President Trump's reckless policies are costing American businesses and making life more expensive. His tariffs on Canada — our closest ally — show just how ineffective his foreign policy really is. He's weakening our alliances instead of strengthening them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/21/w...

Disagreeing with the President is not “disloyal.” It’s democracy. The American people have the right to question why their tax dollars are footing the bill for a White House vanity project while families are struggling to afford groceries, health care, and housing. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

President Trump has spent years attacking vote-by-mail and is now trying to restrict Americans’ ability to use it. Meanwhile, he just voted by mail in Florida. Again. If voting by mail is good enough for the President of the United States, it should be good enough for the American people.

"Communism is, in my opinion, the single greatest threat to our country in its history.” That’s Trump. And yet he is the one controlling a private company and forcing outcomes that raise prices on families who are already feeling the pinch. It has to stop. www.mlive.com/news/2026/08...

The Trump administration has spent billions blocking wind and solar while betting on coal and nuclear. Result? Nearly 70 gigawatts of renewable energy projects canceled or stalled — while the grid gets less stable and electric bills keep rising for families.

What happened to Pete Buttigieg and his family is deeply disturbing and wrong. No family should have to experience this, and false reports only undermine the work of protecting children who truly need help. Sending my love and prayers to Pete, Chasten, and their children.

While Americans are being buried by rising costs, all Trump cares about is vanity projects like his ballroom. It’s a slap in the face to the American people, and it’s past time for Republicans in Washington to reject Trump’s corruption.
