Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

This isn't just bad news for our auto industry — it’s a blow to American workers.

And it's only happening because Donald Trump is pushing our allies away by chasing vanity projects like annexing Canada and Greenland.

That’s not leadership, that’s chaos.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.

She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.

As Trump tells the public not to trust their own eyes, voices across the military, law enforcement, and former ICE agents are calling this a murder.
This is exactly what I told someone yesterday.

Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.

Donald Trump is President of, by, and for Wall Street. Megabank CEOs are cashing in on his deregulation to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Meanwhile, families are struggling with overdraft fees, credit card bills, auto loan payments, and more.

It's rigged.

Donald Trump says we're going to “run” Venezuela, and then his Secretary of State says, not really. And then Donald Trump says we're going to run Venezuela again and again and again.

The administration can't even get its own story straight.

American families are getting flattened under sky-high costs for just about everything — groceries, rent, health care.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's focused on making his gold-encrusted ballroom even taller.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.

But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

The president doesn’t have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner.

Killing civilians is a crime under both domestic and international law. That's why we and our partners are suing the Trump administration to demand they release their legal justifications for these unlawful strikes.
