Who better to oversee a project that destroyed the East Wing and is building a gilded ballroom paid for by pay-to-play donors than a 26-year-old whose only relevant experience is saying yes to President Trump? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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.

The Open Door Clinic in Chippewa Falls embodies the best of our state — Folks stepping up to care for whoever walks in the door. We need to support these health care heroes and families who need affordable care by stopping the attacks on Medicaid and fixing our broken system.

Welders do critical work, including at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where they help maintain vessels that keep our nation safe, secure, and free. It was great to visit Great Bay Community College's new welding lab that is helping students prepare for these important jobs.

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.

Taffy Abel. 102 years ago, he became the first U.S. flag bearer and was also the first Native American athlete to compete in the Winter Olympics. He was a Yooper—born in Sault Ste. Marie to an Ojibwe mother and a French-Canadian father.

Resuming nuclear testing—and inflaming a new arms race—is not the answer here. Let’s engage with China and figure out what happened. New nuclear testing would be a gift to China.

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.

When corporate media obeys in advance, authoritarianism wins & the truth loses. This cowardice from CBS — & the Admin's weaponization of the FCC — threatens our 1st Amendment rights. We must not be silent as corporations keep bowing down to Trump. We must call them out.
