Extortion foreign policy is the name of the game for Trump and he doesn't care what it costs you.

The Trump admin's briefing on Venezuela posed far more questions than it answered When the United States engages in this kind of regime change and so-called nation building, it always ends up hurting the United States I left the briefing feeling that it would again www.youtube.com/shorts/CKAUw...

Trump’s doing mob boss politics again — this time on a global scale. He doesn’t have a plan for what comes next, just another half-baked scheme to help his friends get richer.

At a time of rising costs for Americans, Trump is cutting child care services and resources for the most vulnerable families. President Trump thinks this is a game, but these are people’s lives. www.axios.com/2026/01/05/t...

The American people can see for themselves how dishonest & cynical this is. Drug trafficking warrants the use of military force to topple a foreign government in one instance, and then merits Trump pardoning the former Honduran President, lawfully convicted of the same crime?

Millions of Americans are struggling to afford healthcare and groceries while Donald Trump is focused on costly regime change operations. What happened to lowering costs for American families? Trump thinks that’s a “Democrat hoax.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/w...

Democrats are focused on lowering costs for Americans, while Donald Trump and Republicans are spending all of their time on foreign wars, on ballrooms, and on private jets. How is this America first?

President Trump wants to look tough by attacking countries abroad to distract from his failure to attack the core issue of the cost of living at home.

Tens of millions of Americans are now locked into sky-high health premiums, and millions are going without health insurance—all because Republicans let the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. Democrats will not stop fighting to lower health costs the American people.

Donald Trump’s promise to keep America out of foreign entanglements is now as worthless as his promise to release the Epstein Files. And it’s the American people who will pay the price.

Happy Monday, folks. The Senate is back in session, but we can’t let it be just business as usual. We’re still holding up the appropriations package to demand full funding for NCAR. We won’t let Trump continue to attack science and life-saving weather research.

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

THIS WEEK: I will join Senators Kaine, Schiff, and Paul in forcing a vote on our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to stop any further military action in Venezuela without Congressional approval. The American people did not sign up for another round of endless wars.

At the same time the Trump Admin is making health care more expensive for families, it is weakening the health of children and our communities.

New York is facing the highest flu levels in over 20 years as flu rates surge across America. And yet, HHS just slashed children's vaccine recommendations including the flu. RFK Jr. is putting our children in danger. He's making America sicker. And it will lead to more deaths.

What comes next for Venezuela? The Trump administration's story keeps changing by the hour. No plan. No clarity. Only chaos.
- RW
Reckless & dangerous. Sec. Kennedy is now requiring parents who want to vaccinate their kids against the flu to go to the doctor before they can get a shot. Children are dying from the flu. Making vaccines harder to get will cost lives.
- PM
RFK Jr. is a dangerous man whose conspiracy theories are putting children’s lives at risk. There is NO evidence behind this decision, and it will only cause more preventable diseases to spread. RFK Jr. should never have been confirmed. He should be FIRED or RESIGN.

Kennedy's conspiracy-fueled leadership of the CDC endangers every American — especially our children. This move fails to meet the scientific criteria for CDC guidance & will cause more confusion around vaccines that save lives. This man is a threat to our nation’s health.

Trump says he’s not afraid of boots on the ground in Venezuela. What is the plan here? Are we really going to deploy American sons and daughters and put them on the ground in Latin America with no clear objectives, vision, or leadership?

Vaccines keep kids out of ICUs. Vaccines keep schools safe. Vaccines. Save. Lives.

Take a step back and think about Hegseth’s decision to censure Mark Kelly: Former Major Hegseth is trying to demote and cut the pension of a 25-year military pilot for saying the *very same things* Hegseth himself said in 2016.

Trump promised lower costs and America first. But as healthcare and grocery bills skyrocket, he is focused on building ballrooms, renaming the Kennedy Center and literally running another country. This is not what America asked for. This is not what America deserves.

Trump's reckless attack on Venezuela has left Massachusetts families trapped after their holiday travels. I am keeping a close eye on the Department of Transportation and the airlines to ensure they are working to safely get families home without delay or financial hardship.

I will vote for the bipartisan war powers resolution to block President Trump from continuing his illegal military action in Venezuela. We can’t let President Trump drag us into another forever war.

As if Measles coming back wasn't bad enough, Sec. Kennedy now wants to put our children at risk of contracting Meningitis by removing it from the childhood vaccine schedule. He needs to be fired immediately.

Mark Kelly is a patriot who has served his country in combat, space missions, and the U.S. Senate. The Trump administration’s threats and intimidation won’t stop Senator Kelly from standing up for the country he’s always served.

These people hardly believe in anything. They lied to the American people to win an election, and now we're all paying the price. I opposed the war in Iraq from the outset, and I will oppose any war in Venezuela as well. No occupation. No "boots on the ground."

RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine crusade makes "America First" in reversing decades of progress to keep kids healthy. Today's announcement means more children and families will suffer under Trump and RFK's Make America Sick Agenda.

On Ekpar Asat’s 41st birthday, I’m calling for his immediate and unconditional release after years of unjust imprisonment by the Chinese Communist Party. He has spent nearly a decade in prison, including years in solitary confinement, for a fabricated crime.

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.

No one should bemoan the end of Maduro's reign. But Trump's illegal operation is about more than just Venezuela. It's about a President believing he has no limit to his power as Commander in Chief. Congress must say no to this abuse of force.

It's one of the WORST flu seasons on record, and what is our HHS Secretary doing? GUTTING access to the flu vaccine. How many children will have to die before RFK Jr. is fired? He is a danger to our children, our schools, and our nation. He must go.

Outrageous—oil executives notified of a military strike before Congress. And Trump's putting the lives of U.S. servicemembers at risk to help his donors get rich off Venezuela's oil. It's not about democracy or drugs. It's Iraq all over again, just more openly corrupt.
