Trump’s arch is a monumental waste of money. Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for this illegal vanity project. Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make sure YOUR tax dollars aren’t wasted on a monument to Trump’s ego.

I’m honored to receive the Distinguished Service Award from the Illinois Health and Hospital Association today. IHA and our hospital leaders are doing all they can to provide quality care to Illinoisans, and it’s been a privilege to be their partner in that effort.

After Trump’s devastating cuts to the ACA & Medicaid, millions are going to see their premiums skyrocket or lose coverage. Those shocks will raise costs for folks with employer-sponsored care, too. The health care system is broken – we need to move to universal coverage.

$13 million and counting. That’s how much one Wisconsin billionaire has given to Lisa Demuth’s Super PAC to try to buy her the governor’s office. From opposing prescription drug reforms to banning abortion, his agenda is a perfect match for Lisa Demuth – but not for Minnesota.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Trump’s reckless tariffs. Costly boondoggles that are skyrocketing costs for Main Street while Americans’ paychecks lose ground. Trump is more focused on golden ballrooms and helipads instead of making life more affordable for workers and families.

Trump's White House isn't backing off abortion bans. They're just hoping America doesn't notice until AFTER we've voted. NOTICE. SPREAD THE WORD. AND VOTE!

Millions have lost SNAP benefits because of senseless cuts in Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill.” Families are already struggling to afford groceries, and SNAP cuts will make it even harder to put food on the table. We must protect nutrition assistance for all who need it.

Trump, his family, and his friends can afford practically anything they want while we all squeeze our wallets. Trump's get richer, but we're paying the price.

While you had to pay up, Meta skirted almost $4 billion in taxes last year. How? By abusing a tax credit tied to its data centers. It's time to make corporations pay their fair share.

Today's the 8th anniversary of the brutal slaying of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, ordered by Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman. We cannot trust Saudi leaders, yet Trump wants to allow them to enrich uranium that could be used for nuclear bombs. Stop the deal.

The Egyptian govt has arrested & disappeared 6 journalists, with zero justification — the largest crackdown in years. Journalism is not a crime. The Egyptian govt must disclose their locations, provide access to their legal rights, & release all six immediately.

Eight years ago today, the Saudi government directed the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Virginia resident and journalist dedicated to shining a light on the truth. As we honor his memory and courage, we must fight for accountability and defend press freedom worldwide.

Anemic job numbers validate the anxiety many Americans are feeling about high costs. We should end the war in Iran now, reverse Trump’s disastrous tariffs, and build an economy that actually works for everyone.

Republicans have bent the knee to Trump at every turn: they let Trump raise taxes with his tariffs, start a costly war with Iran, and passed the largest health care cuts in history. A Senate Democratic majority wouldn’t roll over for Trump. We’d fight back to make life better and more affordable.

Thanks to Trump & Republicans' refusal to extend ACA tax credits, Marylanders will see their ACA premiums go up AGAIN in 2027. That's on top of rising copays & deductibles. They're gutting healthcare while they spend billions on an illegal war & tax cuts for the rich. Shameful.

I have been very clear on Trump's authoritarian playbook and the very real threats to our democracy. But recently, I visited Poland and Hungary, and I saw firsthand how they have taken the playbook to fight an authoritarian — a people’s playbook — and dusted it off to make it more relevant.

TODAY: New SNAP cuts are kicking in because of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." 5 million people have already lost food assistance, including 1.5 million+ kids since the bill was enacted. No kid deserves to go hungry so Trump can give his billionaire buddies another tax handout.

There is a well-worn authoritarian playbook: when a leader feels like they’re in trouble, they create a crisis that only they can solve. That’s my biggest concern as we get closer to the November elections. President Trump has been using every tool at his disposal to affect the outcome in November.

President Trump canceled over $800 million in funding that Congress approved and he signed into law. What was the funding for? Education, housing, small businesses, and health research. He wants ballrooms and arches for himself and cuts for everyone else.

A few years ago, a woman named Melissa wrote to me after I shared my own breast cancer story. She made an appointment after she heard what happened to me. They found a lump. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer — caught early, because she went in. Today, she’s cancer-free.
