Donald Trump is President of, by, and for Wall Street. Megabank CEOs are cashing in on his deregulation to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Meanwhile, families are struggling with overdraft fees, credit card bills, auto loan payments, and more. It's rigged.

I remember when a writing teacher asked us to raise our hand if we've made more than $5 from our writing. Three of us did. We were told that's enough to put us in the top 1% of most successful writers through history. A little hyperbole, but not far off. I still think about it.

American families are getting flattened under sky-high costs for just about everything — groceries, rent, health care. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's focused on making his gold-encrusted ballroom even taller.

From Chandler AZ resident: 4:30 pm today, ICE-HSI agents in full tactical gear detained 2 individuals right in front of my home…2 men were taken without explanation or communication. Their car was left behind, lights still on, groceries in the back seat, & uneaten food in their lunchboxes. #StopICE

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

Trump's own trade rep couldn't explain the logic behind the on-again, off-again tariffs wreaking havoc on our economy. If Republicans care about protecting our jobs and lowering costs, they should all vote for our bipartisan resolution to end Trump's tariff chaos.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.
