If you don’t pay taxes, you face consequences. That’s how our system works. But not for Trump. Trump forced his nominee for Attorney General to promise to make him immune from any tax crimes Trump may have committed.

What a sad state our country is in when the Senate has to debate whether a President’s former personal lawyer—who has led the burying of the Epstein Files and promised to make Trump immune from tax crimes—should be our nation’s highest law enforcement officer.

Happy Birthday to our 44th President of the United States, @barackobama.bsky.social

The Trump administration has been refunding companies after some of Trump’s tariffs were struck down in court. $2.2 billion for Apple. $1.3 billion for Ford. $500 million for GM.

Unbelievable. Republicans in the Senate are set to confirm Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, to be Attorney General even after he told them the deal the DOJ struck giving Trump and his businesses broad immunity from crimes still stands.

Trump says we’ve done an “amazing job” in Iran even though it’s nearly five months after he claimed Iran was “totally defeated” and this was just a “short excursion.”

No, we did not ask for Trump to be on passports.

Trump is holding up the confirmation of his Attorney General nominee by the Republican-led Senate because he refuses to back down from a deal that would create a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money for his allies and grant himself immunity from tax crimes.

Everyone’s struggling to afford gas because of Trump’s war with Iran. But hey, at least Washington has near 24k gold painted horse statues.

The Trump Administration has regilded the Arts of War statues near the Lincoln Memorial with 23.75-karat gold.

Last year, President Trump’s crypto firm and memecoin pulled in $1.44 billion. Individuals and companies with legal and business interests before the Trump administration invested heavily in them.

Trump launched a new round of tariffs on Friday. Gas prices are nearly a dollar higher than a year ago thanks to his war on Iran. Ordinary Americans are struggling just to pay their bills. Trump doesn’t care. abcnews.com/Business/tru...

In 2024, Before Trump first took office again, his businesses reported about $600 million in income. During his first year back in office, his businesses reported about $2.2 billion in income—nearly four times as much.

This whole ordeal with the luxury Qatari-gifted jet Trump is using as his presidential plane would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. This is corruption, a waste of millions of taxpayer dollars, and poses a massive national security risk.    Here’s why:

Oil prices have risen to their highest level in 8 weeks over Trump’s war in the Middle East that is spiraling out of control. Launching this war was completely unnecessary from the start, and now the American people, already struggling to make ends meet, are paying the price.

Oil prices surge to $100 per barrel after Red Sea attacks

European and U.S. crude oil both jumped, hitting their highest levels in weeks.

This week the House passed a resolution directing Trump to end his war in Iran. All Democrats supported it. All but four Republicans voted against it. It failed in the Senate, where all but one Republican voted no. If it had made it to Trump’s desk, he would have vetoed it.

I voted no on the so-called “Stop Insider Trading Act.” Not because I believe government officials should be allowed to trade stocks. I don’t. But this bill doesn’t fully ban that.

Service members we lose—whether 18 or thousands—represent families grieving someone who will never come home, children growing up without a parent, and loved ones carrying that loss for the rest of their lives.

It was a great pleasure to speak at the Progressive National Baptist Convention 65th Annual Session in D.C. today about what faith communities can do to protect the right to vote and increase participation in our electoral process.

This week in Washington, as Trump reignites his war with Iran, Republicans are hoping to approve $60B of your taxpayer dollars for the war. Service members have been killed and injured. Prices are already going back up. Yet Republicans in Congress are giving Trump a green light to keep going.

Head Start has been helping children from low-income families prepare for school and life for decades. We know it works. Studies show children who attend Head Start are more likely to graduate from high school, have better long-term health, and earn higher incomes over their lifetimes.

Donald Trump uses his personal Truth Social account to announce official government actions that often move the financial markets.

We lost my dear friend John Lewis six years ago today. Our country lost a hero. I miss him every day. John Lewis dedicated his life to making the greatness of America accessible to all.

Every president going back at least five decades has put their investments in a blind trust, where they don't know exactly what stocks they own or when they're being traded. Trump chose not to do that and instead has investment accounts that make tens of thousands of stock trades each year. Why?

A week or less after Trump made 44 stock purchases of 21 companies, he posted favorably about those companies.

Republicans had a chance to put some guardrails on ICE so its actions weren't based on whatever the president wanted. Instead, they gave them about $75 billion more, no strings attached.

ICE should keep making traffic stops despite recent shootings, Trump says

Can someone please explain to me how a gold coin with Trump’s face on it honors the “enduring legacy of liberty”?

A federal judge ruled that Trump’s $1.8 billion lawsuit against his own Justice Department was an attempt to “manipulate” the courts.

After a brief “ceasefire” and $67B in taxpayer dollars spent, Trump’s Iran War is back on. Gas prices have already shot up, and they’ll likely shoot up more in the coming weeks. Our troops are at greater risk. Trump is trapped in this war he started and Americans are continuing to pay the price.

Trump notifies Congress of new war against Iran

President Donald Trump's notification that the U.S. is again at war with Iran gives the administration another 60-day clock for military action.

Last fall, my Democratic colleagues and I warned Republicans that refusing to extend enhanced ACA tax credits would mean millions of Americans—Republicans and Democrats—losing their health care. And that’s exactly what has happened. 2.6 million fewer Americans are enrolled in 2026 alone.

The Trump administration supports changing the law to create a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it, but doesn’t think Harriet Tubman—an extraordinarily heroic American freedom fighter—should be similarly portrayed.
