Donald Trump cut health care for Americans so that Meta could get a $3 billion tax cut. I asked the IRS commissioner if that was a "really good outcome for the American public." He said yes.

Two economic facts: Trump promised the greatest economy ever but the Michigan Consumer Sentiment is the lowest in its 74 year history. He promised to bring prices down but prices are up. Inflation is up from 3% to 3.3%.

🇭🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 NO CONFUSION ON WHO STARTED THIS "The responsibility for the war lies with Russia, which violated international law by invading Ukraine... Ukraine “has the full right to defend its sovereignty and cannot be forced to cede territory.”"- Peter Magyar 🇭🇺 This cuts through the noise. There’s no gray zone here, one side crossed the border with force, the other is holding ground. Forcing territorial concessions doesn’t end wars cleanly, it freezes them. You get a pause, not stability, and the next round usually comes harder. Ukraine giving up land under pressure would signal that sustained military force works. That’s a dangerous precedent across multiple regions, not just Eastern Europe. So the logic stays simple. Hold the line now, or deal with a bigger conflict later.

Sen. DURBIN: In a 20 year period of time, think about all the possibilities of voter fraud. How many do you think? 7 million? No. 700,000? No. 70,000? No. 700? No. It’s 77 people in 20 years.

Russia lost the right to decide Ukraine’s future the moment it tried to destroy it. ㅤ After invading a sovereign country, annexing territory, and unleashing the biggest war in Europe since World War II, Moscow does not get a veto over Ukraine’s security. More than 30 countries are already backing Ukraine militarily, long-term aid is being built into future frameworks, and Ukraine’s forces are already moving deeper into NATO-standard defense systems. As Finland’s President Alexander Stubb put it, “Russia has absolutely no say in the sovereign decisions of an independent nation state.” Whether Moscow agrees, he added, is “not the point.” ㅤ An aggressor does not get to write the rules after trying to erase its victim. ㅤ

Sen. Warren: The rich are having a field day. Thanks to Donald Trump, corporations paid $65 billion less in taxes last year. Meta alone saved $3 billion. Amazon saved over $4 billion. That $65 billion would have been enough money to extend the ACA tax credits three times over.

BREAKING: Congressman Lloyd Doggett just exposed Donald Trump and RFK Jr. for pardoning more healthcare fraudsters than any Administration in American history. Wow.

It is way past time to impeach Sec. Hegseth. He has waged an illegal war in the Middle East, violated international law, illegally invaded Venezuela, targeted civilians in the Caribbean, endangered our service members, fired distinguished generals, and misappropriated billions of federal taxpayer dollars. It’s time for him to go! And we grateful to @RepYassAnsari for leading the way! No one is above the law.

Hey Republicans; He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing. He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing. He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing. He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing. He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing. His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing. He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing. He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing. You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them. And it’s only been a year. Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember? Not to him. To the Constitution. It’s time to do your fucking jobs!

Republicans called it the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” As a reminder, here’s what it actually does. $1 trillion cut from Medicaid. $1 trillion in tax cuts for the top 1%. That’s the math from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. 10 million Americans are projected to lose health coverage. 4.7 million will lose food assistance. The poorest families in this country will see their incomes go down, not up, once you account for what gets taken away. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% get an average tax cut of more than $50,000 a year, every year, for a decade. Republicans claim they’re helping working people with tips and overtime deductions. Those provisions expire in 2028. The tax cuts for millionaires are permanent. This bill is a disgrace. #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn cbsnews.com/news/gas-price…

This is great news! James Talarico raises record-breaking $27 million in the first quarter for Senate bid in the deep red state of Texas. They have not elected a democratic senator in 35 years! Will Talarico, the Pastor of Light, be running against Ken Paxton, the Prince of Darkness? 💙🙏💙 texastribune.org/2026/04/15/jam…

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.

At the core of Russia’s war against Ukraine is a false claim – that Ukraine does not exist, that it is allegedly a part of Russia. This is not just about history. Not just politics or ideology. It is the basis of their goal – to erase Ukraine completely. And not only Ukraine. Russia has openly, repeatedly said it wants to control all its neighbors. It wants to decide what security in Europe should look like – and whether it should exist at all. Russia has carried its war ideas as far as Syria and Africa. This is a truly global threat. It matters that many in the world see it exactly this way – as a global threat. From my address to the participants of the Four Freedoms Awards ceremony (2/3).

Trump gave two huge tax cuts to billionaires. Like Bush before him. And Reagan before him. The billionaire class is out of control, and a reasonable tax on fortunes over $1 billion is long overdue.

Today in Ukraine is another very hard day, really hard night – the day after a massive Russian attack. In just one night, there were nearly 300 attack drones, 19 ballistic missiles, as well as cruise missiles. Air-raid sirens sounded across many of our cities. And this came after waves of “shaheds” had filled our skies just yesterday. Dozens of people have been injured. And sadly, so sadly, there are also lives lost in Odesa, Kyiv, in Dnipro. Just ordinary people, children, civilians, killed by Russian madness. If it’s possible, please, I ask you now to honor their memory, and all those whose lives have been taken by this terrible war, with a minute of silence. Thank you. From my address to the participants of the Four Freedoms Awards ceremony (1/3).

Watching the victory lap on our blockade of the blockade is something to behold. We moved the goalposts, downgraded to “skinny goals,” and now Trump is packaging that as a huge win. We asked Iran for 20 years of no enrichment and they’re offering 5. Our time is spent containing a crisis we helped create in the first place. And the messaging? All over the place. One minute their nuclear program is “obliterated,” the next it’s weeks away from multiple bombs. Which is it? And if we walk away now, we’re not getting regime change—we’re leaving behind a more hardened, more extreme leadership than before.

What Trump promised: "I'll end Russia's war in Ukraine in 24 hours if you elect me." What Trump did: "I tried to force Ukraine to capitulate and give Russia everything they want. When that didn't work I ended all financial support to Ukraine, lifted sanctions of Russia, rolled out the red carpet for Putin, and doubled oil prices so Russia can have more money to continue the war."

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Former U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton: "It is shocking that Trump said no one informed him that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz. I find it unbelievable that one of the fundamental pillars of geopolitical strategy in the Middle East was ignored. That was the first thing we assumed Iran would do. It is their main tool of global leverage. We are now seeing the consequences of a foreign policy driven by impulse rather than strategy.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The only problem is that they think the Russians are winning this war. But they're wrong. This isn't the first time the Americans have been wrong about the Russians. I say this openly. They say: 'guarantees can only be given when the war ends and we leave Donbas.' What difference does it make who's demanding them? If those are the demands. We're not idiots. We're adults. We understand what this message means. So, the US will provide guarantees when the war ends, and the war will end when you leave Donbas. Where am I wrong? Who's lying?

Pam Bondi refused to show up for today’s Oversight deposition — defying our lawful subpoena. We couldn’t care less that she was fired from her job as Attorney General. She is responsible for leading the White House cover-up of the Epstein files. Since she didn’t show up, Oversight Democrats will move to hold her in contempt of Congress. The survivors deserve justice — and we will get answers. Enough is enough.
