Our child care system is broken – it's WAY too expensive, too scarce, and providers can barely make ends meet. A protected, nationwide trust fund for child care could change that – and I have a plan. (1/2).

State trust funds can come with an unexpected cost.

20 years ago, our government utterly failed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But we learned – Congress reformed FEMA and invested in disaster response. Now, Trump is taking us backwards – reversing these reforms and gutting FEMA. History will repeat itself if this continues.
FEMA employees warned Congress that the Trump administration had reversed the progress made in disaster response since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Trump and his family have made over $3.4 BILLION while in office. We’ve never seen profiteering at this scale – not even close. While costs rise for Americans, Trump is using the White House to rake in as much money for himself as possible.

After leaving office in 2001, Bill Clinton signed a “record book deal” for $10 million. The amount of money Trump has made has no historical equivalent.

Trump’s Big Ugly Law killed ACA premium tax credits. Starting next year, premiums will increase by an average 75% – or more. We’re talking hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more per month. People can’t afford Trump's America.

DOGE put hundreds of millions of Americans at risk by being careless with our Social Security data. While Trump gives tax breaks to billionaires, he’ll take away your health care & food assistance – and he’ll make it easier for your identity to be stolen.

DOGE team members uploaded a database with the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to a vulnerable cloud server, according to the agency’s chief data officer.

If you thought Trump’s tariffs couldn’t get worse, think again. This Friday, costs for many shoppers and small businesses are about to go up – again.

Our troops shouldn’t be patrolling American cities. This is exactly what dictators do when they’re trying to control their citizens and suppress opposition.

It’s no wonder Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections, because the American people HATE his signature law. He knows he can’t win a fair fight.

Trump said he’s no longer referring to the new law as the One Big Beautiful Bill. The law’s title isn’t helping with the sales pitch, Trump said.

This type of hateful language is unacceptable. It’s meant to intimidate, silence, and belittle Supervisor Montgomery Steppe and the Black community, but we won’t let it. Hate, racism, and bigotry have no place in San Diego.

Today during the Board of Supervisors meeting, I was called a house n***er by a member of the public. The N-word is deeply rooted in a history of dehumanization and the brutal legacy of slavery. In...

I’m heartbroken for the families at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Back-to-school season should be something that families look forward to – instead of bringing the dread, fear, and trauma that comes with our country’s school shooting epidemic. This needs to end.
Two children were killed and at least 17 people injured after a gunman opened fire during a Catholic school mass, police say. The shooter is dead. Follow live updates:.

The Trump Administration has denied Kilmar Abrego Garcia his full rights to due process again and again, and now he could be disappeared to Uganda. No one deserves to have their rights violated. And right now, no one's rights are safe.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who the U.S. wrongfully deported to El Salvador, was taken into ICE custody on Monday, his lawyer said, after the Trump administration indicated it planned to deport him again, this time to Uganda.
