The risk of Iran secretly developing a nuclear weapon has INCREASED since the U.S. attacked Iran. Trump and Netanyahu have made the world a much more dangerous place.

Yesterday, Republicans scrambled to cancel a vote on the War Powers Resolution—because they knew it would've passed. Republicans are choosing blind loyalty to Trump over doing what they know is best for the American people.

Trump's $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' may be the clearest example of corruption in his administration yet.

Gas, diesel, and grocery prices are skyrocketing—and Trump doesn't care.

Trump’s war with Iran is hurting your wallet, and his administration has no plan to bring costs down.

We need technical experts negotiating with Iran, not real estate dealers.

Americans are keeping track of Trump's broken promises—and they're not happy.

20 7

Congress must provide checks and balances on this administration and rein in Trump.

Last night, I left the classified briefing on Trump's war in Iran and heard nothing about a plan to meaningfully address Iran's nuclear capabilities. Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium should be the administration's primary focus. That is clearly not the case.

Back in June, Congress did not receive a clear answer from the Trump administration about the status of Iran’s stockpile of weapons-usable enriched uranium. Now, after these strikes, nuclear negotiations with Iran have effectively collapsed.

After U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last June, the Trump administration claimed Iran’s nuclear capabilities were eliminated. But they did not confirm the destruction of the materials needed to build an actual nuclear weapon.

It looks likely that Trump is going to have to find a way to pay U.S. businesses and consumers back for the illegal tariffs he has collected. As a start, I would suggest rescinding the $70 billion being wasted on ICE.

I'm about to sit down for the State of the Union address. People like my guest Suzanne know how our nation's health care crisis is impacting Americans across the country. Under Republican control, it has only gotten worse.

My guest to the State of the Union address is Suzanne Hoban. She runs the Family Health Partnership Clinic and provides care to uninsured adults. As our nation's health care crisis worsens under Republican leadership, we should be listening to people like Suzanne who are on the frontlines.

RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist with zero medical qualifications. His hostility towards vaccines and cuts to HHS research funding are pushing scientific breakthroughs further into the future, making our public health worse off. I've said it before and I'll say it again: He should resign.

Last month, I spoke on the House floor to sound the alarm on the expiration of the New START Treaty. Today, the last remaining limits on the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals have disappeared, and we are now more vulnerable to nuclear escalation than at any point in the last fifteen years.

Every Republican administration since Reagan has weakened the dollar and killed manufacturing jobs. Trump is no exception. No matter how Secretary Bessent tries to spin it, the numbers don't lie.

It has officially been one year of Trump back in office. He swore that by today, electricity bills would have dropped by 50 percent. Not only did he fail to deliver on that promise, electricity bills have gone up.

Attacking the Federal Reserve endangers the American economy. The Trump administration must drop their sham investigation and quit their assault on the Fed's independence.

Farmers are struggling because Trump's tariffs have cut them off from their export markets—and a $12 billion, taxpayer-funded bailout is not going to solve that problem.

25 10

House Democrats are forcing a vote to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing. Here's what that means.

Under Trump, science funding has plummeted across the board. Here's why you should be on high alert.

Open enrollment begins today. Because of Republican inaction, millions of Americans are facing health insurance premiums that have doubled or even tripled. It’s time for Republicans to cut their vacation short and work with Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits that keep coverage affordable.

SNAP will run out of money by the end of this week. Trump can prevent this, but he simply doesn't want to. I joined my Democratic colleagues in demanding Trump and Secretary Rollins use money already approved by Congress to fund SNAP through November so that families don't go hungry.
