Every country should reject this “Board of Peace,” which comes with a $1 billion price tag and inevitable, long-term reputational damage.

Do we need to reform the UN? Yes. But reform should be rooted in cooperation and international law – and reflect today’s world, not 1945. It shouldn’t be replaced with a loyalty test to Donald Trump.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govJan 24(source)

Donald Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” is a joke. The man behind it has kidnapped the President of Venezuela, launched illegal military strikes, and threatened to take Greenland by force. And the invited members are a who’s who of human rights abusers.

Trump didn’t lower costs on Day 1 – he raised them. And now the damage to our economy could be permanent.

Liam is 5 years old. He wears a bunny ear hat and has a Spider Man backpack. He poses ZERO risk to anyone but ICE just detained him anyway. This is beyond sick. Another reason why I'm voting against today's DHS bill.

5-year-old asylum seeker detained as ICE expands enforcement in Minnesota

A 5-year-old boy was detained with his father by ICE agents in Minnesota in what some local officials say is the latest instance of heightened immigration enforcement.

In Trump’s first year, California families spent $2,300 more on average due to inflation (@jecdems.bsky.social) Trump promised to “end inflation” but instead, prices have gone up, his tariffs have made things even worse, and he doesn’t seem to care at all ⬇️

"Affordability is a con job by democrats"

Renaming the Department of Defense would cost taxpayers $125 million. Buying Greenland would cost $700 billion. Donald Trump just gave another $75 billion to ICE. They really don’t care about wasting your taxpayer dollars.

I think one of the best ways to honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy is to continue our work for justice for all – whether it’s protecting communities under attack by ICE, or pushing for economic, reproductive or environmental justice, or standing up to abuses of power.

Donald Trump is worsening our child care crisis, when 1 in 5 families are already cutting back on coverage or turning to worse options. We need more federal investment in child care (not less!) and a free, universal, and multi-modal system that works.

Parents are cutting back on child care as costs stretch budgets

Research shows 1 in 5 families face child care hardships because of the expense, with single mothers most affected.

In December, grocery prices rose at the fastest rate in three years – but Donald Trump is still calling affordability “a fake word by Democrats.”

Grocery prices see biggest spike since 2022 in December

The jump in costs highlights the challenge for the White House in the lead-up to midterm elections.

Less than 1% of the Epstein Files have been released – in violation of federal law. What is the DOJ hiding?

Raising kids and trying to keep them healthy is hard enough. Parents should be able to rely on HHS for trusted, science-backed information, especially about vaccines, but RFK Jr. is putting his fringe ideology first – which will ultimately hurt kids.

Doctors say changes to US vaccine recommendations are confusing parents and could harm kids

Doctors fear this week’s unprecedented changes to federal vaccine recommendations will stoke vaccine hesitancy even more, pose challenges for pediatricians and parents and ultimately lead to more illn...

We should keep Grok far, far away from the Pentagon. I’m incredibly concerned about the security vulnerabilities, risks to data privacy, conflicts of interest, and Grok’s continued and repugnant push of disinformation and antisemitism.

Musk’s AI tool Grok will be integrated into Pentagon networks, Hegseth says

Most Americans agree: ICE is making our communities LESS safe. ICE is a rogue agency – killing, hurting, and disappearing people with zero accountability. I’m fighting for actual guardrails to stop their lawlessness or I’m withholding my DHS budget vote.

Half of Americans think ICE is making American cities less safe, CNN poll finds | CNN Politics

Trump is more focused on taking over Greenland (which only 17% of Americans support) or buying it (which could cost a whopping $700 billion) than bringing down the cost of literally anything or improving your life in any way.

Just one in five Americans support Trump's efforts to acquire Greenland, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

Substantial majorities of Democrats and Republicans oppose using military force to annex the island.

@deluzio.house.gov and I literally have a bill to prevent this. Donald Trump is a tyrant and we need to stop him from deploying troops to American cities.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act, allowing him to deploy troops, to 'put an end' to protests in Minneapolis.

If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT

U.S. intervention in Iran would be lawless and reckless. It would most likely backfire, causing retaliation and civilian casualties, putting us in *another* endless quagmire, and making this about the U.S. rather than the desires of the Iranian people.

Iran warns of retaliation if Trump strikes, US withdraws some personnel from bases

Two European officials said U.S. military intervention could come in the next 24 hours. An Israeli official also said it appeared Trump had decided to intervene, though the scope and timing remained u...

FEMA has enough problems as it is helping communities recover after natural disasters, cutting 1,000 workers will make things worse.

Hear me out – instead of spending billions of American taxpayer dollars subsidizing Big Oil companies, we should invest in expanding affordable health care, housing, and child care.

Trump says the U.S. may reimburse oil companies for rebuilding Venezuela's infrastructure

Big oil firms will either "get reimbursed by us or through revenue," Trump told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
