Let’s be crystal clear about what’s happening. President Trump is going to try and interfere in the 2026 elections.

People voted for Donald Trump to stop wars and expose pedophiles and instead he’s starting wars and protecting pedophiles.

Pam Bondi, Tom Homan, Sean Duffy, Susie Wiles. What do these people have in common? They’re former lobbyists-turned-government officials. As those close to Trump continue to make millions $$$ while you struggle to pay rent and utilities, I’m demanding answers.

Big Tech, Big Brother, and a big violation of Americans' free speech. Social media companies must not hand over users' private information to DHS simply because they criticized ICE.

I want to be unequivocal here: when—not if, but when—the next pandemic hits, America will be less prepared because of the decisions made by the Trump administration. Your family and our economy will be more vulnerable to the next pandemic. This is a choice Trump is making.

President Trump said the quiet part out loud. He hopes to nationalize elections and shatter 250 years of norms around federalism, all so he can remain in power.

I applaud the Baltimore County Council & County Executive for quickly passing a ban on private ICE detention facilities in the county. Our state has seen the inhumanity of these facilities firsthand & Marylanders have made it clear: we don't want Trump’s ICE or their jails here.

Good. Mohsen is in this country legally and peacefully protested the war in Gaza. It’s outrageous that the Trump Administration is trying to deport him simply for exercising his freedom of speech.

In America, my father got his PhD in genetics and dedicated his life to trying to cure cancer and Alzheimer’s. Now, he lives with Alzheimer’s, a disease that has erased his memory of his life’s work. We can’t go backwards.

Trump’s new prescription drug plan costs thousands more than generics. His “plan” will only leave your wallets and prescriptions empty. We already know Big Pharma is ripping Americans off. But working families need health care that is affordable, accessible, and universal.

Authoritarianism, plain and simple. Todd Lyons must immediately confirm or deny whether ICE is building a database of protesters. If true, this would be an appalling attack on Americans’ free speech and right to protest. Peaceful dissent is not a crime. It’s a constitutional right.

When President Trump threatens Canada with higher tariffs, it causes real economic harm for my constituents. His rhetoric has led to a sharp drop in Canadian tourism to our state, which takes money right out of the pockets of small business owners across NH. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/09/s...

This is Aliya Rahman, a disabled US citizen who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was violently assaulted, arrested, and detained by ICE agents. This is why we’re not giving DHS a cent until ICE is reined in – including use of force standards to which they can be held accountable.

Another person has died in ICE custody, this time in ICE’s Chicago Field Office jurisdiction. Despite this shocking update, ICE and DHS continue to restrict congressional oversight of detention facilities, denying accountability for this Administration and justice for the victims’ families.

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season, a sacred time renewal. While I usually observe this season privately, this year I’m looking forward to engaging more openly with Delawareans, colleagues, and faith leaders as we walk through this challenging time together.

Trump told the American people that his tariffs would bring back American manufacturing jobs. In reality, they’re doing the exact opposite. www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is bringing home federal funds to support communities across NH. Recently, I had the pleasure of letting Reach for the Top Therapy in Dover know that we had secured a $181,000 grant so they can expand therapy services to children in need.

AI has some incredible applications, but it also will likely upend our economy and make it harder for young adults to find jobs. I’m deeply concerned, and I’m focused every week on finding solutions for us to help ease the transition and help folks land in good-paying jobs.

The American people do not want to go to war with Iran. This is another dangerous escalation by Trump without a clear plan or consent from Congress. A reminder to the President: you don’t get to unilaterally decide when we go to war.

19,000 fewer people signed up for health care on Washington's marketplace this year—with thousands more seeing their premiums skyrocket. This is a direct result of Republicans CHOOSING to let health care costs increase so they could fund tax breaks for their billionaire friends.
