Iβm tired of seeing seniors tricked into signing up for for-profit healthcare plans that they think are Medicare. The Save Medicare Act will put a stop to it.

FACT: Since 1989, the U.S. economy has added about 51 million jobs. Roughly 50 million of those new jobs were under Democratic presidents.

Question for my followers: what would you like to see those billions go towards?
Trump doesnβt seem to be doing very well at the whole βcreating American jobsβ thing.
Iβve been fighting for these basic checks and balances for years and will continue to defend our Constitution.
Today, I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution. The Constitution is clear: only Congress has the power to declare war.
The American people are tired of presidents abusing their power by spending billions of our taxpayer dollars on unnecessary wars without congressional approval.
I just voted to stop the war in Iran.
Byeeee!
Letβs be clear: Medicare Advantage is not Medicare.
Medicare Advantage is private insurance that too often denies medically necessary care, restricts providers, and overcharges taxpayers by billions.
Seniors deserve transparency and access to the full benefits they've earned.
Trump is spending a BILLION dollars a day on an illegal war, while cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of Americans.
According to Trump and Congressional Republicans, money isnβt an issue for war, only for helping Americans survive.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump started a war with Iran. The same guy who is really, really upset he didnβt get a Nobel Peace Prize.
So much to unpack. For the latest episode of my podcast, I spoke with @mattduss.bsky.social with @cipolicy.bsky.social, an expert on foreign policy in the Middle East.
Iβm reintroducing the Save Medicare Act with @khanna.house.gov and @schakowsky.house.gov, which will ban private insurers from using "Medicare" in their plansβ names. (2/2)
We don't allow banks to call themselves the U.S. Treasury Investment Fund. We don't allow anyone to call themselves USPS Plus.
So why allow insurance companies to call private insurance Medicare Advantage? (1/2)
Here's what I'm able to share from yesterday's classified briefing.
$1 TRILLION+ isnβt enough?
More than half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. The system is rigged against working people and we need serious change.
A new golden ballroom or a war with Iran wonβt do a damn thing.

The American people do NOT want war with Iran!
Heading to DC, ready to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war with Iran!
American service members are dying in an unnecessary war with no clear objective, and Trump openly admits there will be more casualties. Awful.
I will be voting YES on @khanna.house.gov and Rep. Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war with Iran.
Nearly every single problem our nation faces today is made worse by the massive amounts of untraceable corporate money in our politics. Americans agree, we need to end Citizens United!
In March, we celebrate Womenβs History Month, a month dedicated to honoring trailblazing women and the many contributions women have made to our society.
Iβm honored to serve alongside two of these trailblazers, Senator Baldwin and Representative Gwen Moore.
Today is βHIV is not a Crime Day.β Laws that criminalize people for just living with HIV or AIDS are un-American and must be revisited to ensure we're actually protecting the public's health and those living with HIV & AIDS.
Last night, Donald Trump put American troops in harms way without Congressional authority. He is liable for every drop of blood spilled. Congress must immediately vote on a War Powers Resolution to end this illegal war before Trump destabilizes the entire region.
In 2028, will MAGA release its new slogan, "Sometimes you need to be treaded on?" Find out on Pardon the Incumbent with @jburstofa.bsky.social

Today is the 75th anniversary of the 22nd Amendment, limiting presidents to ONLY two terms. It exists for a reason, especially when hunger for power starts to outweigh respect for our Constitution.
Honored to receive a perfect score from @lcv.org on environmental issues.
In Congress, I will always fight for:
β
Clean energy investments
β
Clean air & water
β
Our public lands
