Trump vows to end use of mail-in ballots ahead of 2026 midterm election U.S. President Donald Trump pledged on Monday to issue an executive order to end the use of mail-in ballots and voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, a move likely to disproportionately favor his Republican Party.

My homebound 97-year-old grandma was just saying today that Trump is the worst president in history. She knows what’s up.

I’m horrified by the shootings targeting Minnesota lawmakers, including Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman.

Violence is never the answer. Never.

I'm holding everyone affected by this attack in my heart.

One of Congress’ Wealthiest Members Made Stock Trades Worth Millions After Trump Announced Tariffs Rep. Jefferson Shreve bought and sold millions in stocks between April 7 and April 17, according to a review of congressional records.

No lawmaker in Congress β€” with access to all kinds of non-public information β€” should own, buy, and sell individuals stocks.
Β 
It's time to BAN congressional stock trading.

So Trump gets a $400 million plane to take with him when he leaves office and Qatar walks away with $1.2 trillion in deals. A win-win for them, just not for the American public.

Judge Sessions is right. Neither Rumeysa Ozturk or anyone else in America should be in jail for authoring an op-ed critical of Israel, or on any subject.

Trump and colleagues should read the Constitution and, especially, the First Amendment.

Ozturk must be released immediately.

The Trump administration is exploring plans to suspend habeas corpus rights for immigrants, one of the most fundamental protections in the Constitution.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Live updates: Trump cuts short talks with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy after Oval Office blow up President Donald Trump has cut short talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after he and and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukraine’s leader in the Oval Office.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show β€” throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.

It's shameful and dangerous.

I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

Washington Post headline that says "Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system" and a photo of Elon Musk with his kid on his shoulders. The caption for the photo says "Elon Musk walks through the Capitol complex with his son on his shoulders during meetings about the 'Department of Government Efficiency' in December. Musk allies now have access to sensitive payment systems run by the Treasury Department."

Using a two-month-old photo of Musk because he's with his kid and it makes him look loving or cute is a choice by an unnamed Washington Post editor who is working on behalf of Jeff Bezos to soften the image of a fascist takeover
