President Trump is threatening war because of his fragile ego. It’s stupid and dangerous.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who relentlessly fought for equal justice. And that justice is under threat right now as much as it has ever been. As Dr. King said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” So let’s fight for what’s right.

MLK told us that injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere. That’s still true today and it’s why we can’t look away or back down. The fight for equal rights and justice didn’t end with him and neither did our responsibility to carry it forward.

The President’s betrayal of NATO is complete with this latest tariff threat. It will only further alienate our allies, drive economic uncertainty, and raise costs. Congress must act, and put a stop this self-destructive madness. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/01/...

President Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on our European allies — part of his absurd quest to take over Greenland, a part of Denmark — risks splitting the NATO alliance, much to China and Russia’s delight.

Reminder: Senate Republicans BLOCKED an extension of the ACA tax credits (again) and are letting YOUR health care premiums skyrocket. And Trump's sorry excuse for a "plan" isn't going to change that.

@blumenthal.senate.gov is right. As the Senate continues to debate a crypto market structure bill, we must make sure it protect investors, our financial system, and American taxpayers.

Donald Trump’s chaotic trade wars are actually handing advantages to China — hurting our farmers and workers in the process. And his constant threats to NATO are weakening our alliances and emboldening Russia. apnews.com/article/chin...

As someone who worked alongside our NATO partners my entire career, I’m embarrassed to take people’s phone calls. It is beyond the pale that we have the United States of America talking about using military action in a fellow NATO country.

The Trump-Vance Admin ran 1,000 simulations to find a healthy meal that people can afford in this economy. Instead of doing all that, they could’ve just rolled back their tariffs that are making life more expensive.

Making Americans pay more because you can’t take over another country? The President should spend more time on lowering costs for Americans and less time blowing up our most important alliances.

“NUTS” is how I described Trump’s lawless, reckless block on Revolution Wind last summer. Now federal courts have told him the same, albeit with greater erudition & elegance.

Just another reason why the President of the United States must not be “involved” in decisions about approving megamergers. It’s simple: Any review needs to be based on the law and facts — not Donald Trump’s political opinions and personal investments.

In Minnesota, we won't stop welcoming people from around the world. Undeterred by the ice or ICE, Stillwater, MN hosted its annual world snow competition, bringing 16 international teams that turn blocks of snow into art.

So now President Trump says, “I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland." When he alienates our allies like this, it puts so much at risk. It risks intelligence sharing. It risks alliances. It risks trade and open markets. It makes America less safe.
- RG
The idea that we’re going to ruin our long standing alliances and waste billions of dollars to buy Greenland while our own people can’t afford health care or groceries is maybe the dumbest thing a president has done in the history of this country.

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody. ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial. Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

“Acting President” of Venezuela. Threatening more tariff costs on Americans to seize Greenland. Underwater on domestic issues. “Retribution” admitted at DOJ. Energy policies upside down. Whether or not he had a stroke, are we sure this man is mentally competent?

Trump has made a lot of promises on housing. But he hasn’t lifted a finger in the last year to bring down housing costs. And his Administration is making it harder for working families to buy their own home.
