Trump is gutting Wall Street safeguards and firing the examiners that make sure megabanks aren’t scamming you or putting our economy at risk.
Trump will own the next financial crisis, but we’re all going to pay for it.

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight.
Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs.
What happened to the art of the deal?

Under Donald Trump, 688 prescription drugs have gotten MORE EXPENSIVE.
And last night, he shut down the government to avoid lowering Americans’ health care costs.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!
