Scammed some people and need a pardon? A tariff exception? A bank charter? If you’re a billionaire Trump donor, you may be in luck. But if you’re an American looking to save for retirement or invest in a company you like — the Trump Administration wants to keep you in the dark.

While Trump pushes to fast-track data centers, ratepayers across the PJM grid area are paying $37 BILLION more in their utility bills to subsidize the electricity needs of data centers. Once again, Trump puts the billionaire class ahead of working people.

You shouldn't have to pay for Trump's Tariff Tax. It's time to end Trump's chaotic trade wars and refund the American people.

NEWS: I'm introducing the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act. This bill would revoke and refund Trump’s latest barrage of tariffs, and repeal the authorities he's used to continue his senseless trade war. www.ms.now/news/schumer...

The real question is, are they paying these creators for stories in their favor? We already know they’re pushing out the free and independent press. Is this yet another attempt to hide their failures? So much for the “most transparent Pentagon in history.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I asked both General Caine and Secretary Hegseth to confirm a very simple fact: they’re not going to send uniformed military to interfere in elections. Caine responded that he would uphold the Constitution and refuse to carry out unlawful orders. Hegseth has not.

I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.

For the first time in history, the national average price of gas for the month of August has been above $4 per gallon every single day. If it feels like it’s been the most expensive August at the pump, that’s because it is. End. The. War. apnews.com/article/stoc...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court gave Trump the greenlight to steamroll ahead on his $600M ballroom. Trump's billionaire buddies and corporations gave millions in "gifts" to bankroll it. Many have big stakes in federal contracts and actions. It's a gold-encrusted gateway for corruption.
- CS
The MAGA Supreme Court is rubberstamping Trump’s corrupt, gilded ballroom. Families’ costs are soaring, and Trump’s priorities are clear: his ballroom over your bills. Democrats are fighting to cut costs. Trump is fighting for himself.

Early in 2025, Hegseth asked top military leaders about cutting a program meant to protect civilians during war. No one thought it was a good idea. He did it anyway. Hegseth's leadership has been a failure on every level; he needs to go NOW.

Trump’s chaos at the Postal Service is putting Americans’ votes at risk. No voter should have their ballot thrown out because the mail didn’t arrive on time. Every American deserves to have their voice heard and their vote counted.

The Blatnik Bridge between Duluth and Superior has reached the end of its useful life after serving us for 65 years. By 2030, it will have been deemed unsafe and decommissioned. But the bridge is the linchpin that connects the bustling, proud cities that make up the Twin Ports.

Replacing the Blatnik Bridge has taken years of work–passing a new law, countless calls, meetings, visits, & cajoling–but today, we’re breaking ground. This bridge is an investment in our people–the workers who’ll build it, businesses that depend on it, & families who need it.

Republicans and Trump claiming ICE is going after violent criminals is an outright lie, and the numbers prove it. 800 people a day were arrested last month with NO criminal record. We can force a change using our voices and our VOTES.

After Trump's illegal Venezuela raid, I called it out for what it was: A reckless act of war to grab Venezuelan oil for US oil companies & Trump's billionaire buddies. Now, the same people who said I was wrong then are celebrating Trump’s oil 'deal.' It should outrage us all.

It’s been 6 months since Trump started this reckless war with Iran. 18 Americans are dead, prices keep rising, and America is less safe than before. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth don’t know what they’re doing. This has been a mess from day one, and Americans are paying the price.

I’m calling for a moratorium on data center construction. There needs to be guarantees around utility bills, pollution, and transparency before these facilities can be built. Giant corporations are running roughshod over everyday Georgians and it has to stop.

Back-to-school shopping costs more this year thanks to Trump’s chaotic tariffs. Need notebooks and markers? Expect to spend $118 on supplies for each kid. Add clothes, books, and tech? $800+. Trump calls this “America First”? Give me a break.
