This is Trump's immigration policy in a nutshell. He claims he wants only the "best" immigrants—but when the continent of Africa literally sends its best, he gets turned away. Now, America's World Cup will suffer as a result.

Trump has torn down the systems we rely on to stop Ebola before it becomes a global crisis – gutted outbreak response teams, cut disease surveillance capacity, and blocked U.S. scientists from working directly with WHO. If this disease spreads further, you know who to thank – Donald Trump and DOGE.

First Trump’s tariffs raised prices, now his unauthorized war is causing energy prices to soar. It's clear Republicans in Washington don't care about the strain they are putting on Americans’ wallets.

Instead of focusing on lowering costs for you and your family, Trump decided to plunge us into a disastrous war of choice in the Middle East. Now, inflation is the highest it’s been in years, and there’s no end in sight.

Congressional Republicans have made no effort to implement the commonsense, lifesaving reforms to ICE & CBP that my colleagues and I have demanded. Instead, the House passed a bill to cut another $70 billion blank check to DHS that is both dangerous and unnecessary. Why am I not surprised?

Last week, Republicans chose Trump’s mass deportation agenda over working families. How does this bill help Americans afford gas? A family hit with higher health care premiums? A small business owner squeezed by Trump’s tariffs? It doesn’t.
