Americans are loud and clear: Not one more cent toward the illegal Iran war. When I put forth an amendment to the defense bill that would halt funding from this war, Republicans blocked it. Once the Senate returns, it’s time for them to reconsider.

Vietnam veteran Michael Lemmon is at the center of the fight to stop Trump’s arch at Arlington National Cemetery. Watch him explain why this matters so much to him.

We’re never letting Trump’s Arch see the light of day. No more taxpayer dollars toward building vanity projects. We’re rebuilding America.

Let's do it. Let's dare him to veto: 
— Ending the Iran war — Canceling $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts — Restoring ACA Tax Credits — Raising the federal minimum wage — Terminating tariffs and issuing refunds to consumers — Forcing data centers to pay for their own energy and water — Banning presidential and congressional stock trading

Americans showed up and delivered Democratic majorities in Congress. Now, Democrats need to show up and deliver too. Cancel Trump's Medicaid cuts. Lower costs for families. End the war. And then we keep going.

Americans made themselves loud and clear: they’ve had enough of Donald Trump’s crushing incompetence, corruption and sky-high costs. Illinois is ready to fight back and deliver.

Donald Trump's dangerously low Halloween flyover was a reckless vanity stunt. He terrified local residents, disrupted flights and risked aviation safety to parade around his new Qatar-gifted toy—wasting taxpayer dollars, even as prices keep soaring. I'm demanding answers.

Chris Murphy’s chief says the 53-year-old Democratic senator had a stroke. “Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke. He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery.”

Donald Trump is the smallest man with an ego so paper-thin that he’s abusing his power to meddle with the election in Alaska. Because he knows he’s going to lose. They know the American people are rejecting their lies, higher costs and corruption. And they will do anything to distract from their own failures. It will not work. In America, voters choose who will lead them. Not the other way around.

Americans deserve a government of, by and for the people. Trump is leading a presidency of, by and for him and the billionaire class.

Officially 8 months into an illegal war the President said would only take a few weeks. 22 servicemembers killed. Hundreds more wounded. Munitions stockpile drained. Military bases damaged. Diplomatic footprint eroded. $47+ billion spent. Republican inaction is unforgivable.

Dolores Huerta was a true force for good. She taught us all what it means to fight for the voiceless, ensuring generations of workers have better wages, safer working conditions and a fairer shot at the American Dream.   Her legacy will inspire us forever. ¡Sí, se puede!

That makes 5 out of more than 300. Hardly a drop in the bucket. Can't say you've removed "all barriers" when there's still billions in energy projects being illegally blocked.

SCOOP: The Trump administration is approving 3 more wind projects (2 in Illinois and 1 in Iowa) stalled by the Pentagon in a bid to win Dem support for the bipartisan permitting reform bill. It’s the 2nd tranche of ongoing approvals. Text subscribers got it first!
