An unelected billionaire should not have access to Americans’ personal data.

Elon Musk & DOGE are threatening our national security with their recklessness.

For years, I’ve called for making high-quality generic drugs here at home so we’re not reliant on foreign countries for access to medication.

Called Gabe Evans today and asked why he hates his constituents

Will be figuring out the best way to call him and record myself at the same time - so it’s ALL public record 🥳🇺🇸

GABE, WHERE ARE YOU?

US Rep. Jeff Hurd, of Grand Junction, tells me he likes a lot of what he sees from DOGE-- especially cuts to DEI programs. Meanwhile, Hurd can't say how many federal workers have lost or left their jobs in his district, but there are some he wishes hadn't.

Republicans on the Energy & Commerce Committee just voted against my amendment to examine how Elon’s mass firings hurt HHS’s ability to protect public health.

Gutting the department that protects our health puts all of us at risk.

Without their knowledge & resources, we will all pay the price.

I was glad to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron to the Senate this week.

The U.S.-France alliance has long been one of shared democratic values. We must continue working with France and our global allies to support Ukraine’s brave fight against Putin's aggression.

Gabe Evans has the chance to be one of three Republicans who can vote NO to kill the GOP’s cuts to Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. We rallied outside of his office to demand he does the right thing for 73,000 CD8 constituents on Medicaid, not his billionaire backers. #copolitics

Stand for something. Voters don’t want a Diet Coke version of the GOP, if your top issues are deporting migrants or deregulation of businesses you’re not voting blue. We must return to our traditional base, let’s champion the working class and stand up to corporate bullies.

Constituents of CD-8 are demanding answers from Congressman Gabe Evans, so far he has provided none.

Sad to say that my representative has aligned himself with the oligarchs, happy to report that CD-8 residents won’t stand for it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
