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.

I am outraged to see the new regulations proposed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) that threaten to eliminate Tribal consultation as we know it.

There is one effective way to reduce the spread and severity of measles: Vaccination. And RFK Jr. has undermined it at every turn. He is a hazard to our health and must resign.

DOGE and the Trump administration pushed 7,800 workers out of Social Security. Now it's scrambling to hire people back as seniors face longer waits for fewer appointments. What did Trump and DOGE accomplish besides making it harder for people to get the benefits they earned?

Did you know that 1 in 3 kids are underinsured? This means about 23 million kids' healthcare is unable to meet their needs. MediKids solves this problem by guaranteeing comprehensive healthcare for EVERY child. It’s a no-brainer.

Disturbing details are coming out about the ICE agent who fatally shot an innocent man in Maine, and it begs the question—why on earth is ICE hiring people like this? Reminder: Republicans BLOCKED every basic reform & accountability measure I pushed.

As I pointed out this week, experts at the Dept of Commerce warned Trump's deal with a UAE company compromises our national security, but Trump did it anyway as he rakes in money from the Emirati royal family. The whole thing stinks of corruption.

It’s official: Having Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services has made a record number of children sick and sent to the hospital. His tenure is a complete and total failure, and in any normal Administration he would have been fired long ago. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/w...

Scrubbing fallen service members from official records to hide the true cost of the war in Iran is a disgraceful betrayal of our troops. This administration’s attempt to erase their sacrifice for political cover will not stand.

Safety in our communities is paramount but policing US citizens has always been the job of law enforcement, not DOD. The Nat'l Guard deployment in DC is burning readiness, morale & taxpayer dollars on missions that don't belong to the military. Worse, it's eroding public trust our Armed Forces need.

Trump has made billions while in office and wants you to believe there's nothing wrong with it. He’s making himself and other billionaires richer while jacking up prices for everyone else. Being President is supposed to mean serving your country — not cashing in on it.

Trump wants to spend $1.5 TRILLION on war, and is asking for $70 BILLION on top of that, all while his sons are profiting from major defense contracts. Are we investing in national security? Or are we investing in the Trump family’s portfolio?

1st Lt. Tyler Feehan, Sgt. Angel Rampersad, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales and Sgt. Michael Swinton gave their lives admirably serving our nation. Erasing their sacrifices is a disgraceful attempt by this fragile President to minimize the costs of his illegal war.

The Trump administration is turning the clock back on school civil rights to the 1960s: cutting staff, gutting the Department of Education, and eliminating tools that protect our kids from harm. All students deserve to live up to their potential with a school system that supports that.

Ten years later, sweaty and slurring, he's still promising a health care plan he's never delivered on. Instead, Americans got the highest health care costs ever and hospitals laying off staff or shutting down entirely. All thanks to Trump's health care sabotage & Medicaid cuts.

For 146 days, Trump & Republicans have told us, against all evidence, that the next strike, the next week, the next month will bring victory in Iran. That kind of logic is how forever wars begin. When you're digging yourself into a hole, the best way out is to stop digging.

While House Republicans provided enough support to pass another resolution to end the Iran war, Senate Republicans did not. Tragically, this war has led to economic instability, driven up prices for millions of Americans, and resulted in the deaths of 18 of our servicemembers.
