Republicans may be willing to hand over their constitutional duties to a lawless president, but I won’t cave to his blackmail.
We’re ready to keep the government open, protect health care for Americans, and stop Trump from getting a blank check. Republicans? They serve only Trump.

A political opponent is using Mikie Sherrill's illegally released military record to smear her service. As a 20-year Army veteran & former West Point ethics instructor, Lt Col (Ret.) Casey Moes wants to set the record straight about her honor and integrity. Watch this!

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.
Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again, says John Grosso.
Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up.
Cardinal Dolan joins the Catholic right's ever growing quest to lionize the late Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.
Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.
It's shameful and dangerous.
I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.
