. You are paying more at the pump because of the President’s foreign policy whims.
The SAVE America Act would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, seniors, and veterans to vote. That is an affront to our democracy, and I will be voting no.
President Trump’s constant impulsiveness is something we’ve come to expect from him. But his instability poses real risks to America’s economy and our service members abroad.
President Trump promised his White House ballroom wouldn’t cost the American taxpayer a penny. Now, he’s pushing Republicans in Congress to allocate $1 billion for its construction. Just another one of his broken promises.
Donald Trump’s weaponized Justice Department just settled with… Donald Trump. What’d he get? A slush fund of $1.776 billion dollars for himself, his allies, and violent insurrectionists. He’s out for himself—not you.
Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes. This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.
The President claims that the SAVE America Act is necessary to stop noncitizen voting. So I looked at the data. The Bipartisan Policy Center analyzed the Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database and found only 77 cases of noncitizens successfully casting ballots in elections over 24 years.
I brought a pocket Constitution to the Senate floor to give Congressional Republicans a civics lesson. Only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.

Activist Guido Reichstadter scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in Washington, D.C. earlier this month to protest the Iran war. "What I did was follow the call of my heart. I couldn't stay silent in the face of these ongoing acts of mass murder by the U.S. government in my name."

The impacts of sexual assault affect large swaths of a person's life that doesn't end in a few hours. It doesn't mean that you're never going to succeed in life. It does mean that it is a new normal that you will have to find.
