  Abraham Lincoln on judges, March 1861: “It is a duty from which they may not shrink to decide cases properly brought before them, and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes.” He predicted MAGA attacks on the courts over a century ago.

  For more than 75 years, NATO has acted as a force for good in Europe, and around the globe. The President’s threats to use the U.S. military against a NATO ally puts the entire alliance in jeopardy and plays right into Vladimir Putin’s hands.

  How’d Susie Wiles get access to the Epstein files? And under what authority? The Trump Administration has lost trust with the American people on this case. Full transparency is the only way out.

  The Trump Administration failed to comply with federal law when it only partially “released” the Epstein files last month. We need an audit.

  Mr. President: put up or shut up. If you have credible evidence of fraud, present it publicly. I will join you in addressing it. If you have no credible evidence of fraud, stop penalizing innocent, needy children. Picking on kids is not presidential.

  Those who fear the truth or attempt to distort it face a lesson in history. The reality of events will prevail and those who distort it will be relegated to a shameful trash heap reserved for traitors and liars.

  Today is the perfect day for any Republican to condemn the January 6th insurrection—and hold Donald Trump accountable for once.

  January 6, 2021 was a horrific day. Armed insurrectionists tried overturning a free and fair election. People lost their lives. But Donald Trump—and the Republican Party—still show no remorse.

  The Trump Administration’s changes to the childhood vaccine schedule will endanger children’s health and wellbeing. Decisions surrounding vaccines should be made based on sound science, not Secretary Kennedy’s conspiracy theories.

  I’m honored to count Senator Mark Kelly as my colleague and friend. He risked his life in service to our country and is now being attacked by the current administration. It is wrong and it is hateful.

  If the actions taken in Venezuela is the type of foreign policy that Trump supports, where does that leave Taiwan?
