Donald Trump used DOGE to damage our government, and it cost taxpayers billions. DOGE did nothing for working class people and instead helped billionaires and the ultra-wealthy. Our recent report exposes this corruption. We will hold the Trump administration accountable.

I keep reading how Republicans requiring voters to show passports will disenfranchise voters. But have Republicans stopped to realize that Democrats are more likely to have passports than Republicans?

The new rule is, “Give us your social media or don’t visit America.” The result is millions of tourists stay away.

Hotels, restaurants, and small businesses lose billions.

Jobs disappear while other countries take our visitors and our money.

Just unbelievably dumb.

GALLEGO: Why is the agent who shot Renee Good holding a camera phone & weapon?

LYONS: The US attorney was requiring to have video leading up to arrests, so officials have used phones for that

GALLEGO: Maybe you shouldn't be trying to be an influencer and wielding a weapon at the same time

LYONS: There's no reason for it

L: There's no reason for us to deploy, but we do investigate voter fraud

HUGE: Last night, House Democrats successfully passed a resolution in the House to rescind Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

Americans are paying thousands more because of Trump’s tariffs. This vote is a step toward ending Trump’s inflation crisis and lowering costs for working families.
