Federal workers keep America running.

As the Trump-Vance administration continues their disgraceful attack on our federal workforce, using them as political pawns, I’m proud to stand with NTEU and our federal workers!

Rather than rein this warmongering president in, House Republicans are using Trump’s war of choice to force a vote to fund ICE and CBP without ANY reforms.

House Democrats have a bill to fund law-abiding DHS agencies, like FEMA and TSA, while negotiations continue- but Republicans are blocking it.

Secretary Noem has FAILED the American people:
❌Terrorizing communities across the country
❌Holding up billions in disaster relief funds
❌Spending millions of taxpayer dollars on a vanity ad campaign and luxury private jets

Yes, Mr. President, Kristi Noem must go!

Gas prices are set to increase amid Iran war. Here's what we know. What to know about increasing gas prices amid the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran and what it means for your wallet.

Americans are ALREADY paying more at the gas pump thanks to President Trump’s ill-conceived war of choice.

He promised to lower costs on day one and get our country out of wars. He has done the exact opposite.

Congress should END his war.

Donald Trump would rather spend an estimated $1,000,000,000 per DAY on a reckless war of choice than make health care more affordable for millions of Americans or fully fund SNAP food aid!

House Republicans are publicly cheering the Iran war. Privately, many are worried. One House Republican suggested Trump’s shifting rationale β€œsounds a little bit like President Lyndon Johnson going into Vietnam.”

Rather than working for working people, Trump gutted essential services and abused the IRS to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies.

As I told his IRS CEO at today’s @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing: β€œYou obviously are not doing what is necessary in the benefit for the American public.” πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

Ted Cruz asks Treasury to approve $200 billion tax cut without Congress Ted Cruz and Tim Scott urge Treasury Secretary to approve $200 billion tax cut on capital gains without congressional approval.

In Philly and beyond, working families are being crushed by this cost-of-living crisis.

But leave it to congressional Republicans to find yet another way to cut taxes for the Epstein class.

Americans urged to leave Middle East, but many airports are closed and embassy staff is reduced The State Department ordered the mandatory departure of non-emergency personnel and family members in six countries after the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was struck by two Iranian drones.

After starting a reckless, illegal war, Donald Trump and his administration have left Americans stranded in the Middle East and are only NOW just β€œworking” on plans to help get them home.

Their incompetence is staggering and has catastrophic consequences.

The President says this war could last four weeks.

Is this like when he said we would see his health care plan in two weeks?

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth!

This month and every month, let us celebrate the generations of women who shaped and strengthened our country for the better.

Let’s honor the legacy of these trailblazers by continuing to fight for justice and equality for all!

It’s Day 3 of this war, and President Trump & his administration have yet to answer the basic questions of β€œWhy now?” and β€œWhat’s next?” consistently or coherently.

I want to stop more troops or innocent civilians from being put in harm’s way and will vote for the bipartisan War Powers Resolution.

These escalations only put American lives, at home and abroad, at greater risk and drag our country towards another endless war.

The House and Senate must each vote on a War Powers resolution immediately to stop Trump's reckless warmongering. (2/2)

Iran Is Far From Building ICBMs, Experts Say, Despite Trump Warning The U.S. is demanding Tehran curb its missile ambitions, but Iran denies seeking an intercontinental ballistic missile.

I strongly disagree with VP Vance’s claim yesterday that there is β€œno chance” that military strikes would result in the U.S. becoming involved in an ill-conceived forever war.

I will vote for the War Powers Resolution when it comes to the House floor to rein this reckless administration in!

For Many Cash-Strapped Americans, β€˜Basic Living Has Become a Burden’

President Trump may think that he has β€œwon affordability.”

But it's HIS misguided policies that are currently raising grocery and health care bills for working families across the country.

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

This is a blatant cover-up- and in clear violation of the bill the president signed into law last year.

Donald Trump is more interested in protecting himself than bringing accountability and justice for the Epstein survivors.

Release ALL the files now!

Dr. Constance E. Clayton made history as the first Black and first female superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia. A preeminent educator, she relentlessly believed in what students could achieve.

Read NPR's annotated fact check of President Trump's State of the Union As President Trump delivered his State of the Union address, reporters from across NPR's newsroom, are fact checking his speech and offer context.

And when he did, he was often wildly out of touch with many Americans' reality: www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

In the longest State of the Union speech in history, President Trump didn't make the rising costs of health care and groceries a priority.

He spent less than 7 minutes COMBINED talking about health care and affordability.
