Call me crazy, but I believe our Director of National Intelligence should have some experience with national intelligence.

Americans have paid $53 billion more for gas and diesel because of the Iran war, but Treasury Secretary Bessent just said inflation is a “blip.” Not for families paying at the pump.

As Trump wages war on our elections: @democrats.senate.gov's Election Protection Task Force is gearing up with lawyers and response teams the moment he tries to interfere. The GOP is already ignoring your bills, wages, health care, and freedom—we won’t let them ignore your vote too.

After seeing a dad put back grapes because they were too expensive, I was inspired to try and make things better for families across Delaware. That's what government exists to do: make life easier - not harder - for people. This is a sign Trump's leadership is failing us.

Thank you to @cwaunion.bsky.social for bringing together workers from across the country to fight for their rights in the age of AI. I am proud to stand with workers and say NO to robot bosses and NO to spying on employees. The future of work must be one where AI stands for All Included.

I trust Trump about as far as I could throw him. Congress needs to BAN any kind of corrupt slush fund like this from EVER existing. A wink and a nod won't cut it—we need to ban it by LAW.

Scott Pelley is one of the most respected journalists in America. He was fired because he's focused the truth. The leaders of CBS are focused on keeping President Trump happy. Suppressing reporters because the president finds it inconvenient is a sign of a democracy in crisis.

Owning a home shouldn't be a luxury. But for a lot of Arizonans right now it feels completely out of reach, and it's even harder when Wall Street can buy up whole neighborhoods and price working families out of their own communities.

Can you be more out of touch? This administration has literally made everything more expensive with tariffs and war. Yet they have the audacity to turn around and tell you everything is great.

The Acting Attorney General — and Trump’s criminal defense lawyer — claimed that he had settled Trump’s suit against the IRS by holding Trump, his family and businesses immune from audit. That would protect $100 million of the president’s potentially fraudulent tax claims. 🧵

SCOTUS just cleared an Alabama redistricting map that just 3 years ago a federal court ruled was illegal racial gerrymandering. Even after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, judges still said this map was unconstitutional. But SCOTUS is allowing it for this election. Corrupt.

“Two people characterized the work as among the most delicate that the Pentagon performs.” This administration thinks a convicted Jan. 6 rioter should be doing that kind of work?????

Trump says he only hires the best people. Yet his administration just hired a convicted Jan 6th rioter to work inside a Pentagon office that manages highly classified military operations. If you attack the Capitol, you should NEVER get a government paycheck or a taxpayer payout.

The contrast is clear: The GOP is fighting for Trump and his corrupt slush fund, his ballroom, a rogue police force, and his reckless war in Iran. While Democrats are fighting to lower costs for Americans, bring back stability, and pushing against Trump’s corrupt administration.

Reminder: We had a deal with Iran to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump tore it up and went to war.

Multiple judges ruled that Alabama’s maps discriminated based on race. Yet the Supreme Court is bending over backwards to let them stand. This court will do anything to help Republicans stay in power. No matter the cost. They have lost all semblance of impartiality.

Everyone should be able to get affordable health care close to home. But after Trump and Republicans passed the largest health care cuts in American history and refused to extend the ACA tax credits, rural communities are being hit the hardest. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/06/01/w...

Happy Pride Month! This month is important for many reasons but for me, it’s impossible not to think about my mom. She came out in the 1980’s — though I’m not sure she would have called it coming out, since we hid it from most people in suburban Detroit at that time.

The President's nominee for the Director of National Intelligence has never handled classified information, never been in a national security role, and we're not even sure if he's had a security clearance. He is not qualified for this job, and shouldn't even be there in an acting position.

This fight isn't over. We need law, not promises. And remember: Trump's settlement forces the IRS (that he controls) to drop ALL audits of Trump, his family and businesses. Dropping one of those audits could save Trump $100 MILLION. I have a bill to stop this corruption.

DHS is on track to break last year's record for people dying in its custody. ICE agents tear gassed a U.S. Senator last week. I'm not writing a blank check to an agency that is engaged in nonstop brutality and abuses of power.
