Americans don’t need lectured about “patience”. They need relief. The Trump administration promised to lower costs on day one – yet families are still paying more for groceries, housing, and healthcare while Republicans focus on tax breaks for billionaires.
Vice President JD Vance argued voters should have patience with the pace of economic improvements, saying there was “no way” the Trump administration would have been able to quickly reverse Biden-era cost of living setbacks.
The Constitution is clear: Congress has a role in decisions of war and peace. Any escalation with Iran must come with strategy, transparency, and congressional authorization. I will be voting YES on the War Powers resolution today to rein in Trump’s illegal war.
Donald Trump must find a way to cut short his ill-considered conflict with Iran. His rash approach is sowing chaos econ.st/3OYibZ1
Tens of thousands of Epstein files kept out of public view while allegations involve the President? The American people deserve full transparency.
The Justice Department has withheld thousands of documents from the Epstein files, including FBI documents that detailed a woman’s unverified allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump, according to a review by WSJ. on.wsj.com/4crnNVt
House Republicans are using President Trump’s war with Iran to attempt to force Congress to fund ICE and CBP without substantial reforms despite their policies of harassing, detaining, beating, and killing American citizens.
Thousands of Americans stranded abroad, and the President admits there was no evacuation plan.  No imminent threat. No strategy. Just reckless decision-making, costing American lives and billions of taxpayer dollars.
I joined colleagues in calling on the State Department to use all available resources – including charter flights & coordination with allies – to help stranded Americans return home safely and quickly.
Terminating union contracts and gutting enforcement doesn’t make taxes more fair, it lets billionaires off the hook and punishes the people who help everyday Americans file and pay what they owe.
100 days to go until the FIFA World Cup comes to the U.S. With matches, fan events, and visitors from around the world, this tournament will be a major moment for Kansas City and a chance to showcase our heartland hospitality on a global stage.
Instead of ensuring American safety and strong diplomatic footing, we see the consequences of starving our foreign service at the very moment it’s needed most. The American people shouldn’t pay the price for ideological budget slashing.
