Today, the Supreme Court is hearing a case determining whether the president can unilaterally end birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear. The president cannot rewrite the Constitution. The court must uphold the law and defend birthright citizenship!

Republicans ripped health care away from millions of Americans & drove up costs for millions more to give massive tax cuts to the wealthy and well-connected. Now, they’re threatening additional cuts to health care programs to pay for the president’s reckless war in Iran. Americans deserve better.

Jeffries: "The only thing standing between the chaos that is taking place at airports all across the country and the American people and making sure you are no longer inconvenienced is House Republicans. Unfortunately MAGA extremists in the House continue to inflict pain on the American people"

This is not only despicable, but it is deeply damaging to our armed forces. If promotions are based on racism and bigotry, rather than skill and experience, we will lose qualified and dedicated men and women in every branch of the military. This is not leadership. Mr. Hegseth and his team must go.

After weeks of blocking funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, Senate Republicans finally relented and passed legislation to fund these vital agencies. The House should pass the bill, end the chaos, and continue negotiations that will ensure stronger guardrails on ICE and CBP.

The president’s reckless decision to start another regime change war in the Middle East is driving another surge of inflation that is already hurting hardworking families across the country. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/26/g...

Global forecasting group sees U.S. inflation at 4.2% this year, much higher than Fed estimate

The forecast is a sharp step up from the prior projection of 2.8%. Moreover, it is much higher than the 2.7% Fed officials estimated.

Congress must reassert its constitutional authority over military action before the president drags America into another conflict that has long-term consequences for the nation. I support this effort by @jayapal.house.gov and @meeks.house.gov. thehill.com/policy/inter...

Fertilizer and fuel prices are spiking because of the president’s reckless war in the Middle East. Critical markets around the world have closed because of the president’s reckless trade wars. American farmers are struggling more than ever because of the administration’s reckless policies.

BARTIROMO: What are doing in your department to ensure farmers are not getting impacted harshly by the spike in the price of fertilizer? BROOKE ROLLINS: It's a great question. Obviously, the farm economy we inherited, the farmers have struggled.

Nearly a year after Liberation Day, the president’s illegal tariff taxes have cost American small businesses dearly. It’s time to put an end to these reckless policies that have driven up prices, killed good-paying jobs, and crushed small businesses! www.americanprogress.org/article/in-t...

In the First Year, President Trump’s Tariffs Have Cost Small-Business Importers $306,000 on Average

New state-by-state analysis finds that the Trump administration’s trade policies are a hefty tax on small businesses, the backbone of America’s workforce.

The administration wants to spend $200 billion on another regime change war in the Middle East. I think that money would be better spent lowering health care costs, investing in workers, and strengthening education here at home. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/o...
