This Memorial Day, we honor every servicemember who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and the families who carry that loss every day. Their sacrifice deserves much more than words—Congress must keep its promise to care for our veterans and their families back at home.

Republicans moved heaven and earth to pass tax breaks for billionaires and mega corporations—and then Trump walked away from minimum wage and overtime protections for nearly 4 million workers. This is as anti-worker and pro-billionaire as it gets. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…

The NIH Director couldn't say whether we're better prepared for public health threats under Trump—because we aren't. Trump gutted NIH funding, delayed and canceled research projects, and pushed out thousands of scientists and staff.

Trump's budget calls for billions in cuts to lifesaving research, but a $1.5 trillion war budget. I asked Trump's NIH Director how he could justify a budget that puts defense contractors ahead of cancer research. He couldn't. I’m throwing Trump’s budget in the trash.

Sean Duffy's "Great American Road Trip" was sponsored by the very corporations he regulates. He blew a gasket when I asked him to answer basic questions about his all-expense-paid vacation. Americans deserve answers, so I'm calling for an Inspector General investigation.

Trump and Republicans want to fund Trump’s billionaire ballroom with your tax dollars. Here’s how we would spend that $1 billion instead:

Acting AG Blanche INSISTED he would always meet with Epstein survivors. A group of survivors made clear he hasn't. Todd Blanche’s refusal to own up to these failures is a disgrace. I’ll keep pushing for the fairness and justice these survivors deserve.

Have you or a loved one been affected by Trump's policies? Paying more for gas because of his war against Iran? Well, under this President, you're entitled to exactly nothing. UNLESS you stormed the Capitol, then you may get a payout from his NEW $1.8 BILLION MAGA slush fund.

When I talk to people back home, they want Congress to address rising gas prices, health care costs, energy bills—all of the stress that's being put on their pocketbooks. What are Republicans doing instead? Fighting for $1 BILLION for Trump's ballroom.

I asked Sean Duffy how much gas cost on the "Great American Road Trip" sponsored by Shell and Toyota. He had no clue. Must be nice! Regular Americans don't have corporations to pay for their gas. Gas, which is WAY more expensive thanks to Trump's war.

So if you or I cheat on our taxes, we could spend time behind bars. But if Trump... or his kids... or his businesses cheat on their taxes, the law doesn't apply. This is insane & beyond corrupt. DOJ works for the American people, NOT Donald Trump.

I asked Sean Duffy what an Airline executive would get for contributing $1 million to his "Great American Road Trip" reality TV show. He just about blew up. If you're going to let the corporations you regulate pay for your vacation, you need to answer for it.

Trump's DOJ worked harder to protect the privacy of potential child abusers than the Epstein survivors. Today I gave Acting AG Blanche multiple opportunities to say, "I apologize" or "I'm sorry." He refused. It's a disgrace.

Did you know Trump's former personal attorney, who's now the Acting Attorney General, will appoint whoever he wants to oversee a $1.8 BILLION slush fund for Trump's political allies? First, Trump pardoned violent insurrectionists, and now he wants taxpayers to pay them off.

America should be leading the global response to contain this outbreak. Instead, Trump has decimated our nation's public health infrastructure and has NO full-time, qualified leaders at the top. It's putting all of us at risk. And for what?

Nicholas Kristof@NickKristof

Ebola has broken out in DR Congo and Uganda, reaching the capitals, and @WHO has declared this a global health emergency. I traveled along the Congo/Uganda border last year, and the public health structure--especially community health workers--was being dismantled because of President Trump's demolition of USAID. This Ebola outbreak will also be harder to address because it involves the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which there is no vaccine or approved therapy and for which even testing is complicated. And Trump has also withdrawn the US from @who, limiting the world's ability to work together to fight the virus. Uganda has a decent health system, but Congo's is a disaster and is complicated by war in Eastern Congo. Large numbers of Congolese are in camps in southwestern Uganda, and the US aid cuts mean that UN agencies are able to offer them less support so that the refugees increasingly are on their own and traveling more in search of food. If the Ebola spreads more broadly, then the cost in lives and money could be considerable -- so it's important to act early to contain it. I hope Trump will reconsider his moves, work with WHO, and dispatch assistance to the Uganda/Congo border area. nytimes.com/2026/05/17/wor…

This attack on San Diego's Muslim community is heartbreaking and unacceptable. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the victims. It's on all of us, but especially our leaders, to firmly and clearly reject this kind of violence and hate.

I hit the streets of Seattle looking for someone with $50 million in a trust fund. Why? Because many of the people who do have that much are using complicated trusts to dodge estate taxes. My Fair Trusts for Fiscal Responsibility Act closes the loophole. Let's pass it.
