For 40 years, my dad worked as a short-order cook and my mom cleaned houses. It’s because of their hard work and sacrifices that I stand here today, ready to preserve and fight for the American Dream.

Senator Kelly valiantly served our country as an aviator in the U.S. Navy before later completing four space shuttle missions as a NASA astronaut. To accuse him and other lawmakers of treason and sedition for rightfully pointing out that servicemembers can refuse illegal orders

Horrified by the shooting of two national guardsmen in Washington, DC today. There is no place for violence like this in America. Let’s pray for the victims and their families.

Last night, the FBI's Counterterrorism Division appeared to open an inquiry into me in response to a video President Trump did not like. The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal

Trump’s latest immigration crackdown? Targeting green-card applicants in San Diego.    Their latest set of arrests included the father of an autistic teenager, the wife of a Navy veteran, and the mother of a 6-month-old baby.    For Trump, it’s never been about public safety or

Donald Trump can try to intimidate me, but it’s not going to work. My job is to defend the Constitution and hold any president accountable.

Thanksgiving dinner is going to cost Americans more this year thanks to Trump’s tariffs.  The cost of turkey alone is up 36% at a time when so many are already struggling to make ends meet.  Meanwhile, the richest president in history spent the past few months fighting in court

The Trump Administration isn’t truly going after the “worst of the worst” — they’re scaring kids into bringing their passports to school or staying home entirely.

Trump is fighting in court to kick people off of food stamps.    Health care costs are more than doubling across the country.    The job market is stagnant and inflation is rising thanks to Trump's tariffs.    The holiday season is right around the corner.   And JD Vance is

¿Así es como tratamos a los inmigrantes trabajadores que pagan impuestos y contribuyen a sus comunidades? Me pesa el corazón por las madres, los padres, y las familias afectadas por la cruel agenda antiinmigrante del presidente.

Trump claims he wants lower interest rates — but his Administration is shelving the data the Fed needs to make that call next month. American families will pay the price. Release the data.

BREAKING: Trump just put the California coast up for sale. He wants to develop new offshore oil drilling for the first time in 40 years.    We won’t let him sacrifice our coastline to big oil executives.

The DHS’s abuse of power is already appalling, but Trump says it hasn’t ‘gone far enough’? The disgusting rhetoric that all immigrants should be ‘taken out’ isn’t just inhumane. It’s downright dangerous. The cruelty behind these actions is revolting.
