The federal government's foreign surveillance program needs to be reformed to protect both our national security & Americans’ civil liberties. We also cannot trust these intelligence powers in the hands of Bill Pulte, another Trump crony with no national security experience.

The latest inflation report shows what working families across the country have been feeling for months: prices are too high, budgets are squeezed, & paychecks don’t go as far. Trump's illegal tariffs & Congressional Republicans’ economic policies are directly increasing the

Trump took money from American families & small businesses with his illegal tariffs. Now the president is doing everything he can to avoid paying it back.  Congress needs to make it clear that these sweeping tariffs are illegal & ensure Americans get their refunds.

Republicans passed their latest budget. This bill does absolutely nothing to lower costs for families. Instead, it gives ICE another $70 billion with no strings attached & no reforms so they can continue terrorizing our communities.

Democrats just forced a vote to put an end to Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund. Every House Republican rejected it & voted to support your tax dollars going to cop beaters & right wing extremists. Despicable.

When Trump pardoned the January 6 cop beaters, he let violent criminals back into our communities. Since they were released, they’ve continued to commit heinous crimes like homicide, assault, & planning to assassinate law enforcement.

Secretary Bessent is responsible for exposing the sensitive financial data of millions of Americans. I repeatedly asked him what steps he’s taken to stop this from ever happening again. The secretary could not give a clear answer.

The president can’t handle any degree of accountability. Instead of answering fair questions about his lies, his failed policies, & the blatant corruption in his administration, he threw a tantrum. The American people deserve better from our leaders.

Everywhere you look, corruption has infested the Trump administration. In exchange for funding his gilded ballroom, the president rewarded donors with $50 billion in lucrative government contracts. It’s called pay-to-play.
Ballroom donors won $50B in contracts after giving to Trump project, watchdog group finds
