Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Dems: let’s help the sick & poor
Repubs: let’s help the healthy & wealthy

*Seems like the real headline is Republicans aren’t even trying to repeal Obamacare anymore*

Dispatch from coaching youth basketball… I used to believe in a pretty strict “no threes” philosophy for 3/4 graders. I have since changed my position though. Threes are fun. Kids like chucking them, if one goes in the whole team explodes in joy.

Donald Trump is trying to shut down the CFPB, an agency that has returned $21 billion to Americans who were cheated by big banks and giant corporations.
I joined my fellow @banking.senate.gov to break down what it means for you.
Trump is siding with the scammers. We’re fighting back.
