Last night, Israeli settlers set the historic Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh ablaze in an arson attack. When I traveled to the West Bank last year, I met with Taybeh residents advocating for dignity and security. Israeli authorities are failing to hold extremist settlers

Trump’s reckless actions abroad mean higher prices here at home.   Numbers don’t lie - his war tax on American families is being felt across our economy.   We’re sick and tired of it.

I've talked to farmers all across New Mexico, and nobody's “doing very well.” They're struggling to afford the basics because Trump's policies are driving up the cost of everything.

Welker: "Gas is up. Diesel is up." Trump: "It's all coming down as soon as the war's over." Welker: "70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer." Trump: "The farmers are doing very well." Welker: "What's your message to farmers?" Trump: "All of them support me."

Big Oil is stealing our summers. The fossil fuel giants knew for decades that their products would fuel extreme heat, wildfires, droughts, and stronger storms. Then they lied to block climate action anyway. Now we’re all paying the price.

In the West Bank, Palestinians are being cut off from water sources, from their orchards, from their vineyards. It’s unjust, and I’m pressing for the U.S. to act.

Just another blatant attempt by President Trump to try to take away a woman’s right to choose. Abortion medication is safe and effective, and if women want to use it, they should have the freedom to – without President Trump getting in the way.

Whatever information Pete Hegseth is trying to hide, reporters can probably find out if they wait long enough to accidentally be added to one of this regime’s Signal chats.

Trump repeatedly said he wouldn’t start wars. But it’s undeniable that he did. Something else undeniable: he’s pulled the U.S. into an unconstitutional war with Iran. I’m working to end Trump’s warmongering and rein in his illegal war.

The Administration that got us into a reckless war which has killed 13 Americans and made everything more expensive, is now asking the public to “trust” in Trump. They’re as delusional as they are incompetent.

Private equity invading the housing market means folks can’t afford to rent a home in their neighborhood and threatens to extinguish the dream of homeownership. I’m leading the charge to kick hedge funds OUT of our housing market. We have bipartisan momentum—let’s get it done.
