Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

We owe unwavering support to 9/11 survivors and first responders. I'm proud to join Senator Gillibrand, Senator Schumer, and my NY colleagues in fighting to fund the WTCHP in perpetuity. Supporting these heroes should never be partisan. No 9/11 survivors should worry about health care.

NEW: So today in DOGE order just went out that all civilian DOD credit cards are immediately frozen/can't be used. This applies to people who are in the midst of DOD official travel. So maybe you're in Albania and your credit card just stopped working. Or maybe you're on travel from ...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
