Today is Earth Day! Trump/GOPβs war of choice in Iran is a GLOBAL DISASTER! American families are suffering from Trump/GOPβs war with skyrocketing gas costs! Instead of Trump/GOP going to clean energy that would lower costs for USA, Trump/GOP, oil companies & billionaires are profiting from the war!
RFK Jr: "I have nothing to do with the measles outbreak here"
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
HASSAN: Does the president know about your self-promoting videos using official HHS resources?
RFK Jr: I didn't know about a number of those videos. I just happened to not see them.
HASSAN: So you don't know how your own team is managing official resources?
WARREN: So those massive discounts--
RFK Jr: Massive. 600 percent
WARREN: 600 percent! They can pay hundreds of dollars on TrumpRx or they can get it for $12 as Costco
TINA SMITH: Secretary Kennedy, a trillion dollars in cuts according to the CBO, 7 million people losing their health insurance because of the Trump administration. That's not debatable
RFK Jr: There is nobody legally enrolled in Medicaid who is losing coverage
SMITH: That is just not true!
OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying
WHAT?!?!
Yay, Senator Bennet! Give `im hell, Senator! πππͺ
BENNET: You said the outbreak has nothing to do. You're the head of the HHS!
RFK Jr: I have no jurisdiction over other countries
BENNET: I agree. But everybody here believes the United States ought to be leading in these matters. That's why we're so discouraged by your cuts to NIH.
SARA EISEN: The president is just expressing what he wants in terms of monetary policy
ELIZABETH WARREN: I'm sorry. Is that real? You think it's not different to say 'here's how I read the numbers' and being the president and employing the DOJ to bring criminal charges against someone?
Trump is a vicious racist! He brands every person of color β and especially women β as "low IQ."
And Trump's supporters encourage him!
Happy Earth Day!
We all share a responsibility to protect our environment by reducing pollution, lowering emissions, and preserving the Chesapeake Bay. Iβll keep fighting to protect our planet and our communities through my work on @epw.senate.gov
Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.
The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.
By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.
My exclusive interview with @pressley.house.gov after the historic passage of her discharge petition to extend temporary protected status to 350,000 Haitians for another three years.

𧦠Warren said "having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself, his family and his Wall Street buddies."
Asked whether he would indeed be the president's sock puppet, Warsh said: "Absolutely not." π

Q: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log in
PATEL: Survey -- how many of you people believe that's true?
Q: Did you communicate that you thought you were fired?
PATEL: It never happened. You are lying.
Q: The lawsuit says the opposite!
Sen. Joni Ernst: "He is the president of peace"
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks β while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
Vaccines save lives. Flu outbreaks threaten military readiness. But this Administration clearly doesnβt care.
This Administration's junk science is jeopardizing the health of our troops and our national security. Shameful.
Look at this chart.
Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.
States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).
I hope Gov. Hochul does.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has done heroic work to defend individuals whose Constitutional rights are at risk.
No wonder the most anti-Constitutional regime in American history feels threatened. They should.
If there was ever a time NOT to keep your head down, this is it. Why aren't more saying, "No"?

Live news update announces that VA passed redistricting in their special election.
VA passed redistricting! πππ This is what democracy looks like.

When Trump talked about ushering in a "new golden age," he was talking about a new golden age for his family's pocketbook.
Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"
Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... "
His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.
RUIZ: Bloomberg reports that Trump & the WH have benched you because you're making the president look bad
RFK Jr: That's not true
RUIZ: I think the reporting is correct. You're making the president look bad. You talked publicly about snorting cocaine off a toilet bowl seat. Your words, not mine.
