Donald Trump is one of the weakest, most thin-skinned individuals the world has ever seen. Reporters have the right and duty to report the truth. It’s not their fault his foreign-gifted plane is a national security threat. This subpoena is a gross overreach and a disgusting

Millions of Americans are being crushed by housing costs. Donald Trump called their crisis “a big yawn”—then refused to sign the most significant bipartisan housing bill in decades. His priorities couldn’t be clearer: higher costs for families and more power for himself.

Trump: "I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97% with the Republican Party, and very high

Donald Trump said Republicans should “take over the voting.” Today, he took another step toward doing exactly that. Firing every remaining member of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission months before the midterms is a brazen attempt to seize control of our elections

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment.

Trump’s shameless self-enrichment has turned into a serious national security threat. His rampant, reckless, and rotten corruption comes at a real cost to our safety and Americans’ bank accounts. A year ago, I warned that this $400 million Qatari jet was not simply the largest,

There must be a full, independent, and transparent investigation into the shooting that led to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death. ICE has routinely unleashed chaos and violence on our streets. Democrats will keep fighting for reforms to rein in ICE and end the violence.

Republicans ended the ACA tax credits. The result? A health care affordability crisis with no end in sight. When Democrats take back the Senate, lowering your health care costs will be a top priority.
Obamacare premiums surged this year. A new analysis shows it's likely to happen again in 2027

Donald Trump’s rambling, unhinged, confused performance this morning was an embarrassment to our country on the world stage. Serving as Putin's mouthpiece, undermining our allies, and cheerleading for war — that is Donald Trump’s vision for our country. In November, Americans

Donald Trump’s presidency is defined by destruction, chaos, illegal wars, and rising costs. He never had a serious plan for stopping his war. Senate Democrats remain united in our efforts to end this illegal war immediately and permanently.

Q: Is the ceasefire over? Is the MOU dead? TRUMP: I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. Do you know what scum is? They're led by sick people. They're vicious, violent people. They're liars. They're cuckoo

Trump DOJ’s campaign to subvert the election took another hit today, this time by a Trump-appointed judge. He found that the Trump DOJ’s staggeringly broad subpoena would “chill participation in future elections.” This is an important win. But we know Trump will do whatever he

I will NOT support a Farm Bill that doesn’t protect SNAP funding. A Farm Bill that abandons hungry families is wholly unacceptable.

Happy 250th, America! The founding fathers called America God’s noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideas for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make
