As thousands of Americans struggle to make ends meet as a result of the government shutdown, Donald Trump is once again using the DOJ as a tool to punish his political opponents.

The American people deserve a leader who works for them, not one obsessed with revenge.

If public servants across the country aren’t getting their paychecks, members of Congress shouldn’t either.

I’m deferring my salary until Republicans come to the table in good faith, do their jobs, and end Trump’s government shutdown.

I’ll keep fighting for a bipartisan deal to end this shutdown. It’s time for Republicans to get serious and finally put our country before politics.

At midnight, Republicans chose government shutdown over bipartisan solutions. They walked away from a chance to work with Democrats to keep the government open and health care affordable for every American.

Today’s speeches by Trump and Hegseth were weak portrayals of “leadership” by two small, insecure men.

US cities should never be “training grounds” for the military. There is no “enemy from within.”

The reputational and operational damage being done to our military will take years to undo.

Hegseth’s crusade to politicize every aspect of serving your country makes us weak and feckless, which is exactly how insiders describe his Pentagon “leadership.”

Under Hegseth, serving while female or serving while Black is not allowed, but criminally sharing classified info with your wives (and being unable to do a pull-up) is rewarded with your own private makeup studio.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party are hellbent on silencing any speech that hurts their feelings. This isn’t just cancel culture, it’s state censorship. And it has no place in our democracy.

My thoughts are with the family of Charlie Kirk, especially his wife and two children. As a father of two young girls myself, I can’t imagine what they’re going through tonight.

Political violence of any kind has no place in our country. We also should get serious about addressing the root causes of this violence, or it will only continue to grow.

Without workers, America stops. Nurses, teachers, truck drivers, grocery clerks: you are the backbone of this country.

Labor Day isn’t just a celebration of how far we’ve come. It’s a commitment to fair pay, safer workplaces, and dignity on the job.

Trump loves to call himself a tough guy, but when kids are being slaughtered in churches and classrooms, he can’t even stand up to the NRA. That’s not strength—it’s called cowardice.

After standing with Teamsters Local 25 yesterday, I came home to my daughter wearing her favorite shirt.

She already understands how important their work is. It’s time Republic Services figured it out too.
