We lost my dear friend John Lewis six years ago today. Our country lost a hero. I miss him every day. John Lewis dedicated his life to making the greatness of America accessible to all.

Every president going back at least five decades has put their investments in a blind trust, where they don't know exactly what stocks they own or when they're being traded. Trump chose not to do that and instead has investment accounts that make tens of thousands of stock trades each year. Why?

A week or less after Trump made 44 stock purchases of 21 companies, he posted favorably about those companies.

Republicans had a chance to put some guardrails on ICE so its actions weren't based on whatever the president wanted. Instead, they gave them about $75 billion more, no strings attached.

Can someone please explain to me how a gold coin with Trump’s face on it honors the “enduring legacy of liberty”?

A federal judge ruled that Trump’s $1.8 billion lawsuit against his own Justice Department was an attempt to “manipulate” the courts.

After a brief “ceasefire” and $67B in taxpayer dollars spent, Trump’s Iran War is back on. Gas prices have already shot up, and they’ll likely shoot up more in the coming weeks. Our troops are at greater risk. Trump is trapped in this war he started and Americans are continuing to pay the price.

Last fall, my Democratic colleagues and I warned Republicans that refusing to extend enhanced ACA tax credits would mean millions of Americans—Republicans and Democrats—losing their health care. And that’s exactly what has happened. 2.6 million fewer Americans are enrolled in 2026 alone.

The Trump administration supports changing the law to create a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it, but doesn’t think Harriet Tubman—an extraordinarily heroic American freedom fighter—should be similarly portrayed.

Republicans refused to extend ACA enhanced tax credits. They said it was too much money. As a result, nearly 30% of those enrolled in SC last year have lost their health care. Republicans can find money for billionaire tax cuts and their Iran war, but not health care for Americans.

Obama negotiated an agreement that successfully limited Iran’s nuclear program. Trump tore it up. He then spent $67 billion on a war that failed to achieve nearly all its objectives. It ended with a deal that was far more favorable to Iran than Obama’s plan.

Independence Day reminds us that America’s story has always been one of progress—generations working to make our nation live up to its founding creed. Today, we celebrate that progress and recommit to the work still ahead. Happy 4th of July!

3 million Americans have lost their health care because of Republicans' refusal to extend enhanced ACA tax credits last year. The tax credits would have cost about $38 billion a year. Trump then launched a war on Iran, and Republicans fell in line behind it. That war has cost $67 billion.

Today Speaker Johnson delivered to the White House a bipartisan bill to help bring down the price of rent and homes. But Trump is refusing to sign it because he is mad Congress won’t pass his legislation to make it harder for people to vote.

The bill Trump is referring to overwhelmingly passed the House 358-32. I proudly supported it. It would bring down housing costs by making it easier to build new homes and preventing Wall Street from buying up existing properties.

Trump and Republicans cut Medicaid and the ACA by over a trillion dollars, and now 5 million Americans have lost their health care. And this is just the beginning. Spending money on pointless wars while cutting funding for Americans' health care. Those are Trump and Republicans' priorities for you.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is asking Congress for $78 billion to cover the cost of Trump’s war in Iran and other expenses.

Most people know about Rosa Parks and her courageous act of defiance that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped lead to a court ruling ending bus segregation in Montgomery. But fewer people know about Sarah Mae Flemming of Columbia, South Carolina.

82 years ago, President Roosevelt signed the G.I. Bill into law, providing WWII veterans with a range of benefits for their heroic service—college tuition, job training, business loans, and assistance buying homes. But in practice, Black veterans were denied these opportunities.

Being a father to three wonderful daughters has been one of the greatest joys of my life. To all the dads and father figures out there, happy Father’s Day.

161 years ago, the news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas—more than two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

Surprise, surprise. Trump promised no taxpayer money for his $600M ballroom. But the whole time the White House knew the project would be heavily paid for using tax dollars. Lie after lie after lie. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

$70B for ICE and CBP. $350B for the military. Not a dime for you.

Words I never, ever thought I’d hear anyone say: “I love the inflation”

Republicans in Congress finally passed their massive $70 billion ICE and CBP funding bill after multiple months of effort.

According to a new report, the Social Security trust fund—which helps pay Social Security benefits—will now run out of money in 2032, a year earlier than expected. Why? Because Trump’s “big beautiful bill” is depleting the fund faster.

Last week Senate Republicans passed a bill to give $70B to ICE and CBP so Trump can continue causing chaos in American communities. The bill did nothing to kill Trump’s $1.8B fund for his allies. It did nothing to lower prices that have surged due to Trump’s tariffs and senseless war with Iran.

In case you missed it, last night: Senate Republicans voted down an amendment to kill Trump’s $1.8 billion pot of taxpayer money for his MAGA allies. Senate Republicans voted down an amendment to prevent Trump’s ballroom from being built without Congressional approval.

I’m glad that some Republicans finally grew a spine and said no to Trump’s $1.8 billion pot of money for Jan. 6 rioters. But let’s be clear: that’s only half of this corrupt deal. The other half is the DOJ giving Trump immunity from any tax crimes he, his family, or businesses may have committed.

I supported this resolution and am glad to see it finally pass the House. Trump’s war with Iran has been a disaster. It’s time for it to end.

Trump’s presidency has become primarily a vessel for pursuing his own interests. The White House seems busier promoting a UFC fight on the south lawn for Trump’s birthday than doing anything to bring down the high costs that Trump himself forced on us. The American people are sick of it.

Trump started this war and said high prices were a “small price to pay” to achieve the war aims. Well, he hasn’t met those aims, can’t find a way to end the war, Americans are stuck with the higher prices he caused, and what's his response to talks failing? “I don’t care”

Inflation just reached its highest level in three years due to Trump’s war with Iran. Meanwhile, he’s busy trying to create a $250 bill with his face on it.

Maybe I’m old school, but I think the average American would rather their president focus on getting costs down than taking over the White House grounds to hold UFC fights and build a lavish ballroom.

Markets are projecting gas prices won’t return to $3 a gallon until 2032. That’s in 6 years.

As we observe Memorial Day, we honor the brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage and selflessness remind us that freedom carries a profound cost. Today and every day, we remember and honor them.

Trump’s “historic” presidency continues to shatter records. Americans’ feelings towards the economy are at a new record low under President Trump.

How did Trump’s $1.8B “Weaponization” fund for his allies come about? 1. Trump sued his own government for $10B over an IRS leak involving thousands of other people. He was effectively both the plaintiff and the defendant in the case.

You can tell who will benefit from Trump’s $1.8B “weaponization” fund by who's celebrating it. Election deniers, Jan. 6 rioters. Trump’s happy to give relief to his supporters, but is doing nothing to help everyday Americans struggling with costs.

The Artemis II crew have inspired people around the world by showing what is possible when we dare to truly shoot for the stars.

I join my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP in calling on college athletes to boycott public universities in states that are actively weakening Black political representation.

$1.8 billion for his allies investigated by the Department of Justice, even if they did in fact commit crimes. A new ballroom for himself and his billionaire friends. What is Trump doing for us?

In the $1.8 billion settlement Trump made with his own government is a provision that the U.S. is “forever barred and precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his family, and businesses’ past tax returns. One set of rules for the Trumps and their cronies. Another set for everyone else.

I can’t make this up. Trump sued his own government, then dropped the lawsuit in exchange for his DOJ creating a $1,800,000,000 pot of money to compensate MAGA allies who baselessly claim to be “victims of lawfare and weaponization.” Astonishing corruption.

Trump sued his own government for $10B. He's “settled” for a $1.7B “weaponization” fund that will compensate his allies who were convicted for crimes during the Biden administration. Yes, that’s right: Your tax money will be used to pay January 6 insurrectionists.

Trump launches tariffs➡️prices increase, companies get refunds Trump embraces big AI companies➡️energy prices increase, corporations benefit Trump attacks Iran➡️gas prices increase, oil companies benefit When is Trump going to do something that benefits the American people?

Trump is more focused on building a ballroom for Washington elites than building affordable housing for everyday Americans, who are struggling mightily to pay their rent and mortgages. Trump’s budget would cut spending for affordable housing programs while he asks Congress to fund his ballroom.

Trump promised to bring down the cost of living. But today, as Trump focuses on his Iran War, his ballroom, his "Arc de Trump", and putting his face on passports, 77% of Americans say the president’s policies have increased their cost of living.

After two months of war, more than $29 billion in taxpayer money spent, American troops killed, and thousands of civilians dead, Iran has regained much of its key military capabilities. Iran controls the strait of Hormuz—something they didn’t control before Trump’s war.

The Trump administration Justice Department is working to settle a $10,000,000,000 lawsuit Donald Trump launched against his own administration. The outcome could mean billions in taxpayer money going to Trump or special IRS treatment for Trump, his family, and his businesses.
