I'm proud to join @sanders.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov and others in cosponsoring the Social Security Expansion Act, which would fully fund Social Security for the next 75 years.

The insane budget resolution passed by House Republicans isn’t just a huge giveaway to billionaires; it also threatens the stability of Social Security.

Trump hasn't done a lick to address rising grocery costs despite campaigning to bring them down on "day one."
And his CDC deleted reports on the spread of bird flu, which is driving up egg prices.
But don't worry, he just promised an executive order to bring back plastic straws.
