Nobody is happy, from the businesses overseas to the Americans waiting on their packages. And it's all Trump's fault.

If Qatar want us to train their pilots, that's fine. That can be done in Qatar. I don't want Qatari Air Force pilots to be in control of military aircraft in US airspace in any circumstance. They're sympathetic to groups like Al-Qaeda and not trustworthy.

I’m signing SB 41 to lower health care costs for all Californians.

Alongside the 2025 budget and CalRx, this bill marks the most aggressive effort in the nation to drive down prescription drug prices, boost transparency, and ensure savings reach consumers and families.

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues.

This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.

Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.
