Mifepristone is a safe and effective abortion medication that has been used by millions of people since the FDA approved it more than a quarter century ago. (1/3)

“Trump’s video-game war “excursion” has turned a dying clerical regime into a tight-knit military regime that has now tasted the enormous power of controlling the Strait of Hormuz.” (Credit Sidney Blumenthal)

We should all be paying attention to what this means. Getting rid of Roe wasn’t the end game and they will go further. Anti choice extremists in state legislatures are teaming up with allies on the federal bench to take your freedom to control the course of your life.

BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill. This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook. Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective. We must fight back.

On May Day, we recognize the enduring role that labor unions and workers have played in building a strong middle class in America. Through solidarity and collective action, they fought for and won fair wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces.

It was great to visit Boulder Crest Foundation in Bluemont to learn how they support and build resilience among veterans, servicemembers, law enforcement, and other first responders. I’m glad I helped secure $1 million in funding to expand their programs to VA law enforcement officers.

Most people who have an abortion use mifepristone. Blocking access to it isn’t about safety—it’s about control. We won’t stop fighting until everyone can get the care they need, no matter where they live.

Doctors — not judges — should be the ones providing medical advice to women. Mifepristone has been safely used for years. This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand.

Prediction markets have become a hotbed for corruption in this administration & have even become a national security risk. This was the right move to ensure Senators and their staff don't enrich themselves with insider information. White House should follow suit!

Claiming that hostilities have ceased while the U.S. Navy is actively blocking Iranian-linked maritime traffic in the Strait is expected but obvious bullshit from a Commander in Chief who has no plan and continues to hide his incompetence behind the valor of our troops.

We won't let this stand. Mifepristone is safe and FDA approved. This decision would impact women across the country, even in states where we’ve protected abortion access.

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Week in and week out, I’m voting to end this painful war in Iran. Americans want action on health care, energy, and housing costs, not another forever war.

Today is 60 days since President Trump launched his reckless war in Iran. Under the War Powers Resolution, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days without congressional authorization — which we have not granted.

This is a farce. Trump continues to blockade the Strait of Hormuz which is an act of WAR. This is just another attempt to make an end-run around Congress. No self-respecting Republican should believe this & if they do they are making even more of a mockery of their duties.

Americans have seen their insurance premiums climb up and up and up. Families can’t afford yet another jacked up cost in Trump’s economy. A new report shows just how deep the problem is – and how the insurance industry is part of the problem.

Firing an education oversight official who refuses to give in to the Department’s pressure is Trump’s Dept. of Education’s latest intimidation tactic. We must end the brazen politicization of a bipartisan and independent committee.

Trump’s claim “hostilities have terminated” is absurd—another false distraction in a war of delusion. He’s trying to avoid the clear legal obligation that he seek Congressional approval after 60 days. The blockade itself is a continuing act of war plus other ongoing hostilities.

I asked Pete Hegseth if he's laying the groundwork to reverse the policy on women in combat. He didn't say no, then began rambling about "the highest male standard." His overt misogyny is an insult to the sacrifice of the MILLIONS of women who serve and have served our country.

As prices are skyrocketing, another 120,000 Illinoisans lose their SNAP benefits today. Donald Trump and Republicans ripped away these benefits that help families, seniors and Veterans keep food on the table. And now they're illegally spending billions on an unwanted war.
