Wyden: "We have the CBO, which is really the gold standard of objectivity, saying that 100% of the cost savings in the Republican proposal come from terminating coverage, cutting benefits like home care, or reducing payments to providers. I don't think that's a prescription for much good in America"

Trump's Social Security nominee just lied to the Finance Committee, claiming he hasn't been involved in any DOGE plans to gut Social Security. My office has a whistleblower that says otherwise. We brought the receipts.

WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock?
DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question
WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itβs not intellectually superior. Itβs the virus theyβre trying to infect us with. NO

China burning more coal doesnβt change the fact that they also want to dominate clean energy -- specifically by ripping off American jobs and innovations. Theyβve done it before in solar manufacturing.

If you aren't at the table, you're on the menu. Republicans are considering health care cuts to pay for tax breaks for the rich. Finance staff break down what that means for everyday Americans. Spoiler alert, it's not great π
