Fact check: President Trump has NOT ended the war in eastern DRC. Also: Egypt and Ethiopia were not at war and President Trump has not brokered any deal to end the tensions between them.

Two countries signed a peace deal in Washington. On the ground, little has changed | CNN

In the mineral-rich eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, new recruits are being trained for battle – and US President Donald Trump’s claimed peace deal for the nation feels like a distant dream.

If publicly pressuring the U.S. Attorney General to leverage the Justice Department to prosecute political opponents isn’t authoritarian, what is?

Trump publicly pushes Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political foes

Alongside the extraordinary demand, the president also named his former defense attorney late Saturday to replace the head of a key prosecutor’s office he forced out a day earlier.

President Trump and the Republican Party have really lost the plot on lowering costs. Trump is too busy cutting taxes for billionaires, slapping on tariffs, getting rich off crypto, and seizing power to care about you. This is Trump’s economy – not yours.

Many Americans can’t buy homes, get jobs or move in this stuck economy

Many Americans feel stuck economically due to high borrowing costs, fewer job openings and uncertainty.

The Trump Administration has refused to send a bipartisan congressional delegation to the UN this year — blocking my official participation but not my Republican counterpart’s. This isn’t the strong showing of unity and cooperation that we need at the UN.

It was so fun meeting the 4th graders at Foster Elementary School! They were so engaged and excited to talk about the three branches of government and my job as a Member of Congress, which they're learning about in social studies.

It was great to celebrate 20 years of College-Rolando Branch Library! Our public libraries are institutions of democracy, inclusion, and free thought where people of all kinds can build community. We need great libraries like this one now more than ever.

A lesser-known benefit of Medicaid was that it helped people find and stay in stable housing. Republicans just gutted Medicaid – potentially pushing more people into homelessness.

Trump’s Medicaid Cuts Could Hamper Efforts to House the Homeless

HALF of all children in the U.S. get their health insurance through Medicaid. Families with kids already dealing with medical conditions will now have to face losing insurance and care after Republicans’ passed their Big Ugly Law and gutted Medicaid.

She was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 11. Trump’s Medicaid cuts could end her life-saving treatment

Half of all US children are covered through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (Chip), making kids particularly vulnerable under the new Republican budget

70 million people with disabilities and serious medical conditions receive in-home care assistance they otherwise could not afford without Medicaid. This is about survival AND quality of life. By gutting Medicaid, Republicans' Big Ugly Law threatens both. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Text reads: Medicaid has been a godsend that Bolduc says lets her family enjoy a good quality of life, despite the medical challenges. “We have friends and family. We interact with neighbors. We have our dogs. We have a good life despite our challenges,” she says.

“And we provide employment for five people who work as attendants for Bruce and Tiffany. While I provide the vast majority of Bruce’s care and oversee Tiffany’s care, I simply cannot provide that level of care without help. And all of their attendants would lose their job.”

The potential gutting of Medicaid is terrifying to Bolduc. [yellow highlight begins] “Without Medicaid, I honestly don’t know how we would survive. Bruce would die within months,” [yellow highlight ends] she says.

I was happy to join folks at Ward Canyon Park for a community cleanup last weekend. Thanks to SD City Councilmember @seanelorivera.bsky.social for organizing this alongside several great organizations!

Guess my Republican colleagues didn’t think this one through.

This isn’t cancel culture – it’s state-sanctioned censorship. The President of the United States should know and respect that our First Amendment protects speech even if he doesn’t agree with it. If Jimmy Kimmel can be fired, you can be too.

Disney's ABC pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after FCC chair criticizes the host's Charlie Kirk comments

The network confirmed it is "indefinitely" pulling the show.

24 million people on ACA health insurance plans will see their costs go up by up to 75% next year – unless Republicans join Democrats in Congress to extend the ACA premium tax credit. For many, this tax credit is the difference between having health care and not.

Why your health insurance may soon cost a lot more

Millions will be paying substantially more for health insurance next year, according to multiple surveys. Insurers cited tariffs and demand for obesity drugs.

Grocery prices are up, tariffs are piling on, job numbers are down – and Trump is too busy lining his own pockets with crypto schemes to care.

Grocery prices rise at the fastest pace since 2022 as Trump tariffs bite

On the campaign trail, Trump promised lower grocery prices.

1 in 4 military families report infertility (higher than the national average). That’s why I'm fighting to expand military health care coverage of IVF and fertility treatments for our service members and their dependents.

Rep. Sara Jacobs pushes to make fertility treatment accessible for military families

She paid thousands to freeze her eggs, and is working to get IVF procedures covered for troops.

Health care costs are rising and Republicans in Congress are making it worse. They voted to gut Medicaid and have (so far) failed to extend the ACA premium tax credits that help millions of working families afford health insurance. We need action now.

Health care inflation rises as patients, employers brace for biggest jump in health spending in 15 years

Health care inflation is rising, helping to fuel what is expected to be the biggest rise in employer health spending in 15 years in 2026.

Quick question: is pushing 1 million people into poverty making America great again?? Just curious.

Your health care premiums could go up by 75% next year. Here's what we can do to stop that.
