    This deal shows that strong fuel economy standards are still feasible, achievable & absolutely necessary for consumers & the climate. The states want strong standards, the auto companies want strong standards & the Trump admin needs to get out of the way.

    There are 36,000+ gun deaths in the US on average each year. If those deaths were from any disease it would be a public health crisis & that’s how we should treat gun violence. We need to fund research at NIH+CDC b/c the causes of gun violence in order to reduce it.

    The evidence in the Mueller report and the Special Counsel’s testimony reaffirming it compel Congress to do what is right and necessary. And that is to exercise our authority and begin an impeachment proceeding against Donald Trump. Nothing less than our democracy is at stake.

    The evidence that Donald Trump obstructed justice is overwhelming. Every day he remains in office tears at the fabric of our democracy. It is time to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

    If the reports are true, it would be violation of UN Security Council resolutions. And Trump, who confirmed this week that no working-level talks are ongoing, has been engaging in summitry with nothing to show for it. is trying to pressure us into a bad deal.

    And we can’t let Trump launch another disastrous Middle East war. At today’s Senate Foreign Relations hearing, I made clear that Congress must have a say before our men and women risk their lives to protect us from the threats amplified by Trump’s mistakes.

    The Trump admin is rewriting history to cover for its failed Iran policy. Nov. 2018: asserts the Iranians won’t restart their nuclear program if we violate the deal. Jul. 2019: As Iran does that, he falsely claims Iran was working on its nuclear program all along.

    On the same day Mueller makes clear (again) that Russia interfered in our election on behalf of Donald Trump, the FTC lets Facebook off with a slap on the wrist for its work with Cambridge Analytica, a firm working to *influence our elections* on behalf of Trump w/ pilfered data.

    It is the largest fine in FTC history — and yet still only about a month’s worth of revenue for Facebook.

    Facebook does not have to admit any fault as a result of this settlement. It doesn’t have to limit the amount of data it collects. It still gets to move forward with its Libra cryptocurrency. This outcome is an insult to consumers.

    A $5 billion fine may appear large, but it amounts to a slap on the wrist in comparison to the revenue that Facebook rakes in.

    Those who argue that this penalty will impact Facebook’s bottom line have already been proven wrong. Facebook’s stock went up after it was reported earlier this year that it would be fined $5 billion by the FTC, making Mark Zuckerberg $1 billion richer.

    With its settlement with , the not only fell short, it fell on its face. Facebook is getting away with some of the most egregious corporate bad behavior in the age of the internet. This settlement is a partisan abdication of the FTC’s duty.

    America should never forget the sacrifices of these brave first responders, and the 9/11 victims’ fund should never run out of money. Proud to vote for this bill that will help ensure that our gratitude for these heroes isn’t only symbolic.

    BREAKING: Senate approves bill ensuring Sept. 11 victims' fund never runs out of money. The 97-2 vote sends the bill to President Trump, who is expected to sign it.
