We could be lowering the cost of health care, but instead Trump is spending BILLIONS on his reckless war with Iran.
Trump is blowing YOUR taxpayer dollars on war & causing gas prices to spike while he's at it.
Did you see Ilana's story on the Pitt? Too many survivors of rape are turned away from hospitals that don't provide rape kits because there aren't enough nurses like Dana.
I wrote & passed into law resources to train more staff to treat survivors and help them get justice.
Meanwhile, Trump says if prices "rise, they rise" and Americans dying is “just the way it is.”
The American people did not vote for this. They do not support it. War is a last resort—not a game for Trump to play. Congress must put an end to this.
What the hell.
We've gone from "this isn't a war" and it's not about regime change to "wars can be fought forever" and will be fought until unconditional surrender and Trump personally picks Iran's leadership.
British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.
There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.
Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.
If Republicans are going to waste time deposing Hillary Clinton, it's well past time Congress gets some answers out of President Trump.
This man was a close friend of Epstein, he was found civilly liable of sexual assault, and his name appears in the files more than 38k times.
Gas prices: spiking
Grocery prices: up
Health care premiums: doubled
Jobs: lost
This is Trump's "Golden Age" where YOU pay more and he lines his pockets.
Trump promised to deliver Americans: "lower prices" and "no new wars."
When it comes to broken promises—it does not get more blatant than that.
And it's costing you, literally.
Republicans have decided they would rather shut down DHS than work with us to rein in CBP & ICE.
Republicans know full well that Democrats want to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and cyber security. I tried to pass a bill to do just that today—and Republicans blocked it!
A reporter asked me what Trump was thinking when he fired Kristi Noem.
I have NO idea what is going through that man's head—I just know no one will miss her.
Two Americans were shot and killed on her watch. We need accountability and reform.
History will remember Kristi Noem for her corruption and the sheer cruelty & chaos she unleashed on our streets.
Good riddance, but Congress should not tolerate more of the same from whoever comes next.
We need accountability and reform for ICE and Border Patrol.
BREAKING: I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA as Democrats push for common sense reforms to protect Americans from being killed by untrained and masked DHS agents.
Guess what? Republicans BLOCKED it.
War is not some game. Our troops are not toy soldiers. Civilian casualties are not nothing.
NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
NO WAR WITH IRAN.
I just voted to END Trump's war with Iran.
America should not sacrifice the lives of our servicemembers or billions in taxpayer dollars in another forever war.
NO WAR.
Our country does not want more Americans killed because of a reckless President that a Republican Congress refused to check.
I just voted to END this war with Iran, and I urge my colleagues to join me.
Trump has no problem sending other people's kids off to war. But you know what he does have a problem with?
Picking up the tab when they come home.
We don't need a forever war with Iran, we need more nurses and doctors at the VA.
War should be the last resort.
Democrats will keep fighting to lowering costs for working families ahead of starting costly, unnecessary wars.
Trump sent our servicemembers into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida.
With no clear objectives or any sense of an endgame.
And without any authorization from Congress—no public hearings, no justification to the American people.
I will vote to end this war.
Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits.
Republicans are telling the American people—there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks.
Just never any money for health care or families here at home.
I am not going to vote to cut a blank check for ICE and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for.
Trump sent our kids into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida.
Americans do not want another endless, costly war in the Middle East. They want health care and lower prices.
Not only is Trump costing taxpayers billions and risking American lives for a war of choice—he has also failed to adequately prepare for the evacuation of American civilians in the region.
A disaster and failure of catastrophic consequence.
It is obscene to suggest that we are going to fight Trump's war of choice "FOREVER."
Congress must vote to end this immediately. NO WAR WITH IRAN.
There was no immediate threat from Iran, and there is still no clear objective.
Congress must immediately vote to end Trump's war with Iran.
Republicans need to grow a spine and vote with Democrats to put an END to Trump's war with Iran.
The American people want Congress to focus on lowering prices. They want their tax dollars going toward health care, not another costly and deadly war in the Middle East.
No. American soldiers dying in an unjustified war of choice is NOT just "the way it is."
This is a disgraceful way to talk about the cost of war.
This is no Commander in Chief.
The notion that Democrats must now help Republicans cut a blank check for ICE because Trump started a war with Iran that no one asked for is as cynical & absurd as it gets.
Democrats want to protect America's national security AND protect Americans from an out-of-control DHS.
If Trump won't rule out boots on the ground, then Congress needs to.
NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND. NO WAR WITH IRAN.
No war with Iran.
There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective.
I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.
My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the servicemembers we’ve lost as well as those who are seriously wounded.
The cost of war is real and devastating. I hope my colleagues will keep that in mind.
