For over 50 years, the Endangered Species Act has helped iconic species like the bald eagle recover from the brink of extinction. On Endangered Species Day, we celebrate these conservation successes and work to protect the richness and diversity of America’s wildlife.

I’ve said it before, and I will continue to say it: Mifepristone is safe, effective, and access to it is a right. While the recent SCOTUS order is a victory, it’s temporary. And I will not stop fighting until access is fully restored.

Moments ago the Supreme Court preserved access to mifepristone as this case continues. Mifepristone was safe and effective when the FDA first approved it over 25 years ago, and it has been safe and effective since. apnews.com/article/supr...

This is just stealing money from American taxpayers and giving it to Trump's supporters, including many who were convicted of heinous crimes in a court of law. Open theft and grand larceny on a massive scale from the most corrupt president in history. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

This is so corrupt. Trump is buying and selling stock in companies as he makes decisions that affect their stock prices. We must ban stock trading by Members of Congress AND senior Administration officials including the President. Just look at what happened here: www.notus.org/money/donald...

NEW: I just introduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation with Senator Cramer, Congressman Kelly, and @coons.senate.gov that would update the tax code to support charitable giving. Read more about the Charity Parity Act here: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Trump is considering stealing billions of dollars from the American people. He's already the most corrupt president ever by a wide margin, but this would be fraud and theft on a scale even he has never attempted. The largest single act of grand larceny in American history.

The guests on today's show, kicking off at 11am ET: Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA) Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) Policy deserves a conversation. Watch at 535.news

Nearly two-thirds of the men deported by the Trump Administration have lived in the U.S. for years with no criminal records. They are fathers who’ve been ripped apart from their families, leaving mothers to carry the financial and emotional burden on their own.

@raskin.house.gov released a new staff report revealing how the Trump Administration’s mass deportation policies are interfering with criminal prosecutions across the country, allowing perpetrators to evade accountability while depriving victims and their families of justice.

We can tell.

As costs for everything from gas to groceries to health care continue to skyrocket, Americans are taking on credit card debt to make ends meet. All while Trump is focused on getting taxpayers to fund his billion dollar ballroom. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/b...

As the American people suffer higher prices inflicted on them by Trump's foolish, unpopular war, Republicans in Washington – who keep voting to continue the war – are preparing to spend a billion dollars in taxpayer money on a fancy ballroom. Unreal. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

NEW: US CPI inflation rose to 3.8% year-on-year in data released this morning, hitting the highest level since 2023 while increasing 0.6% month-on-month Core CPI inflation rose to 2.8% year-on-year, increasing 0.4% month-on-month

See if you can spot the effects of the Iran war.

“Inflation surged to 3.8% in April, its highest level in nearly three years, according to data released Tuesday, as the war in Iran causes a ripple effect across the economy and energy prices surge.” www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

The richest country in the world shouldn’t have families wondering how they’ll eat – but after the massive SNAP cuts enacted by Trump and Republicans, millions are struggling to put food on the table. “We’re eating less. We’re eating more frozen stuff.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

On Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we recognize the sacrifices military families make in service to our nation. I’m proud to lead bipartisan, bicameral legislation to expand job opportunities for military spouses and support our military families. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms whose love and support make such a difference in our lives. Today we celebrate and thank you for all that you do!

Trump promised his tariffs would spark an “economic boom” but instead, small businesses are getting hammered. After 13 straight months of job losses, small businesses have lost 4.5x more jobs in 2025 than during the COVID pandemic. That’s the reality of Trump’s tariff chaos.

Congress never authorized Trump’s ridiculous Marie Antoinette ballroom in the White House any more than we authorized his disastrous war of aggression in Iran. The White House now wants $1 billion from the American people for his self-chosen billionaires’ ballroom. Absolutely absurd.

This Public Service Recognition Week, I'm deeply grateful for the dedicated public servants who keep our country running. They deserve our gratitude and respect, not political attacks, mass firings, and efforts to undermine their work.

NEW: Infectious disease experts are concerned the CDC and NIH aren’t doing enough to respond the hantavirus outbreak. “This, to me, not overstating it, is a travesty,” one said. More here: www.notus.org/health-scien...

9,000 schools across the country are being affected by a massive hack right now that is shutting down Canvas during finals week for millions of American students (including me).

Trump’s tariffs are an illegal tax on the American people. That was true of the tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court, and of the tariffs he replaced them with. This unconstitutional abuse of power is costing American families thousands of dollars and hurting our economy.

Donald Trump’s illegal tariffs are killing small businesses. In 2025, small businesses cut nearly 300k jobs. That’s 4.5X larger than the number lost during the pandemic. To make it worse, Congressional Republicans are helping Trump crush small businesses.

🚨JUST IN: Due to Trump's tariffs, small businesses LOST 4.5x more jobs in 2025 than they did in 2020 during the pandemic. Trump's policies are bad for small businesses, bad for workers, and bad for the country. Read the full report: www.jec.senate.gov/public/_cach...

Mom-and-pop shops are under increasing pressure from a confluence of factors: tariffs, high interest rates, expensive health insurance and now surging energy costs. https://cnn.it/4dtqGFc

For nearly six decades the U.S. has voluntarily remained in the dark on Israel's nuclear capabilities. The ambiguity ends now.

In a Wild West AI environment without minimally acceptable federal guardrails, states have taken the lead to address real and growing risks – and that’s a good thing. Until there’s a strong federal framework, states must retain the ability to protect the American public.

This is deeply concerning especially in light of the news that the Trump administration is shutting down the office tasked with investigating abuse while ICE and CBP continue violating basic human rights and federal detention standards, an unacceptable and deliberate attempt to avoid accountability.

After gutting the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (created by Congress to protect people held in custody) last year by cutting its staff 90%, the Trump admin kills it completely at a time when ICE deaths have reached record levels. This is deliberate indifference.

If the President wanted to curb nuclear risk, withdrawing from the JCPOA clearly moved us in the opposite direction. Now Americans are paying the price of Trump's reckless decisions with a 40% spike in gas prices – hardly a ‘small price’ to pay.

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy.

Trump continues to chip away at DC's public institutions to create lavish playgrounds for his friends. It's completely shameful, but I'm glad to see the court put at least a temporary stop to this. Our public spaces should not become exclusive backrooms for MAGA sycophants.

Soil at the public DC golf course where the Trump admin dumped debris of the White House East Wing has tested positive for lead, chromium and other toxic metals. @nytimes.com gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/c...

Donald Trump and his administration know tariffs are terribly unpopular and increasing costs for American families. That's why they refuse to let Congress vote on them – because they know they don’t have the votes.

UPDATE: Access to mifepristone has been rightfully restored. Mifepristone was safe and effective when the FDA first approved it over 25 years ago, and it remains safe and effective for the millions of people who have used it to end their pregnancies and manage their miscarriages since.

NINE THOUSAND people who work for the FBI — either two thirds of their agents or one quarter of their entire staff — have been diverted to doing at least some immigration enforcement by the Trump administration.

Trump’s destructive immigration policies could cost the U.S. up to $479 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. Add in his massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and now the national debt has surpassed 100% of GDP. Complete fiscal negligence.

The share of Americans who say their financial situation is getting worse (55%) is higher now than at any point in the past 25 years. www.axios.com/2026/04/28/t...

We stand on the shoulders of the workers who fought for our rights. Today, we celebrate the bravery of those who stood up to ensure dignity for every person on the job. #InternationalWorkersDay ✊

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 1, per AAA ⛽ • Regular: $4.39 (⬆️ $0.09 from yesterday, ⬆️ $1.41 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.24 (⬆️ $1.38 since war began) • Diesel: $5.57 (⬆️ $1.81 since war began)

The average price of a gallon of gas hit $4.39 this morning — up 9¢ in just 24 hours, and 47% higher before the Iran war.

As the Iran war enters its third month, consumers are paying for its disruption of worldwide energy production.
