Tonight, Jewish families around the world light the first candle on their menorahs.   Hanukkah celebrates a long-ago triumph over antisemitism. On this Festival of Lights, may the light of hope triumph over the darkness of hate.

The mass shooting at Brown University is an unimaginable trauma. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire Brown community. The scourge of gun violence must end. We will be forever trapped in this devastating cycle until we start addressing the gun

155 years ago, Joseph Rainey of Georgetown, South Carolina, was seated in Congress, becoming the first African American to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. Rainey paved the way for a generation of Black Americans to serve in Congress after the Civil War, progress that

Of 111 people infected, 105 were unvaccinated. Public health experts and pediatricians overwhelmingly agree: the measles vaccine is safe, effective, and essential to preventing outbreaks—despite what Trump and Secretary Kennedy claim. Get vaccinated.

Since Democrats passed the ACA in 2010, millions gained access to quality health care for the first time. Meanwhile, Republicans haven’t proposed a serious health care plan in decades. Forgive me if I doubt Republicans are “ready” to make health care more affordable.

There's a spirit of revival stirring in America. Dinesh D'Souza's new film, The Dragon's Prophecy, is part of that movement. Based on Jonathan Cahn's No.1 bestseller, the film reveals how war, politics and the Bible converge in a way that we need to make a choice. Watch on GJW+.

Every Senate Democrat just voted to prevent premiums from skyrocketing next year for people who receive health care from the Affordable Care Act. Only 4 of 53 Republicans joined them. If your premiums double next year, you can thank Donald Trump and Republicans.

Americans have been dragged, tased, and beaten by ICE. Children have been ripped out of schools. Pastors have been shot in the head with pepper balls while peacefully protesting. Instead of sowing fear and chaos, @DHSgov should focus on keeping Americans safe.

As Trump decks the White House in gold, kicks millions of Americans off health care, and his tariffs raise prices of everyday goods, he has no understanding of the realities facing Americans. I suppose +++++ does accurately describe prices in the Trump economy.

“The middle-to-lower-income segment is struggling more than usual.” “Wealthier Americans have continued to spend lavishly.” This is the Trump economy. https://t.co/O0KwrxWpZs

Last month, @SecScottBessent claimed that despite Trump’s tariffs, in early 2026 “we are going to see the inflation curve bend down.” But according to major retailers, the tariffs will soon make prices rise even higher—the worst is yet to come. https://t.co/4vbv1Z4VMD

Trump thinks the only reason people are talking about affordability is because Democrats keep bringing it up. No. It’s because my constituents keep bringing it up, and it’s my duty to fight for them. Maybe Trump should try listening to the American people.

The perfect heist turns into a terrifying nightmare in Dark Hours. Will you survive the night? Play now on Steam!

THIS SUNDAY on @MeetThePress with @kwelkernbc, exclusive interviews with: ➡️ @SenTomCotton (R-Ark.) ➡️ @SenAdamSchiff (D-Calif.) ➡️ @RepJamesClyburn (D-S.C.)

Mike Johnson is right. This will be the most “consequential Congress” in our lifetime. - $1T in tax cuts for the top 1% - $1T in cuts to Medicaid - $200B in cuts to SNAP - Average ACA marketplace monthly premiums to double All of this will have dire consequences for our country.

As Trump calls concerns over affordability a “Democrat scam,” twice as many Americans believe he’s doing more to raise prices (49%) than lower them (24%). Americans are concerned about costs. Donald Trump doesn’t seem to care.

The former president of Honduras helped facilitate the trafficking of hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States and was sentenced to 45 years in prison—but Trump pardoned him because he was a political ally. So much for “America First.”

Don't be fooled. Replacing the income tax with tariffs would be a massive tax cut for the rich and a huge tax increase for those struggling to afford essentials. This is Trump's plan. More for the rich — and trying to dress it up as good for Americans.

Sleigh the season with the most personal gift around. Get them a Cameo video!

Trump and his billionaire friends may think affordability “doesn’t mean anything to anybody.” But for millions of Americans, it means not living paycheck to paycheck just to cover basic needs. Trump seems completely detached from the reality people are facing in this country.

On Thanksgiving, we gather with family and friends to appreciate the many blessings we hold dear. Wishing everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

My prayers are with the members of the National Guard who were shot this afternoon in Washington, D.C. My thoughts are with their loved ones during this tragedy. Violence of any kind is unacceptable and must always be condemned.

Electricity costs are up nearly 8% in South Carolina since last year. And what’s Trump doing about it? Hanging out with rich big tech CEOs whose data centers are spiking demand—while slashing investments in cheap, clean energy that could boost supply and drive prices down.
