The President vs. every member of Congress COMBINED.

Guess who made more personal financial trades?

Donald Trump — with 28,000+ trades.

Stock trading by top government officials should be illegal—no owning, buying, or selling stocks.

If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032.

Not on my watch.

We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.

Hellmann's mayo
McCormick spices
Cholula hot sauce
Frank's RedHot

What do these products have in common? One company could soon control them all.

I have concerns that McCormick and Unilever's $45 billion merger could increase YOUR grocery prices.

NEW: Inflation data came in and Donald Trump’s failed economic agenda has raised prices for Americans by 5.9%.

That means families are paying $3,772 more thanks to inflation under Trump.

$75 barely covers a tank of gas, let alone a cart of groceries.

This inflation adjustment falls way short of making up for the high costs of Trump’s war with Iran and chaotic tariffs.

Congress needs to scrap the cap and expand benefits for our seniors.

NEW: The Congressional watchdog released a report on Trump’s dangerous cuts to HUD, the federal agency where Americans go for help with their housing.

The verdict: illegal funding delays, huge staff cuts leaving phones unanswered, and civil rights falling by the wayside.

A slap on the wrist for Bank of America.

CEO Brian Moynihan owes Congress answers, and we need a criminal investigation into the apparent violation of our anti-money laundering laws.

I’ve long said big bank CEOs should be held personally accountable if their banks break the law.

It's been 229 days since Netanyahu convinced Donald Trump to attack Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Fuel prices are higher than Russian missiles launched to attack Ukrainian elementary schools. The world is suffering, but there is no end in sight because three Egomaniacs are in control. #VOTE

Ukraine faces loss of key US-affiliated satellite support amid tensions between Trump and Zelenskyy

As the president's announcement of a partial ceasefire Sunday -- covering energy infrastructure in both countries -- failed to yield any limits to the fighting, he continued to apply public pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The U.S. government-owned satellite infrastructure used by Ukraine's military for drone navigation and air defense on Wednesday was not operating at its normal functionality, raising concerns that American support for Kyiv was ebbing. Zelenskyy said on a British television program Wednesday that his country was "losing a strong partner" in the United States, days after he said his military did not receive critical early warnings from partners of attacks that it had come to expect. Six people were killed in strikes in Ukraine on Wednesday, Zelenskyy said. A defense ministry official in Kyiv said overnight Wednesday that restrictions placed on Starshield, a satellite communications network owned by Elon Musk's...
