In April, Republicans gave ICE $20 million for body cameras. Then in June, Republicans handed the agency another $38 billion. ICE doesn’t need another dollar, it needs to be held accountable for terrorizing our communities.
In 250 years, when future generations unearth the Congressional Time Capsule from beneath the U.S. Capitol, they’ll find this photo encapsulating what inspired Missourians in 2026. I was glad to lead the MO delegation in making this submission of Patrick Mahomes on behalf of our great state.
After multiple fatal immigration enforcement encounters in just one week, Trump chooses to double down, urging ICE to continue the very tactics now under intense scrutiny. Our communities deserve immigration policies that uphold both the rule of law and the dignity of human life.
Trump: "We CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important & effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won’t happen on my watch. ICE...go back and do your very important job"
The men and women of ICE are doing a GREAT job, one that has to be done. CRIME IS WAY DOWN IN AMERICA, in many cases with numbers that haven’t been seen in decades. The Open Border Policy of Sleepy Joe Biden allowed 25,000,000 people to pour into our Country, unchecked and unvetted. Many were Criminals, and we have to get them out. In order to do this, we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP! Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won’t happen on my watch. I.C.E., be judicious, fair and smart, and go back and do your very important job. Keep those Crime Stat Records coming! Remember, you are loved and respected in America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
$73 billion for war. $10 billion for election interference. $0 to reverse cuts to Medicaid. $0 to restore SNAP benefits to nearly 1.5M hungry kids. $0 to make life more affordable for you. The Republican budget tells you exactly where their priorities lie.
You don’t hire the President’s personal lawyer to be the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. The Department of Justice belongs to the American people, not President Trump. Todd Blanche has failed to demonstrate the independence this office demands. He should not be confirmed.
Americans are still paying the price for the President’s reckless economic decisions. Tariffs, an unnecessary war of choice, and rising costs aren’t just making headlines, they’re making groceries, utilities, and everyday life more expensive.
Tariffs are still grinding through supply chains, the Middle East war is keeping oil markets on edge, and a boom in AI infrastructure is driving up the cost of electricity. The result: prices may rise faster than normal for many months.
You can tell a lot about a government’s priorities by who it asks to sacrifice. It shouldn’t be hungry kids. But that’s exactly what the Republican-backed budget does.
I’m honored to receive the Carl A.S. Coan, Sr. Lifetime Achievement Award for Public Service from the National Housing Conference. This recognition reflects what can happen when we choose collaboration over division.
The power of the purse belongs to Congress. Taxpayer dollars are appropriated to serve the public, not to reward political allies or punish those who disagree with the President.
Last year, the Trump Administration terminated or froze nearly 4,000 research grants, totalling some $3 billion—only restoring about half after being sued by several institutions. A new proposal is poised to even further politicize research efforts. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/SrkuX-
We ask extraordinary things of our servicemembers. They shouldn’t pay the price for the President’s war of choice. The least we owe them is competent leadership, accountability, and answers.
Exclusive: Six soldiers died on day two of the Iran war in a drone strike on Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. Dozens more were wounded, some seriously. It's one of the war's costliest attacks for U.S. personnel — and survivors fear no one will be held accountable.
Americans want lower prices, affordable housing, and stronger communities, not another costly forever war abroad with a catchy nickname. Let's invest in America instead of inventing new missions abroad.
Trump: "We're going to hit [Iran] very hard and keep the Strait [of Hormuz] and probably run it. We will become the guardian of the Strait. Maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the Strait. And we should be reimbursed."
First your paycheck. Then your healthcare. Now your retirement.  It’s becoming a familiar pattern - fewer protections for workers, more opportunities for powerful interests. Working families deserve an economy that works for them, not another giveaway to Wall Street.
President Trump wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have: the right to hold an employer accountable when retirement savings are mishandled. Here's what you need to know 👇
We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.
