Trump has promised that his new TrumpRx website will cut drug costs. Beware: this site does NOT include information about whether a drug has a cheaper generic alternative and you WILL have to pay fully out of pocket. Shop around to make sure you're actually getting a deal.

Donald Trump took up to 40% of FBI agents away from investigating serious crimes like child sex trafficking to do mass immigration round-ups… arresting folks that overwhelmingly have no violent criminal record.

Arbitrarily capping the federal student loans available to teachers & social workers is a cruel & stupid policy that must be reversed. As we face down a teacher shortage & a youth mental health crisis the Sec. of Education is making it harder for students to pursue these careers.

Trump and Kristi Noem say ICE is going after “the worst of the worst” – but ICE is targeting law-abiding workers and families instead of using their resources to get violent criminals off the streets.

President Trump claims ICE is targeting “the worst of the worst.” In reality, they’re targeting people with no criminal history, separating families, and killing people in the streets.

Only Donald Trump could (try to) divide the nation over a Super Bowl Half-time Show. The man often boasts that he’s better at practically everything than anybody, anywhere. Here’s where he is actually unrivaled: DIVISION! When it comes to that, he is the undisputed champion!

“America’s golden age” was a complete lie. The numbers tell the truth: Trump has been a disaster for American industry and is killing the blue-collar jobs he promised he’d bring back. Trump’s record: fewer jobs and higher prices. Change can’t some soon enough.

Donald Trump hasn't kept his promises, and he knows the American people are ready to hold him accountable. So now he's promising to cheat in the next election, if given the chance. We can't give him that chance.

Democrats aren’t asking for anything unreasonable on ICE reforms. We’re just asking that they be held to the same standards as local law enforcement. Donald Trump and Kristi Noem shouldn’t be able to command a secret, masked police force.

There is no clause in the Constitution or law on the books—none—that allows a President to commandeer state elections. No emergency power. No implied authority. No ‘because I say so.’ We will not let Trump take over our free and fair elections.

Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1. Well, it's day 385 and while Putin continues his bloody assault on Ukraine, Trump has only cozied up to Russia & gotten played by Putin. He's undermined Ukraine time and again and brought this war no closer to an end.

Trump & Noem's masked ICE agents aren't going after the worst of the worst—they're randomly targeting innocent people, detaining children, trampling Americans' basic rights, and killing U.S. citizens. This is not even remotely acceptable. ICE & CBP must be reined in.

Republicans decided that funding ICE and giving tax breaks to billionaires was more important than making health care affordable. So now, MILLIONS may be forced to go without care, leaving our communities at risk as the (already crushing) price of health care skyrockets.

President Trump promised his immigration enforcement would go after the “worst of the worst.” But his Administration’s own data shows that is a lie. ICE is going after innocent people, just to meet the President’s cruel enforcement quotas.

I’m deeply troubled by this sentencing of Jimmy Lai and the continued incarceration of Pastor Jin Mingri and Dr. Gulshan Abbas – all of whom have already paid a heavy price on dubious charges. Their humanitarian release by China would be welcomed around the world.
