What’s the Trump corruption of the day? Diamond rings and tariff exemptions.

No one should ever fear going to their house of worship. Period. The Right to Worship Act helps ensure that by prohibiting disruptive conduct within 100 feet of a religious institution that’s used to threaten or impede access. www.thejewishnews.com/jewish-teleg...

America lost 23,000 jobs in July because of Trump’s disastrous agenda and his reckless war in Iran. How are Americans supposed to afford Trump’s skyrocketing costs if they lose their jobs too?

Higher prices, fewer jobs. Trump is killing our economy.

Stupid tariffs bang the economy. Great Climate Insurance Collapse bangs the economy. Botched Iran War bangs the economy. Clean energy ban bangs the economy. Behind it all is incompetence, corruption, and a mad fixation on gilding things.

The second Trump admin is again employing "under the radar" tactics to dismantle our immigration system. My new report shines a light on Trump’s administrative attack on due process, lawful status, and our immigration courts to further his racist agenda. This cruelty must end.

A weakening labor market, rising gas prices, and elevated inflation is crushing Americans - This is Trump's economy. His “golden age” works only for the wealthy, not YOU.

Todd Blanche said it himself – he serves one person: Donald Trump. I have absolutely no confidence that he will respect the rule of law, remain impartial, or honorably serve the American people. I opposed his nomination as Deputy AG over a year ago, and I will do the same now.

Senate Democrats have stood up for Americans at every step of these budget negotiations. Americans expect their government to deliver for them, and we won’t stop until we get the job done.

Republicans held an entire hearing about Medicaid fraud, but they don't want to talk about the FRAUD in the WH. Crypto schemes, foreign bribes, the President ACTUALLY pardoning convicted Medicaid fraudsters. Sounds like we've got some good leads—starting at the White House.

Trump has tried and failed to undermine birthright citizenship before. The Constitution was clear then, and it’s clear now.

Trump said he'd lower costs. Instead, he gave us a Big, Bad Bill, higher tariffs, and an illegal, reckless war with Iran. The result? You are paying more for just about everything.

The Boundary Waters have a long road to recovery ahead. But parts are open again, and the restaurants and hotels and shops and outfitters in Ely and the rest of Northeast Minnesota need visitors now more than ever. There’s a lot to do up there!

Trump, Leavitt, and Hegseth claim this story is "fake news," but the American people can do the math. We are running out of high-end munitions. There is no exit strategy to get us out of this illegal war. And this regime is clearly lying about all of it. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump's judicial nominees are still afraid to say who won the 2020 election. If they can't rely on the truth to answer a simple question, they can't be trusted to rely on the facts as a judge.

Donald Trump’s economy is a failure. Job losses, skyrocketing costs, all while he’s fully consumed with interior design for the White House and golf. The only person who should be losing their job is Donald Trump. Accountability and a new way forward are coming in November.

A Korean company mysteriously paid Donald Trump $2 MILLION while it was under investigation by his administration. I’ve got concerns about pay-to-play politics and the potential for bribery.

I met with high school and college students from NJ Future Farmers of America and was so inspired by their passion for agriculture. I know they will make the Garden State proud and I'll continue to support this critical sector that provides so much to our communities.

I appreciated meeting with Iraq’s new Prime Minister Al Zaidi earlier this month. Michigan is home to a diverse and successful Iraqi-American community -- the largest in the country -- so what happens in Iraq matters in Michigan.

Tonight, I secured a key concession from the Trump admin to close a loophole in the Russia sanctions bill that expanded Trump’s tariff power. This is a small but important victory for all Americans who have suffered under this President’s reckless tariffs.

Trump's illegal war with Iran has lasted nearly half a year. What is the status of the war now? I break down why it's lasted this long and what it has cost the American people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-6A...

The Voting Rights Act was signed into law 61 years ago today to break down barriers to the ballot box. Republicans are trying to reverse that progress. Their so-called SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote.

Todd Blanche is the guy who: - Exposed the names & photos of Epstein survivors but hid the names of abusers, - negotiated a $1.8 BILLION slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists, - & cut a deal to give Trump's family immunity from IRS investigations. I'm voting NO.

I have to pay my taxes. My constituents have to pay their taxes. It's not fair to put President Trump and his family above the law, but that is exactly what Todd Blanche has been willing to do. I urge my colleagues not to support Mr. Blanche as Attorney General.

The climate crisis is a health crisis. My GREEN Hospitals Act with @jayapal.house.gov will invest over $100 billion to modernize health facilities, cut emissions, create jobs, protect workers, and ensure patients can get care before, during, and after climate disasters.

You paid the cost of Trump's tariffs. And instead of refunding you, he gave big corporations a payday. Congress should pass my Tariff Refunds for Working Families Act and return this money back to working families — not the CEOs of wealthy companies.

The DOJ slush fund isn't dead. It's dormant. The confirmation process is the Senate's best chance to end it for good. A DOJ letter promising the slush fund won't move forward isn't law. It isn't binding. And it isn't enough.

Time and time again, President Trump, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Jeanine Pirro have weaponized the federal government against their perceived enemies. The intimidation is the point. It won’t work.

NFL football is back starting tonight with the Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game. Yes, it’s preseason, but it’s better than no football. Not to mention Larry Fitzgerald getting inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend. You can’t beat that.

The Trump Administration has admitted it cancelled energy grants in Illinois solely because our state didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2024. I led members of the Illinois Democratic Congressional delegation in sending a letter to the admin calling out this brazen attack on our state.

Betting on how destructive a wildfire will be is just plain wrong—and opens the door to insider trading and even arson. I’m fighting to rein it in.

Todd Blanche is known for one thing: his loyalty to Trump. If confirmed as AG, I’m worried he’s going to serve as Trump’s personal lawyer – not the American people’s. I’ll be voting NO on his nomination, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.

Trump is trying to gut Head Start — a vital program that provides affordable childcare to hundreds of thousands of families. Wisconsin families are having a hard enough time affording childcare; this is the last thing they need.

Donald Trump is selling Wall Street early access to information about our economy and national security with an ultra-fast feed of his Truth Social posts for $100,000 a month. While Republicans ignore Trump's corruption, see what bipartisan market experts think about it.
