Secretary Hegseth shouldn’t be running from journalists. His new requirements for the Pentagon press corps are un-American, and I’m glad to see so many news organizations across the political spectrum standing up for the First Amendment and an informed American populace.

Trump promised on the campaign trail to bring down prices on Day One. His reckless tariffs have done the opposite.
It’s Day 14 of the Republican shutdown.
Democrats are fighting every day to lower health insurance costs for millions of Americans. Republicans are fighting for new tax breaks for their donors.
If you don't want to hear it from Democrats, hear out Pope Leo.
One cannot claim to follow Christ while casting out immigrants. One cannot claim to follow Christ while ignoring the vulnerable. One cannot claim to follow Christ while staying silent in the face of injustice.
A day long overdue. I'm overjoyed that the remaining living hostages have been released and are finally being reunited with their loved ones.
It’s been less than 20 days since Trump ordered AG Bondi to go after three of his political enemies. Now, two have been indicted.
We have a president consumed with going after those who have opposed him and a DOJ bending to his whims.
But I’m not backing down. Neither should you.
I’m working to make sure our servicemembers still get their checks despite the Republican shutdown. House Republicans won’t even show up to work to make sure our troops get paid next week.
President Trump’s threat to withhold pay from federal workers is illegal. I know it. The IRS knows it. And you can bet Trump knows it too. www.axios.com/2025/10/08/t...
Trump doesn’t actually care about lowering your drug prices, just like Republicans don’t want to lift a finger to help you with health care costs. He just wants to keep making himself and his family richer.
Masked ICE agents are assaulting clergy members like Rev. David Black, a Presbyterian minister from Chicago, who was peacefully protesting in his hometown. All Americans, regardless of faith, should be disturbed by this.
Sorry, Senator Thune, but that’s just BS. The government is shut down because Republicans refused to lower costs and save health care for millions of Americans.
I’m grateful to those who’ve been working for peace for their tireless efforts.
This is a first step, and all parties need to ensure this leads to an enduring end to this war, lasting security for Israel, reconstruction for Gaza and a political horizon without Hamas for the Palestinian people.
I’m heartened by tonight’s announcement of a potential agreement between Israel and Hamas. I hope that this will finally reunite the hostages with their families, as well as end the suffering of Palestinian civilians who will receive critical humanitarian aid.
I met with Dr. Qureshi of @christianacare.bsky.social & @accintouch.bsky.social, who warned that Republican health care cuts will hurt everyone. Hospitals are closing, ER wait times will increase, & millions just lost access to telehealth.
Dems are holding our ground to protect your health care.
President Trump and AG Bondi axed funds this year to hire cops, help victims of child abuse, and crack down on hate crimes. They’re literally defunding the police.
.@bluntrochester.senate.gov, @mcbride.house.gov, and I are fighting for every Delawareans' health care. Republicans won't lift a finger to stop health care costs from rising for every American, so we're taking a stand. whyy.org/articles/del...
The American people know that Donald Trump and Republicans are responsible for this shutdown and that they won't lift a finger to stop health care costs from rising for every American. They need to come to the table and save Americans' health care, TODAY.
Republicans shut down the government because they don't want to stop health care costs from spiking for every American. Because of their shutdown, millions of families will lose crucial food assistance. Republicans need to come to the table and end this shutdown before more Americans get hurt.
This fight is simple. It’s about Democrats standing up and fighting for Americans’ health care.
Two years after Hamas’ horrific attack, too many families still grieve and hostages remain captive.
With Israel’s objectives achieved, it’s time to end the war and the suffering in Gaza.
