Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/neNTKB4h

I took this picture during a previous meeting with Zelensky. This man is what courage and leadership actually look like.

That is one face of courage and leadership. Yours is another, Senator Heinrich.

Time and again, Ms. Gabbard has elevated conspiracy theories, parroted dictators’ talking points, and repeatedly undermined our country’s national security. Her poor judgment and lack of national security experience make her wholly unqualified to keep Americans safe as our Director of National Intelligence. Ms. Gabbard’s responses during her nomination hearing made this clear, refusing to call Edward Snowden a traitor and, in response to my questions, falsely denying knowledge of comments by a Syrian cleric she met with in 2017 who threatened to unleash suicide bombers in the United States. 

Put plainly, Tulsi Gabbard is a national security risk. She appears to trust information from every other source but the Intelligence Community. Yet as the Director of National Intelligence, she would be entrusted with providing the most sensitive intelligence to the president and determining what intelligence to share with our allies. 

As I continue to carry out my constitutional duty, I will remain vigilant to ensure that every nominee is properly vetted and has the qualifications to serve.

Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has seized the private information of millions of people in the U.S., including Social Security numbers.

We're not going to stand for it.

We're at the Treasury Building alongside leaders and allies in demanding oversight and accountability for this hostile takeover.

Today, I rallied with my colleagues outside the Treasury Department to STOP Elon Musk's government takeover.

They didn't let us in the building because they don’t want YOU to know what they’re doing in there. We won't give up until they take their hands off taxpayers' money.

Opinion | Trump’s Energy Policy is Full of Contradictions — on Purpose His executive orders ultimately seek to make the market for oil and gas as big as possible.

"He [Trump] is bent on expanding fossil fuel demand, everywhere, at any cost."

Trump's single-minded obsession with fossil fuels and efforts to ban clean energy will be devastating for our environment AND wallets.

Trump is trying to force us to use fossil fuels — even if we have to pay the price.

What a useful research area, congratulations to your student! I hope it is inspiration for sensible outcomes. The value of this kind of forward thinking was brought home this last week by the snow storms in the east, and terrible fires in the west.
