Even President Trump agrees: the Republican shutdown is costing them votes.
Americans facing rising costs are fed up with House Republicans who haven’t shown up to work in almost seven weeks and a President who is too busy building his ballroom to notice.

This is a much-needed ruling.
The Trump Administration is racially profiling and arresting citizens, zip-tying kids, and teargassing peaceful protestors.
I will continue to protest their brutal, unnecessary tactics.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues critical injunction limiting use of force by immigration agents, saying tactics “shock the conscience.”
I led a bipartisan, bicameral letter to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees urging them to preserve provisions that support our Baltic allies in the FY26 NDAA.
The Baltics are essential to NATO’s collective defense in the face of Russian aggression.
Preschool is supposed to be a safe place where children can grow and learn.
But because of “Operation Midway Blitz,” it’s now a place where children see masked, armed federal agents looking to disappear their teachers.
President Trump promised to go after the “worst of the worst.”
His ICE agents just went into a children’s preschool and abducted their teacher in Illinois.
When will this Administration stop terrorizing our families?

Armed Trump-Noem ICE agents just chased a teacher into a PRESCHOOL, putting kids in danger.
Terrible.
For more than a century, Rock Island Arsenal has kept our Armed Forces ready and safe.
I led a bipartisan letter to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees urging them to support Rock Island Arsenal in the FY26 NDAA and ensure it remains a hub for manufacturing.
Nancy Pelosi’s legacy extends far beyond San Francisco. She was instrumental in passing the Affordable Care Act and helped rescue the nation from the depths of the 2008 financial crisis.
She is an extraordinary public servant, and our nation owes her a debt of gratitude for all that she has done.
President Trump is willing to stretch and bend the law to implement sky-high tariffs that have hiked up prices for American families.
But he refuses to use the authority two federal courts have said he has to fully pay out November SNAP benefits.
I’ve visited ICE detention facilities under both Republican and Democratic Administrations.
But under the Trump Administration… I’ve been denied access FOUR TIMES.
It’s terrifying to think what the Administration is trying to hide here.
Every Member of Congress has the right to visit an ICE facility. It’s part of the job.
The Trump Administration is denying visits and it begs the question… WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?
It’s unprecedented, unlawful, and unacceptable.
Easy.
Republicans are terrified of exposing the full extent of Donald Trump’s attempted election interference.
It’s time for Donald Trump to stop gambling with our economy.
There’s a lot of news lately, but it’s worth repeating…
There’s bipartisan opposition to President Trump’s reckless tariff scheme.
Senate Democrats—with a handful of Republicans—voted *together* to terminate key tariffs he’d championed.
Stop gambling with our economy.
President Trump is gambling with our economy when he declares “emergencies” and recklessly implements sky-high tariffs.
The Supreme Court should rule in favor of consumers, workers, and small businesses.
President Trump spent his Halloween throwing a massive Great Gatsby themed party, while 42 million Americans spent their Halloween worrying whether they would be able to put food on the table.
