The dysfunction in Trump’s administration isn’t complicated. He’s suing his own administration for $10 BILLION, and his government has to defend it. Unethical, no matter how you look at it.

It’s Day 445 of the Trump-Vance administration. What happened to lowering costs on day one – and starting no new wars? Working Americans are paying the price of Trump’s broken promises and failed policies.

120,000 Pennsylvanians have dropped ACA health insurance since premium spikes

Young, eligible men will be automatically registered for the military draft pool starting in December as part of a measure tucked into the annual defense policy bill Congress signed into law late last year. Here’s what you need to know: https://cnn.it/4vfcGG1

After Trump and congressional Republicans let critical ACA tax credits expire last year, over 120,000 Pennsylvanians had to drop their health insurance because it’s become too unaffordable. This is the reality of the GOP-created health care crisis.

High monthly premium payments without enhanced tax credits, coupled with high costs of daily living, have caused some to cut insurance.

Thanks to Trump’s ill-conceived, dangerous war of choice, you’re paying more every time you fill up your tank!

Today, House Democrats tried to bring a War Powers Resolution to the floor and end Trump’s war of choice. Once again, House Republicans blocked us. Once again, they're choosing Trump’s dangerous warmongering over the American people.

I’m devastated to hear of the partial building collapse at a construction site in Grays Ferry. My prayers are with the families of the victim and those still missing. Thank you to our first responders who continue working diligently on the scene.

Hard-working Pennsylvanians are paying the price of Trump’s war of choice. In just one month, drivers in the commonwealth spent over $238,535,408 MORE on gas than before this reckless war.

Speaker Johnson needs to bring the House back to Washington immediately. We cannot wait to see if this fragile two-week ceasefire holds — Congress must act NOW to end Trump’s illegal war of choice.

A fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire shows cracks as attacks continue across the region

Iran and the U.S. and Israel said they would suspend strikes but countries in the region continued to report attacks and Israel said it would not stop its assault in Lebanon.

Is this the 'Art of the Deal'? It's far past time for Republicans in Congress to join with Democrats to take Trump's keys and end this war!

Since his first term as president, I have long supported removing Donald Trump from office. This latest deranged episode is another in a long line of reasons of why he is unfit for any public office. Whether by impeachment or the 25th Amendment, Donald Trump needs to go.
