“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...

Inflation surged to 3.8% in April, its highest level in nearly three years

Increased energy costs are “accounting for over forty percent of the monthly all items increase,” said the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

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...

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...

Why Experts Are Worried About the U.S. Response to Hantavirus

While it’s unlikely the virus could become a pandemic, health experts say the CDC isn’t doing enough.

It would be nice if we had an FBI Director focused on responding to things like this with the same verve he shows for abusing his power to investigate people who discuss his consumption of alcohol.

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...

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

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMay 5(source)

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.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMay 5(source)

Republicans must join Democrats to impose guardrails and ensure ICE and CBP follow the law.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govMay 5(source)

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.

Internal ICE records reveal widespread use of force in detention centers

The reports detail how guards have increasingly used chemical agents and physical tactics on detainees, including groups demanding adequate water, food and medical care.
