Reporters investigated the President’s Qatari-gifted Air Force One. Now the Justice Department is investigating the reporters.
A free press holds power accountable. That’s how democracy works.

Americans are still paying the price for the President’s reckless economic decisions.
Tariffs, an unnecessary war of choice, and rising costs aren’t just making headlines, they’re making groceries, utilities, and everyday life more expensive.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost
Tariffs are still grinding through supply chains, the Middle East war is keeping oil markets on edge, and a boom in AI infrastructure is driving up the cost of electricity. The result: prices may rise faster than normal for many months. wapo.st/4pmRfR4

You can tell a lot about a government’s priorities by who it asks to sacrifice.
It shouldn’t be hungry kids. But that’s exactly what the Republican-backed budget does.

I’m honored to receive the Carl A.S. Coan, Sr. Lifetime Achievement Award for Public Service from the @NatlHousingConf.
This recognition reflects what can happen when we choose collaboration over division. Working alongside Chairman Mike Flood and colleagues on both sides of the aisle, we delivered the most significant housing legislation in nearly four decades. The work continues.

The power of the purse belongs to Congress. Taxpayer dollars are appropriated to serve the public, not to reward political allies or punish those who disagree with the President.

Last year, the Trump Administration terminated or froze nearly 4,000 research grants, totalling some $3 billion—only restoring about half after being sued by several institutions. A new proposal is poised to even further politicize research efforts. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/SrkuX-

We ask extraordinary things of our servicemembers. They shouldn’t pay the price for the President’s war of choice. The least we owe them is competent leadership, accountability, and answers.

Exclusive: Six soldiers died on day two of the Iran war in a drone strike on Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. Dozens more were wounded, some seriously. It's one of the war's costliest attacks for U.S. personnel — and survivors fear no one will be held accountable. wapo.st/4wausdu

Americans want lower prices, affordable housing, and stronger communities, not another costly forever war abroad with a catchy nickname. Let's invest in America instead of inventing new missions abroad.

Trump: "We're going to hit [Iran] very hard and keep the Strait [of Hormuz] and probably run it. We will become the guardian of the Strait. Maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the Strait. And we should be reimbursed."

First your paycheck. Then your healthcare. Now your retirement.
It’s becoming a familiar pattern - fewer protections for workers, more opportunities for powerful interests.
Working families deserve an economy that works for them, not another giveaway to Wall Street.
ProPublica@propublica
The Trump administration wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have over their retirement. “What they have done is lower the standard for everything,” said one former senior official at the Department of Labor. propublica.org/article/401k-r…

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.
Dr. Catharine Young@DrCatharineY
A year ago, CDC made Cyclospora surveillance optional. It had been tracked for 28 years. Today: ~3,000 cases across 31 states, no confirmed source, and CDC’s own count (843) is trailing what states are reporting by thousands.

The Red Scare taught us what happens when fear and political hysteria replace democratic debate. Resurrecting that playbook, and pairing it with calls to deport political opponents, is un-American.

The measure of our immigration system isn’t just whether it enforces the law, it’s whether it does so with humanity, accountability, and respect for life.
Congress shouldn’t be writing ICE a bigger blank check while basic accountability remains unanswered.

Q: What are your plans for the housing affordability bill?

This was never about Planned Parenthood, it was always about patients. Essential healthcare should never become collateral damage.
This news means more folks can once again get preventative care, screenings, and services that keep communities healthy.

We spent the past 18 months building bipartisan consensus to help Americans afford a place to call home. The President chose politics, and Congress chose progress.
At midnight, progress becomes law.

President Trump will let a bipartisan housing bill become law without signing it, in protest over a GOP voter ID law that lacks support. apnews.com/article/trump-…

Housing costs are at an all-time high. Fortunately, there’s a bill for that. All that’s missing is the President’s signature.
