@CoryBooker It’s Congress and your being beholden to lobbyists. Fix the code! Scrap the code and replace it with the Fair tax! It’s YOUR ROLE, asshole.
Our tax system is broken and it’s unfair. The wealthiest Americans pay effective rates under 10%, while working families carry 25, 30, even 40%. Enough.
Close the loopholes and raise the standard deduction to $75,000 so hard working Americans keep more of their pay.
President Trump has been saying the quiet part out loud: he wants to undermine our elections any way he can, and he refuses to rule out sending uniformed military to the polls or to collect ballots and voting machines.
That's why today I am introducing the Protect our Polls Act. Our legislation prevents President Trump from weaponizing our military and armed federal officers to interfere in our elections.
I am glad to be joined by Senators from across the country, especially states like Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota and Wisconsin which, along with Michigan, the president has targeted. All states that may very well decide who controls the House and Senate.
@BernieSanders The people that you have mentioned have made thousands of new millionaires through their efforts in their businesses. You on the other hand, Bernie, have made one person a millionaire - yourself!
THE INSANELY RIGGED ECONOMY
Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer.
Incredibly, since Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, these 7 men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, have become more than $1.5 trillion richer and are now collectively worth over $2.8 trillion. Meanwhile, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any other wealthy nation, young adults have a lower standard of living than their parents and over 20% of our seniors are trying to survive on an annual income of $15,000 a year or less.
Yes. We are living in an oligarchy.
A Good Day for Trump’s Friends:
Yesterday, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, got $164.8 billion richer and is now worth $1.4 trillion. He’s worth $1.1 trillion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Larry Page, the second wealthiest man in the world, gained $7.61 billion in wealth and is now worth $314 billion. He’s worth $161 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Sergey Brin, the third richest man in the world, got $7.01 billion richer and is now worth $292 billion. He’s worth $148 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Jeff Bezos, the fourth richest man in the world, gained $6.96 billion in wealth and is now worth $267 billion. He’s worth $46 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Larry Ellison, the fifth wealthiest man in the world, gained $8.92 billion in wealth and is now worth $247 billion. He’s worth $63 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Michael Dell, the sixth richest man in the world, got $5.86 billion richer and is now worth $218 billion. He’s worth $101 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg, the seventh richest man in the world, gained $9.16 billion in wealth and is now worth $211 billion. He’s worth $8 billion more than on Election Day.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”
The House should serve as a check and balance on an out of control executive branch.
Republicans have behaved like wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Trump cartel.
Vote them all out in November.
With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.
Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor.
Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails.
My wealth tax would level the playing field.
Let's get it done.
How much does President Trump’s war in Iran cost? We owe it to the American people to be honest about what the actual cost of this war will be, and what we will have to sacrifice.
ICE is kidnapping our immigrant neighbors, and press conferences or statements won’t cut it. We need real action.
That’s why I’m leading the fight to abolish ICE, introduced the bill to un-mask ICE, sued ICE to oversee detention centers, and built a triage center that’s freed 44 immigrant New Yorkers (and counting). #NY10Debate
@harryjsisson Do a bit of research on the grift to Ms. Newscum. CA is a mess and the Guv and his wife should answer to someone. You weren’t concerned a bit by the legal actions against Trump, were you??
Trump can’t win fairly so he continues to baselessly investigate his political opponents. I stand with Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Every American should. MAGA is scared of them.
@SenAdamSchiff Why should people who came to our great country ILLEGALLY have a “paid pathway to citizenship”? Children? Maybe some status but save “citizenship” for those whe EARN IT!
The administration says we can afford $70 billion more for ICE and Border Patrol. So why can't we afford to process work applications for DACA recipients? Or a path to citizenship?
Here's the thing: of course we can.
@RightScopee No outrage at all! How many people does @elonmusk employ? How much do his companies benefit our great country? I’ll bet this stranded astronauts are praising the Lord for Mr. Musk’s companies!
Are you deeply outraged that, while hundreds of millions of Americans and I are struggling financially, Elon Musk has now become the world's first trillionaire, with more wealth than he could spend in 1,000 lifetimes?
A. YES
B. NO
@CoryBooker Book-man, my thought is Trump has always put THE COUNTRY and THE PEOPLE ahead of POLITICS! You are so full of HATE you can’t see the truth.
Trump's own first-term national security leaders warned us: re-elect him, and he'd put politics ahead of the safety of our nation. That's exactly what's unfolding.
Trump is appointing loyalists instead of people with the national security experience that the job of keeping Americans safe demands.
This corruption puts the American people in danger.
@RepSchneider So, you have a serious case of TDS? I’m sure you know that the $60 million is not “taxpayer funded”. What causes you to spew 💩 like this?
President Trump is spending $60 million of your money for a taxpayer-funded birthday party for himself! That’s more than $13,000 for each person attending!
These are Donald Trump’s priorities while families across the nation struggle to pay for groceries, gas, and rent.

@Gianl1974 To meet the POTUS (any POTUS) is the chance of a lifetime. I used to like to watch the NBA - haven’t for a long time. This is only one reason. Do y’all think anyone cares about political opinions of athletes or entertainers?
🚨 JUST IN: No DC trip for the champs. The New York Knicks are skipping the traditional White House visit after bringing the Larry O'Brien trophy back to the Mecca. Rumor has it the squad is blaming President Donald Trump for ruining their perfect series run when he attended Game 3-the Knicks' only loss.
Trumps an insult to sports and sportsmanship PERIOD! He’s also a racist, sexist bigot that could care less about the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc.
The scumbag was sleeping at the one game he crashed and hexed for narcissistic attention!
Only to be booed and distract, disturb and piss off the entire city of NY and beyond.
So what??! Go see this racist for some MacDonalds fast food while Trump spends 100’s of millions of dollars on some bullsh*t for his birthday and wants to reward $1.7 billion for his white nationalist 1/6 terrorist lol 😂
Uhhh 🤔 I’m a multimillionaire NBA player? I think I’ll skip the Mickey D’s from a tacky lowlife criminal hate mongering abomination.
Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo
@harryjsisson Are you sure he’s not right? “F**k Trump?” How mature of you 😂😂. I was looking forward to reading how happy you were about the Iran peace deal! Fat chance of that, Sissy!
@CAgovernor@realDonaldTrump That post from a governor who provides over the biggest shit show in the country. You have ruined an absolutely beautiful state.
@snowyxq1 Iran would do what with nukes?
She had 4 years to disclose Epstein files.
Destroyed the White House? The Ballroom will provide a safe venue for generations to come!
Is that all you’ve got?
She would not have bombed Iran.
She would not have prevented the release of the Epstein files.
She would not have abandoned the fundamental rights of citizens.
She would not have destroyed the White House.
She wouldn't have done everything Trump did.
Did you think all this is true?
What are your thoughts?
@SenJeffMerkley None of the $60 million is being funded by taxpayers. It’s all being funded by the UFC. Can you do nothing but lie to support your TDS bullshit?
Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. cnn.com/2026/06/09/pol…
