Trump has launched an unnecessary, idiotic, and illegal war against Iran that puts America’s servicemembers and embassy personnel at risk. I’m calling on Congress to immediately return to vote on my War Powers Resolution that blocks war with Iran without congressional approval.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Bernie Henderson, a wonderful person and trusted advisor to multiple VA governors. My family will always be grateful for his help planning Linwood Holton’s funeral. My prayers are with the entire Henderson family during this difficult time.

Inflation just hit a three-year high. Gas prices are up over 40%. Trump’s response? “Let them eat cake.”
Jun 10
Reporter: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
POTUS: "No, I love it. The numbers look great. I love the inflation."

“Today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.” Apparently our nitwit Secretary of War(drobe) thinks a D-Day commemoration is an appropriate time to push his far right ideology in Europe. thehill.com/policy/internati…

If I was a business looking for a new site, a public announcement that local law enforcement wouldn’t enforce a law banning assault weapons would make me look elsewhere. Ignoring the law is bad for business. wtvr.com/news/local-news/pro…

Only Congress can rename the Kennedy Center. Trump sacked leadership and installed cronies who put his name on it. He won’t ask 2 R majorities in Congress to rename it because he doesn’t respect the law. The Court stopped his narcissism and now he’s throwing a tantrum. Pathetic. npr.org/2026/05/29/nx-s1-583…

They tackle Alex Padilla, they tear gas Andy Kim . . . and they ask Congress to cough up another 70 billion dollars without reforms to stop thug behavior? Yeah . . . right . . .

Now there is video of Senator @AndyKimNJ being pepper-sprayed by DHS outside Delaney Hall detention facility on Monday. You can hear onlookers say, “they tear-gassed Andy Kim.”

The GOP is now owned by Trump and his chaotic cabal of self-dealing wackos. They’re too focused on corruption to stand up for Americans or lower your costs. This November gives America a wonderful chance to show we can do better. Talarico v Paxton clarifies the stakes.
May 27
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.
He embodies the broken system we’re running against.
It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Trump has fired federal employees by the thousands and now wants to gag them as well. Clearly worried about whistleblowers! washingtonpost.com/business/…

First deliverable from Trump/Xi summit?

Today Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said the U.S. is pausing arms sales to Taiwan because of the war with Iran.
“Right now we're doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury,” Cao told Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Sec. Hegseth has said "we have plenty" when asked about munitions concerns.
Last week, President Trump said the $14 billion package of US arms to Taiwan that awaits his approval is a "very good negotiating chip" with China.

Trump is setting up a $1.7 billion slush fund to hand out YOUR taxpayer dollars to his cronies—including January 6th insurrectionists and rioters who attacked police officers. This is the most corrupt administration in American history.
May 18
BREAKING:
It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Trump tells Iran “Clock is ticking” or else there “won’t be anything left of them.” Time for Congress to step in and block further war until we get a real plan. Trump is wrecking the economy with this war and still won’t even share the legal opinion authorizing it with Congress!

See how this works? Courts immediately clear the way for new maps crafted in backrooms to hurt minority voters but block public referendum in VA to stop disenfranchisement. If our votes don’t matter, why are some working so hard to take ‘em away? apnews.com/article/alabama-r…
