Americans are getting pummeled by sky-high costs—and Senate Republicans couldn’t care less. Instead of fighting to lower energy and grocery bills, Republicans spent all day and night fighting to bankroll ICE and Border Patrol. It’s Trump first, America last. Every damn time.

NEW: Senate GOP just began votes on their corrupt bill to hand another $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol. Meanwhile, there’s $0 to help you with soaring costs caused by Trump’s war. It’s outrageous. Senate Democrats will be introducing amendments all day to fight this.

Trump's illegal war has already cost 14 of our servicemembers' lives and nearly $30 billion. America has paid enough. No more. It's time to end the war.

Huge news if you love meritocracy. Our transgender servicemembers earned their roles in our military, making us more lethal and prepared to defend America from her enemies. And that's something Hegseth can't say.

Of all the things our men and women in uniform put up with in the middle of a war... Being used to stroke Trump's ego at his ridiculous UFC birthday party should not be on that list.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1

The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at Trump's UFC cage-fighting event at the White House — and requiring those who attend to pay for their travel and meet height and weight requirements, according to people familiar with the matter and internal memos reviewed by WaPo.

A great win for our state! 👏 These bills will help protect Illinois consumers against out-of-control price hikes from insurance companies, helping them save money and have more peace of mind.

Governor JB Pritzker@GovPritzker

Illinoisans are getting squeezed by unfair insurance premium hikes. With this legislation, we're reining in corporate abuse and making auto and homeownership more affordable. abc7chicago.com/post/bills-giv…

Do they care about our national security at all? Trump is plunging us further into war, cozying up to dictators and alienating our partners. The last thing we need is an inexperienced, partisan yes-man leading our intelligence community. This doesn’t make America safer.

Jake Sherman@JakeSherman

Bill Pulte, who has never served in an intelligence role, will be the acting director of national intelligence.

Pete Hegseth—who never ranked higher than Major—is once again ignoring Generals' recommendations and denying merit-based promotions. For all his bluster about bringing meritocracy back to our military, this unqualified SecDef keeps doing the opposite. An insult to our troops.

I just watched Hegseth’s speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Let’s be clear about what the Trump Administration’s “Peace Through Strength” has looked like.

Ricardo and his mother Liliana are home! This happy news reminds us that when we come together and speak out, we can make a difference. We must keep pushing back against Trump’s attacks on our communities. chicago.suntimes.com/education/2026…

Rep. Jason Crow@RepJasonCrow·26 May

If we want the moral high ground, we have to be better. I fought for our country and served with those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s wrong to politicize this day. I won’t hesitate to call out my own team when we fall short.

It is incredibly distasteful to use our heroic dead for a political attack on Memorial Day. I’m a Democrat and I condemn this post by the DNC.

On Memorial Day, we remember our fallen heroes who answered the call—not for themselves, but for democracy. In their names, it’s on each of us to live our lives in a way that honors their sacrifice.

Ricardo Hernandez should be getting ready for graduation, not sitting in ICE detention. He and his mother Liliana did everything right—and they were still arrested during a routine immigration check-in.  How is this making us safer? Release them now.

He's not sharing his military decisions with Congress, nor his own Pentagon. This is a rogue, incompetent Commander in Chief with no plans or strategies. Just chaos. And none of it makes America safer.

CBS News@CBSNews

America's NATO allies were left scratching their heads Friday after President Trump announced a deployment of U.S. forces to Poland, reversing a decision to cancel the plan, with one European foreign minister calling the administration's messaging "confusing indeed." cbsn.ws/4dXhjhg

Late night is losing one of the greats! For years, Stephen brought laughter, truth and light into our homes when we needed it most. And for that, we'll always be grateful.

Our troops deserve a Commander in Chief who does right by them.  Not one that throws them into an unjustified war with no plan and no end state—and works to hollow out the VA.

It isn't Donald Trump or his wealthy family that is footing the bill of this expensive, senseless foreign war. It is our servicemembers, Veterans and the American people who are paying the price.
