I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Teaching a child to swim reduces drowning risk by up to 88%. The CDC's drowning prevention program reached 22,000 children in 2024 at $110 per child before being eliminated by the Trump administration.

CDC’s ability to prevent injuries like drowning, traumatic brain injury and falls is severely compromised by Trump cuts

Preventable injuries and deaths kill more Americans in the first half of life than any other cause, including cancer. Yet the programs aimed at addressing them have been gutted by CDC layoffs.

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

The Black Panthers are distributing food to those who have dire need due to suspension of food assistance programs. Are Turning Point USA doing the same?

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."

He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

I helped lead the fight to raise the minimum wage in Minnesota - and index it to inflation.

I'm going to do the same damn thing in the US Senate.
