Another day, another Trump policy to make voting harder. His new target? Nursing homes. Dr. Oz issued a memo that seems designed to intimidate nursing home staff from helping residents vote. I’m calling on Dr. Oz to withdraw this guidance and stop impeding the right to vote.

NEW: ABC, Meta, and Paramount gave Trump's presidential library up to $56.5 MILLION to settle lawsuits. Now, financial disclosures show missing money and millions in expenses with no explanation. Where is the money? Americans deserve answers. I'm pressing for them.

Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.
