RFK Jr. lies with reckless abandon. The truth is this administration slashed $1 trillion from Medicaid.
When Laura Loomer tweets, Trump’s cabinet jumps.
I actually don’t know who’s running this country’s national security apparatus at the moment: the hapless and incompetent Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth or the right-wing conspiracy theorist and 9/11 truther Laura Loomer.
Vaccines have saved millions of lives. They are indisputably one of the greatest achievements of humankind – full stop. RFK Jr.’s endless lies can’t make that fundamental truth go away.
Sen. Mark Warner, a top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, arranged a routine visit to the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office canceled it after posts by far-right activist Laura Loomer.
“How can you be that ignorant?” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) presses RFK Jr. on Covid facts. WATCH LIVE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3MO...
For the good of our kids and all Americans, it’s time for RFK Jr. to resign.
WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?
RFF Jr. has been in this job for months… and he can’t answer how many Americans died of COVID or if the vaccine saved any lives? It’s unbelievable and I’ll keep pushing for him to resign.
A tale of two crazies: who is running this administration right now? And why is RFK threatening lives with his dangerous leadership of HHS?
Laura Loomer is basically a cabinet member at this point. Trump and his entire administration are caving to whatever she wants. Watch me explain the latest updates from this week and how dangerous this is for our national security. youtu.be/cB76b1RytAk
Epstein survivors deserve justice. Release the files.
For years, I’ve conducted listening sessions for members of our Intel Community as a key part of my role on the Intel Committee. ...until conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer got involved and got one of my visits canceled. Who’s really calling the shots in this administration?
Congratulations to my good friend Cory on his engagement! Wishing you the best on this next chapter – we all live lives more full of laughter because of you! @booker.senate.gov
The Trump administration hits a new low… here’s why Laura Loomer’s coming after me.
Here’s what’s going on with Laura Loomer. (1/5)
A great day traveling the length of the Commonwealth – met with constituents in Franklin, Hopewell, and Fredericksburg, now taking all their concerns back to the Capitol.
A great day traveling the length of the Commonwealth – met with constituents in Franklin, Hopewell, and Fredericksburg, now taking all their concerns back to the Capitol.
Spent my afternoon in Hopewell talking about local water issues with leaders from across the Richmond area. Good to convene federal, state, and local voices to discuss plans to circumvent future issues and maintain quality water service for all Virginians.
Spent the morning with folks in Franklin — one of the six communities across Virginia that could have their hospital shuttered because of the big ugly bill. Ignoring this won’t make it go away — health care is about to get worse for millions because of this horrible law.
Happy Labor Day! Donald Trump’s attacks on unions and federal employees make our country weaker and less prosperous.
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
This administration won’t stop until it undermines all our independent institutions and centralizes power under its far-right cronies. From the Fed to the CDC, they’re chasing out nonpartisan career professionals that don’t bow to their crazy ideas.
These latest attacks on the CDC are stupidity on steroids.
This afternoon, I visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia and other detainees at the Farmville Detention Center to deliver letters from his family. He wants to keep fighting for justice.
Make no mistake — RFK Jr. and Trump’s endless attacks on the CDC, public health experts, and established science threaten lives and undermine our global research leadership. Vaccines save lives. We will never stop speaking up to protect that indisputable scientific consensus.
Thoughts and prayers and lowered flags don’t cut it. It’s time for Congress to do more to stop senseless mass shootings.
Good to be in Bedford this morning nerding out on broadband expansion. Virginia’s leading the way towards universal coverage, and I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure we get more homes and businesses connected ASAP.
What I’m hearing in Southside Virginia about the impacts of this administration’s chaos…
My thoughts are with the families of the victims in Minneapolis today. This is a heart-wrenching situation — how many more children will we lose, how many more schools will be torn apart by violence? We need to do more to prevent these senseless tragedies.
Great afternoon at KC Farms talking Red Angus beef, tariffs, and dairy production…. And got some delicious Homestead Creamery ice cream too. Always glad to hear how I can better support Virginia’s incredible farmers & producers.
Trump’s attempted firing of Lisa Cook should be a wake up call for everyone — this administration is attacking the independence of the Fed. Will the business community finally find their voice to say this can’t stand?
My statement on President Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook.
Donald Trump ran on lowering costs. Instead, inflation is up and slated to get way worse. Companies from Walmart to P&G are announcing price increases directly as a result of these disastrous taxes.
DC statehood now.
Companies that have said they’re going to raise prices directly as a result of Trump’s tariffs: Walmart AutoZone P&G Adidas Sony … and a whole lot more. Don’t say they didn’t warn you!
D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
Bad news: businesses are jacking up YOUR prices because of Trump’s tariffs.
The reports of famine in Gaza are unconscionable. It’s long past time for President Trump to use his leverage to push for the release of significantly more humanitarian aid.
When Trump took office, the effective tariff rate was below 3%. Now it’s over 18%. Unless he backs down again, your prices are going to skyrocket… and this administration will be directly to blame.
If Donald Trump really cared about the safety of the residents of DC, he probably would have started by placing a little more pressure on the Republican House to fix a tiny logistical hiccup that cost DC $1 billion – hurting local police. Instead, DC still isn’t able to access its own tax dollars.
Pillar by pillar, this administration is trying to undermine the independence of all our systems and concentrate power in this imperial presidency.
ICE’s budget is now larger than the militaries of most countries across the globe. How does that make sense?
When Trump took office, the effective tariff rate was 2.3%. Now it’s 18.6%. Let’s call this what it is – a huge tax scam that will make your life more expensive.
Deeply frightening that our national security lies in the hands of the incompetent and hapless Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard. For the good of this country, they should both resign.
Washington DC’s 700,000+ residents deserve federal representation. DC statehood now.
Hey it’s a day ending in ‘Y’ so Tulsi Gabbard has launched yet another weird gambit to distract from the administration’s failure to release the Epstein files
It's pretty clear at this point that Donald Trump doesn't understand what's at stake in Ukraine.
We should all hope for peace, but not at the expense of Ukraine’s freedom or America’s principles.
Cash bonuses to deport anyone on their way to work or on their way to pick up their kids from school. Does any of this actually seem like a good use of government dollars?
Inflation is rising. Unemployment is up. Rents are up. This administration is failing on its promises and actively making everything worse.
The three worst months of hiring since… the last time Donald Trump was president. Trump ran on improving the economy. He has a failing record.
Virginians’ health premiums could jump 20% next year because Trump & Republicans let critical health tax credits expire while protecting tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. I’m fighting to restore them and keep health care affordable for Virginia families.
After years of inaction, we’re finally taking action on lowering housing costs. There’s more to do, and I’m ready to keep leading the charge.
And they still haven’t released the Epstein Files. What are they trying to hide?
The Big, Ugly Bill exploded ICE’s budget. Why is ICE better funded than the entire Brazilian or Italian militaries? Why is it better funded than kids’ insurance programs or addiction recovery initiatives?
Tulsi Gabbard is a threat to our national security and should be fired.
I can’t do my job totally hidden – every vote I make is public. Most folks can’t do their jobs totally hidden. So why do we let ICE? I'm trying to make sure that ICE is held to the exact same standards as you and I – they must be unmasked and identifiable on the job.
And while they rip health care away from 16 million and spike prices with tariffs… their priority is a new $200 million ballroom for bigger, fancier parties.
Live from Washington, it’s Saturday afternoon… talking about Trump’s corrupt attack on independent economic data.
Trump is trying to send the jobs data into the same dark vault where he’s hiding the Epstein report Because if the facts don’t serve him, he does everything he can to bury them
Unreal. In yet another one of the Trump administration’s distraction tactics from their failure to release the Epstein files, they invited someone guilty of statutory rape with a 16-year-old to the White House.
NEW: I’m introducing legislation to make sure that ICE can’t conduct raids totally masked and without any identification. It’s time to make sure they’re held to the same standards as all other law enforcement.
We get tons of coffee from Brazil… so Trump’s 50% tariffs will mean a steep mark-up on your morning cup. And the reason you’ll be paying more? As per usual with Trump, it’s about corruption and personal grievance – not about what’s best for the American people.
The American people deserve the truth. I’m championing legislation that would compel the administration to release all the Epstein files. We can’t keep letting Trump try to pull the wool over our eyes.
And from the administration that promised lower costs… a new tax hike on countless everyday essentials. This was completely avoidable. We never needed these tariffs. And now you’re footing the bill.
Bad news folks – your costs for everyday essentials like toothpaste, paper towels, diapers, and more are going to spike directly because of Trump’s tariffs. What a cruel tax on working families.
After the passage of the GOP tax scam, ICE’s budget is now larger than the FBI and most militaries across the globe. Shouldn’t we be investing more in investigating and capturing serious criminals and terrorists than rounding folks up on their way to work?
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is an unconscionable, devastating tragedy. It’s long past time for President Trump to use his leverage to secure peace and increase humanitarian aid access.
This morning in the Banking Committee, we advanced bipartisan legislation to begin to expand supply and lower housing costs across the country. It’s just the first step, but it’s progress, and I’m ready to keep working to get more housing built and lower costs for all.
Immigrant communities are facing unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety, and fear. We all need to do more to speak out about ICE’s out-of-control budget and show our support for these communities.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is unconscionable. I’ve repeatedly spoken up to support more humanitarian aid, and today I’m calling on the Trump administration to press Netanyahu for immediate change.
A definitive timeline of the Trump administration’s plot to mislead, distract and deceive the American people from finding out the truth about the Epstein List.
Agreed… surveillance pricing is not appropriate. Delta’s use of AI raises a whole lot of questions about pricing discrimination and consumer privacy. I’m seeking answers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Tulsi Gabbard has been on the outs with Trump since she undermined him on Iran intelligence. So it’s no surprise she’s doing everything she can to help him distract from Epstein files. But America isn’t looking away. Trump must release the Epstein List.
At a time when American consumers are already stretched thin by rising inflation, home prices, and child care costs… Delta wants to squeeze even more money out of you by using AI to determine the highest fares consumers will pay. Hell no. I’m pushing back.
Is anyone even a little bit surprised?
Do they actually think we’re dumb enough to fall for this
Republicans are literally trying anything – including declassifying other random reports – to distract from their broken promise to release the Epstein files. Let’s not let them pull the wool over our eyes. Release the Epstein files.
Trump is importing criminals into our country while deporting hardworking members of our communities without due process.

Delta is planning to use AI to mine our data and set fare prices. It’s incredibly dangerous and could even lead to situations where they ramp up fares for passengers who need flights urgently because of a death in the family. I’m pressing for answers on this alarming scheme.
The American people are right to continue asking: What are they trying to hide? (8/8)
Releasing this so-called report is just another reckless act by a Director of National Intelligence so desperate to please Donald Trump that she is willing to risk classified sources, betray our allies, and politicize the very intelligence she has been entrusted to protect. (7/8)
Nothing in this partisan, previously scuttled document changes that. (6/8)
... was that Russia launched a large-scale influence campaign in the 2016 election in order to help then-candidate Donald Trump. (5/8)
Let’s be clear: the bipartisan, unanimous finding of the Senate Intelligence Committee, after years of painstaking investigation, more than 200 witness interviews, and millions of documents... (4/8)
And in doing so, Director Gabbard is sending a chilling message to our allies and assets around the world: the United States can no longer be trusted to protect the intelligence you share with us. (3/8)
The desperate and irresponsible release of the partisan House intelligence report puts at risk some of the most sensitive sources and methods our Intelligence Community uses to spy on Russia and keep Americans safe. (2/8)
It seems as though the Trump administration is willing to declassify anything and everything except the Epstein files. (1/8)
A new low in their effort to distract from the Epstein files. In an attempt to create ANY distraction, they’re declassifying intelligence that will damage our intelligence sources and methods. WHAT in those Epstein files? What are they so afraid of?
First Tulsi cooks up some insane “Obama-Russia-Hoax” conspiracy that’s a clear distraction from Epstein. Then Trump dumps weird videos on Truth Social. Then Johnson dismisses the entire House because he’s scared of an Epstein vote… Hmm… what are they so afraid of?
Republicans will do or say ANYTHING not to release the Epstein files.
Donald Trump and Russ Vought want to make our appropriations process LESS bipartisan. They’re threatening Fed independence. They’re threatening Congress’s role in appropriations. They’re centralizing economic power under MAGA.
Republicans are trying to charge taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to needlessly transfer a space shuttle from a museum in Virginia to Texas. Where’s their care and concern for stewarding taxpayer dollars now?
