Billionaires have benefited for decades because the tax code rewards wealth over work. My Equal Tax Act makes the wealthy pay tax on investments the same way working people pay tax on their paycheck. It’s basic fairness.

What is Planet 10? When you represent the Midwest, you represent a ton of folks who have different political beliefs than you do. You have to approach problems differently and find common ground.

I’ve been fighting for years to ban Members of Congress and their families from buying and trading stocks. It stinks of corruption—if we want to restore public trust, banning Congressional trading is a great place to start.

Watch Trump’s attempts to cast doubt on the results of the California elections closely. This is probably just a test run for some of the interference he’s going to attempt in our midterms. We cannot let him get away with it.

It is infuriating just how little Trump cares about the average American family. He is singlehandedly driving up costs through his reckless war of choice with Iran and stupid tariffs. Just remember: Republicans could stop Trump anytime—they're choosing not to.

Trump is not a deal maker, he is a deal breaker. In 2015, we passed a good deal with Iran that stopped a bomb, but Trump tore it up to create a crisis. Then Iran enriched, and Trump attacked. 100 days of war, $100 billion bill for taxpayers, 100% failure. Totally avoidable.

I'm joining my colleagues to demand the Trump administration release funds to reimburse legal service providers for unaccompanied children. These critical providers protect kids from trafficking and exploitation –– and give them a voice in their own immigration proceedings.

Trump officially nominated Todd Blanche to be Attorney General permanently. “Attorney General” might appear on his business card, but we all know his job description will stay the same: Trump’s fixer, bagman, hired gun. We will fight his confirmation relentlessly.

An overwhelming majority of Americans agree: we must cap insulin costs. My INSULIN Act would do just that. Proud to add 6 new, bipartisan supporters to this bill. With 24 Senators signed onto this legislation and counting, momentum continues to build. Let's get it done.

Rising fuel costs are causing the price of crabs to spike. And in Maryland, we really don’t like it when you mess with crabs. This Administration seems to have unlimited money for slush funds, ballrooms, and wars with no end in sight — but no plan to lower costs for the people footing the bill.

In the midst of an Ebola outbreak: we have no confirmed CDC Director, Surgeon General, or FDA Commissioner. Half of NIH's Institutes & Centers lack permanent leadership. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is leaving work at 4pm & spouting conspiracy theories. This is public health under Trump.

Elon Musk, who funds the GOP, has called Social Security a "Ponzi Scheme." Now, after passing the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, Speaker Johnson is targeting Social Security & Medicare. All after blowing up the debt to give billionaires tax breaks they don't need.

Judges have found ICE's detention practices to be illegal in over 10,000 cases. 10,000 times. And it hasn't even been 2 years of this regime. 10,000 examples that show just how illegal, cruel, and inhuman this regime's anti-immigrant agenda truly is.

8 times we've voted to end Trump's illegal war in Iran. 38 times Trump lied that a deal was imminent. $100 billion later, costs skyrocketing, and we're all still waiting. The war needs to end NOW. www.cnn.com/2026/06/09/p...

Thanks to Republicans' tax giveaways for billionaires, Social Security has seen the worst drop in its long-term solvency in more than 30 years. Speaker Johnson says the quiet part out loud: Republicans will CUT Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare next year if they remain in control.

Trump’s "burn it to the ground and fix it later" approach has caused chaos and cost countless lives. He’s hampered our ability to detect Ebola early on and help contain it by gutting USAID and the CDC, and pulling out of WHO. 1/2

Trump is parading his UFC fight as a celebration for America 250. But his fight on the South Lawn isn't a celebration for our country, it's a garish birthday party closing out his 7-figure fundraiser. The grift doesn't stop.

50 people have now died in ICE detention during Trump’s second term. Experts have said many of these deaths are preventable and due to poor conditions. Rather than work with Democrats to make real reforms, Senate Republicans pushed through another $70 billion to ICE.

It’s hard to keep track how many times President Trump has promised that the Iran War would soon end. More than 100 days after he launched his war of choice, we have yet to see any real or coherent plan from this Administration to end this conflict.

Republicans have already taken $1 trillion out of our healthcare system. They won’t stop until they dismantle it even further and take social security down with it. Americans pay for these programs. They should NEVER be cut just to line the pockets of Trump and the ultra-wealthy.
