I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Allow me to take this opportunity to compliment Mr. Durbin @durbin.senate.gov on his crystal clear, striking summary of the corrupted current state of affairs of the justice system, yesterday during the Pam Bondi hearing.
Kudos 👌🏼

Please ALWAYS remember that SSDI/SSI & Spouse/Children Survivors in ADDITION to Seniors RECEIVE Social Security Benefits. I hear about it in reporting as Seniors & while they make up the majority of beneficiaries, we count too. It's IMPORTANT to my disability population that we're seen. Thank you.🙏💜

Social Security by Type as of 2023. 75.2% are Seniors/Retirees, 13.1% are people with disabilities and 11.7% are Survivors.

Schumer: There are no negotiations going on. Trump said there were, and we contradicted him. And actually, just a couple of hours ago, even his own press secretary had to refute what he said.

And you know why he’s saying this? He’s feeling the heat.

Schumer: I want to say to Donald Trump, to Johnson, and to Thune: come to the Capitol, sit down in public, and debate us on the health care crisis that’s afflicting Americans.

The public needs to see this.

I spoke with Virginians about how the Republican plan to allow health insurance costs to skyrocket—which would force millions of Americans to lose insurance—would be devastating for families like theirs. I’ll keep fighting every day to find a solution.

California is the 4th largest economy in the world. It’s time it and other blue states used their economic clout to fight Trump’s agenda.

Graphic that shows Republicans absent when needing to vote on the Epstein files or prevent a shutdown, but celebrating when cutting taxes for billionaires.

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.
