Limit oversight of wealthy tax cheats.
Save billions in giveaways for Big Oil.
Grow everyday costs for hardworking Americans who have to foot the bill.

It really shows you who they value.

There’s a serious youth mental health crisis in this country. And we’re doing something about it.

Ramadan is a time for Muslims to slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters most – and then carry those lessons into the rest of the year.

In that spirit, let's look ahead to the work that remains to ensure everyone has the rights and dignity they deserve. pic.twitter.com/adnlERSFd9

Two tweets:

For too long, Big Oil has made huge profits and failed to invest those back into production.

It's time we end special tax treatment for oil and gas company investments, saving the taxpayer over $30 billion in the process.

That's what my budget does.

I think there's a better way.

Let's cut wasteful spending on Big Pharma – building on our work to expand Medicare's ability to negotiate for lower drug prices.
