Trump has no idea what he’s talking about. I’ve hiked these lands—they are accessible to everyone and belong to us all. Trump is trying to sell them off to the highest bidder.

This regime has no problem sending women service members into harm's way. Five have already made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump's illegal war with Iran. So women are good enough to serve. Good enough to sacrifice. But not good enough to be promoted? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

Four years ago, the PACT Act became law to help deliver critical care and benefits to veterans exposed to toxic substances. Virginia is home to one of the nation's largest veteran communities, and I'll always fight for them. Learn more at VA.gov/PACT.

Donald Trump got us into an illegal war, is losing his illegal war, and has no way out of his illegal war. His lack of strategy, discipline, and any ability to seriously negotiate is endangering our troops and raising prices for everyday Americans.

Recent cyberattacks by hostile foreign powers have exposed unacceptable risks to America’s water systems. But federal law doesn’t allow the EPA to set minimum standards for cyber protections at our water utilities, or even get reports on cybersecurity practices or incidents.

Olivia Rodrigo is right—medication abortion is under attack. It’s wrong that young women like her have fewer rights today than their mothers did. We need to restore Roe and access to abortion NATIONWIDE.

This is Big Brother stuff. ICE has collected the DNA of lots of US citizens, including children & those who’ve never been convicted of a crime. This is a blatant violation of people's privacy. We cannot give another dime to fund ICE's continued abuses. www.wired.com/story/ice-dn...

The Chinese Communist Party has a playbook: steal the intellectual property of U.S. companies, manufacture those stolen products using cheap labor, and then break international trade laws by illegally dumping those products into American markets.

Stopped by Dion’s Chicago Dream today to hear about how this remarkable organization is helping hungry Chicagoans access fresh, delicious produce. Dion’s has already completed more than 780,000 food deliveries in its six years of operation, and I hope it will continue to make many, many more.

First, it was cyclosporiasis; now it’s Salmonella. One constant? Donald Trump and RFK Jr. defunded many of the FDA’s food safety programs and fired large swaths of food safety inspectors. They are doing everything in their power to Make America Sick Again.

Head Start is a lifeline for families. It ensures that high quality child care and early education is not just a privilege reserved for the rich. Now Trump wants to strip away Head Start's health and safety standards. All of our kids deserve better.

Let me explain further. However Trump blocks clean energy — with corporate payoffs, clean energy bans, regulatory blockades — the effect is the same: costs go up for consumers.

I joined the Colorado Democratic Delegation to demand answers from DHS after a protester was shot and injured outside of the Aurora ICE detention facility last month by a GEO employee. We cannot allow this violence to become the new normal.

Trump is finally admitting there’s “no video or proof” of the alleged vandalism at the Reflecting Pool. The real culprit? Shoddy contract work that cost taxpayers more than $16 million. Americans shouldn’t have to foot the bill for this administration’s waste and mismanagement.

A US ambassador's job is to protect & defend the citizens & interests of the United States. US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has failed to do so. As violence consumes the West Bank & extremists call for a Greater Israel, he's become a mouthpiece for the Israeli govt. He should resign.

23,000 - 34,000. That is how many of our neighbors aren’t getting the help they need to put food on the table because of Republicans’ historic cuts to SNAP. It’s simply wrong – families need some relief right now, not being kicked while they are down.

It's official: DOGE LIED about how much money it saved our government. A government watchdog just uncovered that DOGE overstated savings by BILLIONS. Trump and Elon's mission to root out "waste, fraud, and abuse" was just another failure.

Over 8 million Americans rely on insulin every day to manage their diabetes. No one should ever have to choose between paying rent or affording life-saving insulin. By capping insulin at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would ensure this medication is available to those who need it.

Americans are going into debt just to afford groceries and school supplies. And Trump is spending taxpayer dollars building, then destroying, and then reconstructing a vanity helipad... Talk about misplaced priorities. groundworkcollaborative.org/work/as-stud...

DOGE's recklessness disrupted and delayed services that Americans rely on — like Social Security, VA care, FEMA, the World Trade Center Health Program, and so many more. Just as we predicted, the fraud was Elon Musk all along.
