Pete Hegseth turned military readiness into a political stunt, and our servicemembers are paying the price. This outbreak was entirely foreseeable. Reckless decisions like these, based on nothing but anti-vaccination conspiracy theories, threaten our national security.

Overwhelming bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress approved this historic housing legislation. Instead of signing the bill and tackling the affordability crisis, Trump is holding it up to throw another temper tantrum about his failed voter suppression legislation.

BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP has canceled the signing of the housing bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. The stage is set in the Capitol. House GOP leadership is literally on stage right now touting the bill.

For months, my Democratic colleagues and I have forced vote after vote to put a stop to Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Today, Congress sent a united, bipartisan message to the President: the American people want to end this unwise and unnecessary war.

Our military protected the world from fascism and communism in the 20th Century. And now the Trump-Vance Administration wants to use our troops to protect a buffet!

You know who doesn’t think affordability is a hoax? Americans who are forced to pay ridiculously high prices at the pump because of Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran.

After lying by saying that the project would not cost taxpayers a dime, new documents show Trump’s Marie Antoinette-style ballroom will cost Americans over $300 MILLION. As families grapple with soaring costs, the President is focused on throwing parties.

Habeas corpus is a basic right that protects Americans from being unlawfully detained by the government. That Trump considered illegally suspending it in order to terrorize and detain immigrants without limit is a testament to his contempt for the law and our Constitution.
