I had a great time stopping by Bolt's Grocery Store in Lake Benton and meeting owners Bill and Kelly Bolt. With groceries, a cafe, and a bait shop all under one roof, Bolt’s is a vital community hub. We need to support local grocers in rural Minnesota. www.lincolncountynews.net/article/801,...

As someone who has been the target of the President’s attacks, it’s important to recognize who he intends to help with this $1.8 billion slush fund of taxpayer dollars.

Of all the things our men and women in uniform put up with in the middle of a war... Being used to stroke Trump's ego at his ridiculous UFC birthday party should not be on that list.

Not taking Blanche’s word for it. Congress must kill this corrupt “anti-weaponization” slush fund so every Republican is on record. And Congress must revoke the extraordinary immunity from tax audits and prosecution that Blanche says still protects Trump, his family & associates.

Trump couldn’t find the money to help working families afford SNAP or Medicaid, but he was more than willing to create a $1.8 billion slush fund for cop beaters and insurrectionists. Proud to have joined @commoncause.org and @citizensforethics.org today to call out this blatant corruption.

President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence should concern every American. The intelligence community is supposed to provide accurate and objective intelligence, free of any political interference.

Pulte has absolutely no national security or intelligence experience, yet he's been entrusted with overseeing our national security. Let’s hope Mr. Pulte has more success in his new role than he has at addressing housing affordability.

I’m glad to see Todd Blanche affirm that Trump is abandoning the $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund… but talk is cheap. We must pass a law banning this kind of open corruption so there’s no way for Trump to EVER get away with it.

Sorry but this is INSANE. Withdrawing CBP officers from airports in "blue" cities isn't just dangerous—it would mean a national economic crisis, in red AND blue states.

Bill Pulte has zero intelligence experience. He’s spent the bulk of his time in government targeting Trump’s enemies. As always, Trump is choosing loyalty over national security. That puts all of us at risk.

A man who physically attacked the seat of our nation's government cannot be trusted to uphold that nation's secrets. This is just the latest incident of the Trump administration putting slavish devotion over competence, and Americans will be less safe because of it.

When asked about negotiations with Iran, Donald Trump said he “couldn’t care less” and called them “very boring.” Our men and women in uniform deserve a Commander in Chief who understands the consequences of war and takes them seriously. Shame on you.

For us Michiganders, Canada isn’t just an ally — they’re our cousins. It’s in our economic and national security interest to treat our neighbors — with whom we share bonds, family, experiences and especially... hockey — with respect. Not this.

Tina Peters left prison exactly as she entered it: repeating the same debunked lies and conspiracy theories that got her there. No remorse. Just lies. I will keep fighting to protect our democracy and stop Trump’s taxpayer-funded slush fund before a single dollar is paid out.

President Trump has cut millions of dollars and thousands of jobs dedicated to help prepare America for another global pandemic. Has he learned nothing from Covid-19? We can’t just sit around and hope another pandemic doesn’t hit.

Let's be clear: Bill Pulte has zero background for this job. He won Trump's favor by weaponizing our govt against Trump's political foes. As America’s most powerful intelligence official, he can do incalculable harm. This should be a non-starter.

This morning, I called out this administration’s cuts to our maritime industry and research efforts. Hours later, they announced another hit. These never-ending cuts threaten the safety of our coastal communities and their economies.

There is still no endgame for the war in Iran and American people are paying the price—at the grocery store and at the gas pump. Yet, President Trump doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the affordability concerns of the American people.

Turns out driving up prices, starting endless wars, lying to working families, setting up a taxpayer-funded slush fund for criminals, and profiting off the backs of the American people isn't so popular.

American families have now paid $100 BILLION in higher costs because of Trump's war in Iran. Trump promised no new wars and lower prices. He's delivered an endless war and higher prices.

The 25 richest Americans paid pay an average tax rate of 3.4 percent. A teacher pays more than that. So does a waitress, a plumber, a nurse. Here’s how they pull it off, and here’s how my bill is going to stop it. 👇

Bill Pulte appears to be unburdened by intelligence or any semblance of ethics. His appointment at ODNI is one more reason every single Democrat should vote against rubber stamping the Trump administration's FISA Section 702 spying powers.

A school district in Oregon is spending about $30,000 a week on fuel for buses — $6,400 more per order than in February. Some schools might have to cut staff just to keep up with their energy bills. Trump's policies are costing families.

As someone who helped set up the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, I oppose elevating Bill Pulte to Acting Director. He has no experience. Zero. And he is the wrong choice to help keep us safe.

It doesn’t matter what problem you want to tackle — money in politics stands in the way of solving any of it. The best thing we can do to make Washington work better is: 1. Ban stock trading in Congress 2. Get corporate PACs and dark money out of politics

Pulte only got the job as acting Director of National Intelligence because he’s clearly willing to pursue baseless retribution against Trump’s perceived political enemies. What a joke – or at least it would be if this wasn’t such a serious job. Absolutely zero credibility.

President Trump promised to lower prices for Americans struggling with high costs, but we’ve seen just the opposite. From tariffs to his war in Iran, the President is driving grocery costs sky-high, and unfortunately, the worst may be yet to come. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump wants to give 2,000 nuclear bombs worth of weapons-ready plutonium to private companies including Oklo, where Energy Secretary Wright served on the board. This is a clear conflict of interest and dangerous for our security. Trump must cancel this plan now.

Bill Pulte has zero qualifications to serve as Director of National Intelligence. He’s abused his current post to target the President's political opponents. Our national security is too important to put someone like Pulte in charge.

Ground beef now costs about $7 a pound at the grocery store — that’s a record high. As families grapple with higher prices, the White House seems focused on everything but lowering costs.
