Americans deserve to know that no one is above the law, especially the President of the United States. The Department of Justice must protect the people – not those who break the law.

Congressional Republicans are making Americans sicker by ripping away health insurance from millions.

These are their priorities: take from the hardworking American people and give to the rich and powerful. They’re not even trying to hide it.

More people who lost coverage after congressional Republicans ended enhanced federal subsidies are now seeking care in emergency rooms and unable to pay bills.

On the 61st anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare, Donald Trump and Republicans have made it clear: they don't care about your health care.

Since passing their Big Beautiful Betrayal, more than 8 million Americans have lost their health coverage. Now, the Trump administration is ending assistance that helps seniors on Medicare afford the prescription drugs they need. Senate Democrats are fighting back.

While families struggle with rising costs, Trump's answer is to make seniors pay more for their prescription drugs. No one should have to choose between paying for life-saving medicine and paying their bills.

Millions of older Americans could pay more for their prescription drug coverage next year.

Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with Tribal leaders from across New Mexico. I’m grateful for their leadership in the fight to protect Chaco Canyon. We are standing together to fight back against the Trump administration’s proposed sell-off of Chaco to oil and gas drillers, and we are not backing down.

There’s still time to make your voice heard and tell Trump: keep your hands off Chaco. Submit a public comment TODAY.

I voted against confirming Jay Clayton as President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence. This position must be guided by facts, not conspiracy theories or blind political loyalty.

Jay Clayton appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee for his confirmation hearing to become director of national intelligence. The job is largely focused on foreign threats and national security, but much of the hearing focused instead on the recent past. Nick Schifrin reports and discusses...
