Trump's illegal war in Iran has raised the average cost of owning a home by $30,000 & that's after his tariffs increased homebuilding costs by thousands. Trump & his HUD Secretary can dance around the facts, but their policies are pricing people out of the American Dream.

This week, Senate Republicans are trying to ram through the so-called SAVE America Act, a bill designed to make it harder for certain citizens to vote in order to rig elections in their favor. This is a fraud masquerading as an election integrity effort. We can't let this pass.
Trump's Budget Director admitted it: Trump & Republicans CHOSE to give big PERMANENT tax cuts to the rich, while the much smaller cuts for working Americans EXPIRE in 2 years. Their priorities are clear. We need a tax code that works for working people, not the super-rich.
Hegseth is once again blowing smoke. Trump's & Netanyahu's illegal war of choice has made Americans worse off. A strategic blunder of epic proportions leaving Americans less safe and facing higher costs. We know we cannot trust Trump. Congress must act & end this war for good.
I will not vote for another dime for Trump's war. This war is making us less safe. It's taken 13 American lives. Killed thousands of civilians. And is costing billions in taxpayer dollars. The best way to protect our troops, save lives, & end this war is to cut off funding.
As the civil war in Sudan enters its 4th year, the RSF continues to commit genocide with impunity. As I told this Trump official — if ending this genocide is a priority we need ACTION. To get results, the US must use our immense leverage to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF.
Today, a federal judge determined what we've known all along, the Trump admin was engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is a win for all our rights & the Constitution.
The last time Secretary Lutnick appeared before the Senate, I pressed him on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. On Feb 27th, @merkley.senate.gov & I sent him a letter asking him for certain records and to answer questions. He did not respond. The American people deserve transparency.
Trump's corruption has been well documented, but perhaps one of his most outrageous — and lucrative — schemes has been his personal meme coin. Since its launch, Trump has made over $200 MILLION from it while those everyday Americans who have invested have lost BILLIONS.
Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight. He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.
As Trump ramps up his threats of war against Cuba, we must understand what led us to this point: 65 years of a bankrupt Cuba policy. If we want to avoid war with Cuba, we must rein in this lawless President & learn from the failed, bipartisan policies that led us to this point.

Members of Congress asked about accountability. Bondi deflected and pointed to… the stock market. Justice isn’t measured by the Dow Jones. Survivors deserved truth but instead they got excuses and her performance for Dear Leader. Just pathetic.

5⃣ times Rhun ap Iorwerth failed to be straight with the people of Wales. Avoiding the question doesn’t make the risk go away. Plaid Cymru's independence plan would tear our nations apart and cost a staggering £7,000 per person.
I’ve represented this community for most of my career, and I’m proud of the change we’ve made together. From passing Utah’s nondiscrimination law, to fixing our homeless services system. This race isn’t about noise. It’s about impact.
