Fed Chair Powell is doing his job—making decisions based on facts and data, not Trump’s reckless demands. Once again, this regime is using DOJ to attack Trump's perceived political enemies, further undermining our democracy, our economy, and the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

We've been fighting to bring down housing costs and help American families buy homes, but House Republicans blocked our bipartisan housing bill last year. If Trump wants to join the fight, let's make this happen.

Donald Trump doesn't even have concepts of a plan for Venezuela, but he's already briefed big oil executives on how they make money from his invasion. Once again, he's prioritizing himself and his billionaire buddies over our democracy and the American people. apnews.com/article/trum...

A judge restored funding for the American Academy of Pediatrics that helps prevent unexpected infant death, increases pediatric care in rural areas, improves care for newborns, and more. Retaliating against Americans’ pediatricians is not how we protect our kids.

If they can do it to Venezuela, they can do it to Russia. Closing off Russia’s shadow fleet oil revenue, and starting to seize Russia’s frozen assets for Ukraine, would bring Putin to the table pronto.

Noem is once again trying to obstruct oversight at ICE facilities. This comes just days after we found out DHS LIED about a shooting in Maryland & we all saw the horrible killing of Renee Good. We cannot just hope for better. No more money for DHS without accountability.

President Trump wants to weaponize every tool of government against his perceived opponents. His lackeys at the Justice Department embrace and execute his worst instincts. Congress must fight back.

The Roadless Rule -- which limits clear-cutting and roadbuilding in America’s last remaining pristine forests -- turns 25 today! I've fought for the Rule since 2001 because Washingtonians depend on our 2 million acres to safeguard clean drinking water sources and our $25+billion outdoor rec economy.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension worked closely and effectively with the FBI on the investigations into the tragic Hortman and Annunciation Church shootings — yet now the BCA is being excluded entirely. That undermines public trust precisely when we need maximum transparency.

Let’s be clear: Targeting Jerome Powell is just the latest escalation of Trump's corrupt weaponization of the government in his pursuit of unfettered power. These actions will only weaken the economy, even as they threaten to chill and silence the president’s critics. Powell is right to speak out.

The President is playing with fire. By attacking the independence of the Federal Reserve, he is risking even higher inflation and economic chaos. I will do everything in my power to block Trump's nominees to the Fed until he stops playing political games with our economy.

There are a lot of business leaders who have groveled and capitulated to this White House who could learn a thing or two from Fed Chair Powell. Trump is not inevitable. The more of us that speak out against his corruption, the less power he has. Speak up. Don't cave.

President Trump continues to use the federal government as an arsenal to deploy against political adversaries. He doesn’t care that his actions will disrupt our economy and hurt working families. Americans want lower prices, not score settling.

This is what happens when you give crooks free run of the place. This is a nakedly political and corrupt farce of an investigation. This Republican Congress needs to STAND UP and defend the independence of the Fed. Block ANY Fed nominee until this sham investigation ends.

The President wants to withdraw the U.S. from dozens of global organizations that further U.S. interests. Walking away from programs that support reproductive health, combat climate change, and protect victims of sexual violence is shortsighted and will weaken U.S. leadership and security.

Trump’s policies have failed to lower prices so his answer is to grab more power. Weaponizing the Department of Justice to take over our central bank is reckless and just plain dumb. I’ll fight it every step of the way on the Senate Banking Committee.

President Trump hasn’t yet lifted a finger to address sky-high housing costs except to hit “post” on Truth Social. He could start by telling House Republicans to stop blocking a bipartisan bill to build more housing and bring down costs.
