America is not building enough housing and Americans are facing sky-high housing costs as a result.

Today, the Senate took a historic step to change that.

The ROAD to Housing Act will help communities – urban, suburban, and rural – build more housing and bring down costs.

The President of the United States is openly seeking revenge on his political opponents.

First Jim Comey. Now Tish James. Anyone who seeks to hold Donald Trump accountable could be next.

Trump is ripping a page right out of the authoritarian handbook.

Donald Trump wants to sell YOUR student loan debt to Wall Street.

He's not looking out for you — he's looking to make his CEO buddies more money off of your back.

Trump administration considers sale of federal student loan debt

The discussions have taken place among senior Education Department and Treasury Department officials.

@vanhollen.senate.gov and I met with federal workers who were unnecessarily fired — and we talked about what's at stake in this government shutdown.

Here's the short of it: Democrats will not stop fighting to save health care and lower costs for families.

I agree with Donald Trump:

Trump is not the right leader for his moment.

Graphic where Senator Warren says: In 2013, Trump himself said, about a potential government shutdown, quote:

Then, a Donald Trump quote: “if there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together.”

Senator Warren says: Donald Trump today should take a hint from Donald Trump yesterday.

Since Day One, Donald Trump has made it harder for families to get help from the IRS.

Now, he's using the Republican shutdown to gut the IRS even more.

Billionaires get tax breaks while families have their health care ripped away.

I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer.

Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.

What happens now that Republicans shut down the government?

- Federal workers stop getting paid
- Air travel could be delayed
- Food inspection services may be delayed
- Head Start services may be disrupted
- Passport + Visa applications could slow
- National Parks may shut down

I'm about to vote on the SAME Republican budget proposal for the 6th time.

Why?

Instead of working with Democrats to lower health care costs, Republicans are forcing us to vote over and over again on a budget that would let 15 million Americans lose their coverage.

Housing is too expensive to build and too expensive to afford.

Donald Trump's solution? Make it even MORE expensive with his chaotic tariffs.

Americans can't afford Donald Trump's housing market.

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump?

DoD official responds: Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department.

Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute.

These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.
