From housing to health care to gas, Granite Staters have seen their costs go up by nearly $4,000 since President Trump took office. Americans across the country have made clear that affordability is their top concern—yet the President couldn’t care less.

Republicans are hoping the American people don't know the difference between showing a photo ID and proving their citizenship. But if the SAVE Trump Act passes, that difference could mean MILLIONS of eligible voters are disenfranchised from voting in our upcoming elections.

$12 million. That's how much taxpayer money the Trump Administration spent to rehire the same federal workers they'd previously fired. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse – this Administration commits all three on a daily basis.

Next is further response from the retired judges who raised the “fraud on the court” issue, then comes her next ruling. Stand by and watch this space.

Obviously, they want to avoid discussing their sleazy Trump deal under oath, particularly in front of a judge who can sanction and discipline them. But it’s a rough look to hide behind Trump’s private lawyers rather than respond, and there’s every reason to believe the judge will notice.

Remember: I know of no time in history when senior DOJ officials were accused of “fraud on the court.” Unthinkable. And they don’t even answer, but hide like rats? Not a good sign for the MAGA DOJ or for its sleazy top officials.
- SW
Here’s what’s interesting. The judge in her order invited a response into (a) whether DOJ policies were violated; (b) whether the parties colluded and deceived the court; and (c) the client (IRS’s) defense memo. DOJ’s silence is really deafening here, in the wake of that.

My mom and dad bought my childhood home in Plymouth with a GI loan. That's what a fair shot looked like then. Today it means cutting red tape to allow the private sector to build more affordable homes of all kinds, and lowering the cost of housing for Minnesotans.

Trump has now spent $2.6 billion in tax-payer money to kill offshore wind projects. These projects represented thousands of good union jobs, billions in economic development, and millions of homes worth of desperately needed electricity.

Donald Trump attacked child care funding and sent child care costs skyrocketing through the roof. When Democrats retake the majority, we will be ready on day one to take on the child care crisis and advance real solutions that help families access and afford the care they need for their children.

The rising cost of building homes has spurred an affordability crisis that has priced millions of Americans out of home ownership. Today, I spoke with the Illinois Realtors about how we can push federal legislation that would address America’s housing crisis.

Three days later and there’s still massive confusion about Trump's "understanding" with Iran. This is foreign policy by clown car. Trump must brief Congress, release the official text of the “understanding”, disclose any secret side deals to the public immediately, and end this war now.

Trump's tantrum is a threat to our national security. Pulte is a partisan goon who is so deeply unqualified to be Acting Director of National Intelligence. Keeping him in this position until Trump gets his way is dangerous and unacceptable.

To help keep everyone safe, I’ve introduced bipartisan bills to protect our drinking water infrastructure during periods of extreme temperatures and ensure extreme heat events are eligible for the same federal resources as other weather events.

Extreme heat waves are becoming more common in Nevada, and while we’re used to the heat, these scorching temperatures are dangerous. In fact, extreme heat is the deadliest weather condition.

The decision to go to war was never the President's to make. Senate Democrats have insisted that Congress play its constitutional role and stop these illegal and deeply harmful wars. Senate Republicans have now voted EIGHT times to shirk their duty and greenlight Trump's illegal war of choice.

Don't forget, Republicans SLASHED health care funding to afford tax breaks for the wealthiest people in our country. So while Americans go into debt to afford the life-saving care they need, Trump and his billionaire buddies are getting richer every day.

If spending alone guaranteed security, America would be the safest nation on earth. But the Trump administration has proven that the military industrial complex is not creating real security.
