In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less.
We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.
RFK Jr. cuts the CDC flu vaccine campaign during one of the worst flu seasons! Blame national increases in illness and death on those fools who nominated and confirmed him!

What the actual fuck?! America, itโs time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!
While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

Senator Markey and colleagues are denied angry into the EPA Headquarters
We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.
We donโt have to imagine what Russell Vought would do. He already told us in Project 2025.
We protested through the night to send a clear message: NO to Russell Vought. We cannot stand idle while he seeks to harm Arizona children and families.
Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:
They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.
These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.
Not bad in a couple of months time!

Campuses No Longer Off-Limits to ICE
The Trump administration cleared the way for immigration enforcement officers to take action on campuses, sowing fear among undocumented students. Higher ed leaders are struggling with how to respond. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/4hnSgDy
I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.
I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.
Yes! I ๐ you @iamwandasykes.bsky.social
The Whitehouse needs to get it together.
We know from folks on the ground how this chaotic confusion is endangering our communities. Weโre not backing down.
@gallego.senate.gov please God, donโt let him get confirmed! If so, the future will be a matter of life-and-death for many hardworking, vulnerable Arizonans + Americans
Think your grocery bill is high now? Trump just said heโs going to put a 25% tax on all food and goods from Mexico, hereโs what that means.
Donald Trump is scrubbing critical health information from government websites.
This is staggeringly stupid, anti-science, and will have real consequences.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.
See how it works?
This is dangerous, disgusting & positioning (public) โhealthโ to be a polarizing issue INSTEAD OF A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.
What itโs really communicating to people in the US is: this administration doesnโt give a shit about you or your health & is weaponizing information.
The National Science Foundation's funding freeze, and wider confusion about the status and future of science funding, is already hampering research.
This cannot stand. Donโt be complicit!
