Flight get cancelled? Trump says that's fine with him.

Trump just made flight delays even more miserable, cancelling a Biden program to require customers get compensated for delays.

His whole life he's been on private planes, he doesn't care.

Legislation to release the full Epstein Files is now law — but this fight isn’t over.

Trump and his DOJ will try to redact and cover up to protect themselves and their rich buddies. We’ll keep pushing for the truth and justice.

Trump is driving federal student loan costs UP by:

Firing workers who resolve repayment issues

Rejecting or not processing millions of affordable repayment applications

Weakening protections for scammed borrowers

Refusing to process debt relief for students with disabilities

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

President Trump, I am calling on you to fire Secretary Kennedy immediately.

He has contributed to this measles outbreak by spreading falsehoods about vaccines.

His reckless rhetoric will cost lives.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

When you see Donald Trump's government, a government that works great for those with money and connections and doesn’t work for anyone else, that’s corruption—plain and simple.

This isn’t about Democrats or Republicans—it’s about protecting victims. Spare me the partisan games.

Right is right, wrong is wrong. If you believe in law and order, you should want every trafficker and enabler exposed so survivors can finally get the justice they deserve.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates’ heinous crimes deserve justice. Enough is enough. This floor vote is long overdue. Release the files.

We seriously have Republicans talking about going back to the “good old days” of high-risk pools, which just meant that people with preexisting conditions like cancer couldn’t get health insurance.
Tom Emmer: "You're gonna have to create high risk pools again. Just go back where Minnesota was before the ACA."

This is another example of what has become one of the most dangerous — yet underreported — aspects of the Trump Administration: they fire people who tell the truth.

This is absurd and plainly illegal. The courts should reject this fringe theory.

But the real news here is Trump will do anything to try to kill an agency that has returned more than $21 billion to scammed Americans, but he'll do nothing to lower costs for American families.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

This is what premiums spike to for a man with cancer who is a taxi driver in AZ (met his son). This is Ambetter, operated by private health insurer Centene. It's why we need to extend the ACA credits & fight for Medicare for All.

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)

Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.
The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”
