I loved the company of, worked alongside & also debated with Ann Widdecombe the years. We were passionate about some of the same issues & at odds over others. I was therefore deeply saddened to hear of her death & now horrified to learn of the nature of it. Rest in peace Ann.

The Trump administration froze billions of dollars in child care assistance for nearly 340,000 children. At a time when our child care system is already struggling, this will be a disaster for working parents and their kids. This illegal order must be rescinded.

The lack of action by western Governments to this mass murder of civilians shows how little morality remains in politics.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs. So what are Republicans in Congress proposing in their "Big Beautiful Bill"? Cutting taxes for billionaires—funded by cutting food assistance and slashing health care for millions of people. It's the same old failed trickle-down economics.

Yes. When the richest man alive owns over 5 times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households, our country is rapidly moving towards oligarchy. That is unacceptable. We must create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.

I am appalled by the killing of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington last night and grateful for the quick response from law enforcement. We must all absolutely condemn this heinous act. Violence must have no place in politics.

Republicans in Congress really want to take food out of the mouths of hungry children and medicine away from the sick to fund tax cuts for people who don't need them. Tell your Senators: Vote NO on the Trump budget.

BREAKING: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are popping champagne because House Republicans JUST passed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” This bill is a BIG tax handout for billionaires, paid for by ripping health insurance from 14 MILLION people. We must stop this from passing the Senate.

Americans didn’t send us to Congress to help Trump turn the White House into a crypto cash machine. We can't look the other way when the President hosts a private dinner for his top meme coin buyers—or pass crypto bills like the GENIUS Act that would further line his pockets.

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?" That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security. Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.

Donald Trump is attacking Harvard for refusing to carry out his political agenda. Now, innocent students are caught in the crossfire. Harvard is right to fight back. But this isn't just about Harvard — anyone who crosses Trump could be punished. It's a threat to all of us.

I agree with Speaker Johnson. No one should wonder whether a lawmaker is advancing their own financial interest or the public interest. It makes no sense for lawmakers to own individual stocks. Just ban it. Members of Congress shouldn't even have the appearance of conflicts.

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad. Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseas—and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals! Looks like textbook corruption—and we're all paying for it.
