As we head into the fourth week of the Iran war, the American people - and our troops - deserve clear, accountable, and honest leadership.

We're getting the opposite.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Beer is more expensive because of Donald Trump's tariffs.

Busy days ahead for our new Fraud Czar, JD Vance.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

This administration has managed to do many big things at once. The problem is they're all harmful.

The next time our party earns the chance to lead, we have to be prepared to aim big and do many things at once - things that will actually help improve life in America.

Plan for ICE detention center in Merrimack has been scrapped, governor says After two months of speculation, protests and public debate, the Department of Homeland Security is moving on from plans for an immigrant detention facility in Merrimack, WMUR was first to report on T...

We don't always have to wait for an election to see results.

Last week I met Granite Staters raising their voice against this proposed ICE detention facility.

Today, they won: the Trump administration gave up. Never underestimate your own power in moments like these.

The average household lost more than $1,000 to Trump's tariffs.

Now the Court has spoken: this was unlawful all along.

The President owes you an apology - and a refund.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Wow!!!

A few months ago, when Pete Buttigieg said there was still hope that Indiana Republicans would do the right thing, I was skeptical.

Pete was right.

Just now, the Indiana State Senate voted 31-19 to REJECT Trump's extreme gerrymandering. 🤯🙌

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

All of this, in violation of the Constitution.

A reminder.👇🏻

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

"I mean, it's a low bar." 😂
- Pete Buttigieg

Watch till the end. This made me laugh.

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.

In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.

We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

And let's take a moment to remember how much was done during the Biden administration before Trump undoes it all.

Tonight, Pete did this interview about the Trump administration rolling back consumer protections.

(And you can tell Pete is really at the airport, because you can hear a baby crying in the background. But he never misses a beat. He's the best. 😎)

Trump Family Amasses $5 Billion Fortune After Crypto Launch The WLFI token traded far above its previous value, confirming—at least on paper—a huge windfall for the president and his sons.

This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

I talked with a doctor in rural Wisconsin about what she wished elected officials in Washington understood about the health care system.

Her answer is important for every American to hear:

The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

These various initiatives and policy changes are often regarded as discrete problems, but they comprise a unified assault. The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science. If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us. Like the inquisitors of old, who persecuted Galileo for daring to notice that the sun did not, in fact, revolve around the Earth, they believe that truth-seeking imperils their hold on power.

The Trump administration is engaging on an all-out assault on the institutions, workers and standards that make learning and knowledge production possible, in the hopes of securing political dominance forever. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Opinion | The Trump Administration Is Trying to Unravel One of Our Greatest National Accomplishments

“America has sought with each successive generation to expand the circle of educational opportunity, because we know access to education will enrich lives, expand our economy and strengthen our democracy.”

Opinion | Living Among the DOGE Wreckage

“Our country has always run on the quiet competence of people committed to their work…. My distress over President Trump’s blind attacks on…so-called bureaucrats is…about our entire country losing faith in the importance of expertise that’s wielded in service of the greater good.”

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned.

Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.
