The bottom line is this: he doesn’t want to help lower costs, not for housing, not for groceries, not for health care, not for energy.

The President used that [July 2025 America250] event — meant to launch the year-long countdown — to air his personal grievances, promote his political agenda, and rant about his hatred of Democrats.

That mission is, quote, ‘to inspire our fellow Americans to reflect on our past, strengthen our love of country, and renew our commitment to the ideals of democracy through programs that educate, engage, and unite us as a nation.’

ICE custody should provide safer, less restrictive, and more normalized conditions, including adequate medical and mental health care, safe and sanitary houses, limits on force and segregation, outdoor recreation, and restrictions no…

We write for a second time regarding the unconstitutional and illegal attempt to transform the United States Postal Service (USPS) into an election administration agency controlled by the White House and President Trump.

Accordingly, we insist that the Postal Service abandon this proposed regulation and return to its core mission of providing universal postal services to every American.

Despite these grave and serious legal deficiencies, on June 2, 2026, USPS published a proposed rule that, if finalized, would establish President Trump’s control over federal elections and allow USPS to adjudicate who can and cannot vote…

Republicans’ cruel assault on reproductive healthcare has left millions of women with no option but to travel out of state for the care they need.

When we protect the right to vote, we protect the very foundation of our democracy.

Now in response to long-standing challenges of overcrowding, vehicle congestion, and long lines, Yosemite National Park implemented a reservation system during the past five summers. And it seemed to work like a charm.

I’m heartened by you talking about investing in infrastructure and capacity of the Park Service. But I’m trying to reconcile that with both the staffing cuts and the budget cuts that seem to be coming at the Park Service and specific parks…

To me, that doesn’t sound like metrics of huge success. This is problematic.

Wildland firefighters put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe,

I’ll tell you what the experience has been thus far without the reservation system, because it’s been some pretty damaging repercussions.

I am proud to see Congress advance my proposal to ensure veterans experiencing homelessness and receiving VA disability benefits can still qualify for housing assistance.

I will continue pushing for commonsense solutions to help ensure our veterans have access to a safe place to sleep at night, while ensuring more Americans can achieve the American Dream of homeownership.

Access to safe and affordable housing should not feel out of reach, but that is the stark reality millions of Americans face in Donald Trump’s America.

There’s a common theme here. All of these things are illegal and many unconstitutional.

The Trump Administration gutted federal election security and MAGA figures continue to spread baseless conspiracy theories about our elections,

This is not the deal Trump promised. In fact, it is not a “deal” at all.

The deaths of Mr. [Mamuka] Artmeladze and the 49 others who have died in ICE custody must be understood in the context of this Administration’s deliberate policy choices.

It simply reopens the Strait that was open before the war, lifts sanctions on Iran, and hands the regime $300 billion.

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy.

This MOU represents a complete U.S. surrender and leaves Iran in a better strategic position than when Trump started this ill-conceived war.

No American should have to pass a line of federal troops, ICE agents, or armed officers to exercise that right.
