The President is supposed to put Americans first, not profit from them. This report highlights how much money Trump made last year via schemes like his memecoin, side deals with foreign nations, and political events at his properties, all while average Americans lost money. bsky.app/profile/meid...

While families struggle with higher grocery bills and gas prices, Trump keeps pouring billions into his illegal war in Iran. It's past time he focused on the problems he's made worse here at home.

Measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. over 26 years ago. But less than 2 years under Trump and RFK Jr., measles cases have reached a 35 year high. And with this regime's new vaccine schedule, preventable outbreaks, like measles, are just the beginning. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...

Donald Trump reported more than 14,000 stock trades worth up to $1.06 BILLION in his first year back in office. The President should be working for YOU—not his stock portfolio. It’s time to BAN Congress, the Vice President, and the President from owning stocks. Period.

Mortgage rates are now 6.6% nationally and nearly 7% in Michigan. Congress recently passed a bipartisan housing bill to help make housing more affordable. For Michiganders looking to buy, Michigan’s $10,000 down-payment assistance program can help.

The Iran war is still hitting Americans where it hurts: their wallets and their homes. Michigan gas is $4.14 a gallon. Motorists are paying $62 to fill a 15-gallon tank, while diesel is $5.32 a gallon.

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million. That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

Arming rogue ICE agents with the tools to deliver painful electric shocks is a terrifying escalation of cruelty and inhumanity. Reverse this horrific plan now. Abolish ICE.

Trump isn’t a doctor. He should stop pretending to be one in the Oval Office. Vaccines save lives. Spreading conspiracy theories about childhood vaccinations puts lives at risk.

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s attempt to control mail-in voting — again — stating, “the executive branch has no authority to regulate elections.” The Constitution gives the power to administer elections to the states, NOT the president. https://ow.ly/8BvH50Zz7Pk

What happened when Donald Trump gutted the IRS? - Paper returns took longer to be processed - Fewer calls got answered - Less in-person help was available - Call wait times got longer I’ve been warning this would happen. Now a new government watchdog report confirms it.

When we protect public lands, we’re preserving Colorado’s ecosystems, ensuring all people have access to outdoor recreation, and protecting beautiful landscapes for generations to come. Public lands are central to Colorado’s identity. They’re not for sale. Not now. Not ever.

This rogue agency uses cruel tactics like these and hasn’t demonstrated any willingness to de-escalate — and the Trump Administration refuses to rein them in. I'll continue opposing additional funding for ICE until it is held accountable.

$20 million of taxpayer money for electric shock gloves?! This is horrifying and infuriating. It's exactly why so many of Democrats voted against billions of dollars in additional funding for ICE.

I met with Customs and Border Protection to get an update on what they’ve been seeing since the bridge opened back in July. About 8,000 vehicles crossed the bridge on opening day, and thousands more have made the trip since. The multi-use path also saw about 3,400 walkers, runners, and cyclists.
