Republicans sent Congress home for the week because not even the MAGA Majority can stomach a $1.776 billion taxpayer slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists who assaulted police officers. At least for now …

Clean water is a basic right. This dangerous effort to roll back water quality protections will only allow more harmful chemicals into our drinking water — putting Americans' health at grave risk.

Today, Senate Democrats once again forced a vote to demand an end to this unconstitutional war. After seven failed attempts, I am thankful that my Republican colleagues have joined in bringing our War Powers Resolution to the Floor and exercising our constitutional responsibility to declare war.

BREAKING: An important victory in stopping $1 billion of your tax dollars from being used to pay for Trump’s golden ballroom. But the fight is not over, as Senate Republicans promise to keep trying. They will fight for Trump’s ballroom, but not to help you make ends meet.

The American people are tired of this grift. Congress needs to ban stock trading for all public officials — including the President — once and for all.

First, Donald Trump sues his own IRS to enrich himself. Now he wants to use billions in taxpayer funds to compensate his allies, including thousands charged for the January 6 insurrection. This is easily the most corrupt regime in U.S. history.

This week, Senate Democrats again forced a vote that would end the war in Iran, bring our troops home, and stop the economic fallout you're paying for at the pump. With each week that the war continues, additional Republicans join us. It's time to bring this war to an end.

What is the Republican Congress going to do about this? Spend $1 billion on Trump's golden ballroom.

One of our greatest challenges after Trump is gone will be rebuilding the DOJ and preventing future prosecutorial abuses — no more 'seashells cases.' We must codify new guardrails to protect the DOJ’s independence for good.

Medication abortion is safe and effective, and has been for decades. This was the right ruling. And the court should continue to recognize that these attacks have no basis in science or fact.

The Iran War. Tariff wars. Trump's policies and actions have pushed costs far higher than when he took office.

A ballroom he promised taxpayers wouldn't pay for. A wall he promised Mexico would. And now a no-bid contract for a favored pool contractor costing taxpayers millions more. Trump's art of the deal is, and always will be, a scam.

Californians might soon be paying $7 a gallon thanks to the war with Iran. Big Oil? They're making nearly $7 billion in profits. While oil companies rake it in at the pump, you're getting hosed.

With summer vacations looming and monthly budgets straining, Republicans in Congress just unveiled their latest budget. Their grand plan? $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol $1 billion for Trump's gold-plated ballroom And $0 for your bottom line. I wish I was kidding.

The President’s campaign of fear and intimidation continues. As if he has not done enough already to turn the lives of election workers in Fulton County upside down. What will it take to get Republican lawmakers in Congress to speak out before no one is willing to work at polling places?

California is proving that state tax credits are an effective tool to bring jobs and production back to the Golden State. Another reason why I'm fighting to create a federal film incentive to help promote American film production across the U.S.

Firing an education oversight official who refuses to give in to the Department’s pressure is Trump’s Dept. of Education’s latest intimidation tactic. We must end the brazen politicization of a bipartisan and independent committee.

After Watergate, the Presidential Records Act aimed to preserve official White House records to ensure transparency. Now Trump's DOJ is seeking to evade it. The White House is not above the law. I’m demanding answers.

The War Powers Act is clear. If Congress has not authorized going to war, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days. Senators on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged this. Today, we must abide by the law and end this war.

Today's Supreme Court decision essentially guts the last remaining tool of the Voting Rights Act used to prevent racial gerrymanders. Republicans across the country can now redraw congressional maps to even further disenfranchise communities of color. Yet another partisan and destructive decision.

As King Charles visits the U.S., it’s worth reflecting on the status of one of our most important alliances. We have ignored and assailed the British to the point where we are at war with Iran, and without a friend to be found.
