If Democrats win the majority, we can begin to hold the Trump administration accountable. This includes reversing costly tariffs to lower prices of everyday goods and holding ICE accountable. Affordability for you, accountability for the Trump administration.

Banned Books Week is here, and each day I will highlight a book that parts of the United States have banned. First is Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian novel from 1953 about Guy Montag, whose job is to burn outlawed books in a society that values shallow media and conformity over critical thinking.
