House Republicans held hands in prayer as they voted to take food away from hungry families. How can you pray for your neighbor, and then literally turn around and prey ON your neighbor with policies that crush the poor.

Creating jobs. Investing in growth and infrastructure. And supporting small businesses. Michiganders across our state are rolling up their sleeves to move us forward on all those fronts -- and I saw it in action this month from Mount Clemens to Auburn Hills to Warren.

Today is Emmett Till Day in Illinois, a day when we remember his horrific murder & the bravery of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, in her decision to open his casket, lighting the flame of the civil rights movement. In honoring their legacy, we must continue the fight for true equality in America.

Gas prices up, US troops lost, billions spent, and now this. Trump’s endless, unwinnable war has produced a new leader in Iran who is even worse than the old one. Just another reason why this war is a complete disaster. End the war now.

President Trump has no idea what he’s doing in Iran. For five months he has promised complete and total victory. He’s not winding down the war, he’s escalating it.

This is HISTORIC political corruption and EVERY American should be outraged. This isn't Trump's money—these are TAXPAYER dollars! Trump has been stealing money from blue states all along, and now his own lawyers have finally ADMITTED it in court. Time for accountability.

Instead of actually lowering your energy bills, Trump puts on a puppet show with his Big Tech donors to make them richer on your dime. My Ratepayer Roadmap offers a real solution: provide direct relief, build affordable clean energy, end profiteering from Big Tech and utilities.

The Trump admin has restored gun licenses for a number of gun stores that were found to be selling to minors, convicted felons, & more. Gun violence has taken too many lives in America, anyone found to be enabling it should not be let off the hook, they should face justice.

Good. This deal should never have been allowed in the first place. But even with this delay, we must keep fighting with our Attorneys General and ensure that this deal, which harms consumers, workers, and freedom of speech, is permanently blocked.

The Trump administration said what has been clear for over a year: their slashing of federal funding is not about eliminating ‘waste, fraud, and abuse.’ It’s a crude attempt to punish their political opponents and harm our communities. It’s cruel, it’s illegal, and I won’t stop fighting it.

Trump admits he’s ripping the rug out from under hardworking families so he can get revenge on the Americans who didn’t vote for him. It’s sick and deranged. His ego is so fragile, he’ll punish families already struggling to put food on the table for a little bit of vengeance.

Instead of actually working to fix our broken immigration system, the Trump administration is trying to reignite yesterday’s culture wars. These young people, many of whom have never had a home other than Colorado, want an education so they can build their lives.

Finally the Trump Admin admits what we have long known, that their grant cancellations were not based on “waste” or sound policy but vindictiveness. Americans should never be punished for voting, & it's despicable that the Admin is taking away funding from states that did not vote for Trump.

Families just want to be able to afford their groceries and rent and save up for their future. My family grew up counting every dollar, but a lot of folks in Washington don’t know what that’s like — and that’s why they’re failing working families. I’m fighting to fix that.

We don't have to guess anymore. They admitted it in court. It’s not a budget decision, it's the weaponization of government. This administration shows us time and time again they only care about one person — and that person only cares about himself.

When this regime puts its thumb on the scale in favor of fossil fuels over more affordable renewable energy sources, it's Americans who are left to pay the higher electricity and gas prices, while massive profits go directly into the pockets of big oil companies.

Trump bought at least $1 million of Dell stock in February. Since then, he's repeatedly told Americans to buy Dell products. No wonder he has pocketed $2.3 billion off the presidency. The grift never stops.
