It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

Democrats could write a bill right now that reverses everything in the current GOP bill & run on that. They could take their own "Big Beautiful Bill" to the people & promise to pass it first thing if they regain power. It would be clear to everyone where they stand on those issues. They won't do it.

I will block any arms sale to a nation that is doing direct personal business with Trump. We should have a full Senate debate and vote.
UAE's investment in Trump crypto and Qatar's gifting of a plane is nuclear grade graft. An unacceptable corruption of our foreign policy.

The issue isn't Libya. It wouldn't matter if the destination was Luxembourg or Monaco.
The issue, the PRIMARY issue, is the writ large violation of the constitution of the United States of America by the sitting POTUS and his administration.
That's it.

Yikes. He shared it himself not long ago… and already forgot… Trump now claims he “had nothing to do with” a depiction of himself as the pope, even though it was just posted on his and the White House’s accounts. It was offensive, un-American, and disgraceful and that’s putting it mildly.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.
Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”
Translation: No.
Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
