The Trump administration is further gutting the Department of Education and undermining special education and civil rights. Every student deserves a quality education, not chaos and uncertainty. This is a reckless decision that could hurt some of the most underserved students.

Trump further guts Education Dept. by shifting oversight of special ed, civil rights

The moves to the federal departments of Health and Human Services and Justice, respectively, would further dismantle an agency that President Donald Trump has vowed to close.

Trump and Musk’s DOGE “saved” $15 million by cutting a program dedicated to preventing the spread of screwworm. Now, there’s an outbreak infecting our beef and the administration is spending $1 BILLION. Peak incompetence.

Photo of Trump and Musk with a picture of cows overlayed and text that reads: "News: Trump and Musk cut $15 million parasite prevention program. Now they're spending $1 billion on an outbreak affecting U.S. beef."

You have to see this. Apparently more than half of Trump’s golden ballroom is being funded by TAXPAYER dollars. He lied. Republicans are cutting healthcare, while funneling millions to Trump’s ballroom. Unacceptable.

Records reveal $600M estimate for Trump’s ballroom project, with half from taxpayers

An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than Trump has said publicly and counters his claims that no taxpayer money will be spent.

Medicare for All is gaining even more support! These organizations know that our current healthcare system is broken and that healthcare should be a human right.

A group of people and Rep. Jayapal are holding signs advocating for Medicare for All. Above them, text states, "More than 335 organizations announce support for Medicare for All."

Giant corporations that pay nothing in federal taxes are investing big into politics. And the return on investment is HUGE — 3,000%. We need to get big money out of politics.

The Trump administration has now signed off on the Paramount-Warner Bros merger. This is corruption — from corporate lobbying, to the silencing of the media. It’s also clearly bad for our economy and consumers. States must continue to pursue every option to challenge this.

Justice Department approves Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros.

The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division signed off on Paramount’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros., allowing the blockbuster media merger to move forward.

Today is the 14th anniversary of the DACA program. Dreamers deserve to live here in their home without fear. Congress must pass permanent protections and pathways to citizenship.

ICE has no authority to detain U.S. citizens. But yet, Trump has let them operate lawlessly, and they have detained citizens for days and weeks at a time. I introduced an amendment to finally put an end to this.

The US is supposed to be welcoming people from across the globe for the World Cup. But thanks to Trump’s racist travel ban, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, a Somali referee, was denied entry to the country. This xenophobia is unacceptable.

Here are some of the emails I read in the Epstein files this week. Everyone involved in this ring of predators must be held accountable.

I am outraged by reports that the Trump Administration has attempted to raid the offices of legal service providers serving unaccompanied immigrant children. We cannot allow this behavior to go unchecked. My full statement:

In the Nation’s edition, recognizing America’s 250th anniversary, I wrote about how the American Dream that I have lived is out of reach for immigrants today. Read the full piece on my immigration story:

How I Became an American

My path to US citizenship was a long and difficult one.

Ten years ago, 49 people were killed at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. Today, as we honor the victims, survivors, and their loved ones, we also recommit ourselves to working to end gun violence, hate, and bigotry in all its forms.

Trump plans to deport over two dozen individuals to the Central African Republic, including two Iranian women with no criminal record who sought refuge in the US. This is absurd – the US officially advises against any travel there. This flight must be stopped.

Today, I toured the Epstein Reading Room with many of the courageous survivors who are lifting up the horrors of Epstein’s trafficking ring and fighting for accountability. If you’re in DC, you can visit this exhibit until Sunday. Reserve a time today: trumpsonian.us/rr

After all this talk about a supposed deal, Trump is threatening to hit Iran “very hard" and take control of their oil. This is exactly why the House passed a bipartisan resolution to stop this illegal war. ENOUGH.

Trump promised his “Board of Peace” would help rebuild Gaza. But Palestinians continue to be killed & there is ZERO transparency about the Board’s finances. I introduced an amendment to get answers & require documentation of civilian harm at any BoP sites funded by taxpayers.

Republicans called us up at the last minute to do yet another short term extension of FISA. Americans have made themselves clear — they want their basic right to privacy respected. I am a NO on the FISA Section 702 extension.
