Groceries and gas prices are soaring thanks to Trump’s illegal tariffs and painful war.

None of these price increases were inevitable – they’re a direct result of policy choices by this President.

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Tulsi Gabbard and her family as her husband battles cancer. Anyone who has watched a loved one go through a serious illness understands the toll it takes, and I wish him strength and hope for a full recovery in the difficult days ahead. I also appreciate her willingness to serve her country in a variety of different roles.

The Director of National Intelligence is entrusted with one of the most serious responsibilities in government: providing objective, fact-based intelligence to policymakers and the American people, regardless of politics or pressure from the White House. At a time when the boundaries between verified intelligence and politically convenient claims have too often been blurred, it is critical that the office remain grounded in facts, independence, and the rule of law. The next DNI must be committed to restoring trust in the office, protecting the integrity of our intelligence, and ensuring our nation’s intelligence professionals can speak truth to power, without fear or interference.

Government should work to make things more affordable for Americans – that’s why I’m fighting every week to lower housing, child care, and energy costs.

Trump views this government as his personal piggy bank, shaking it down for ballrooms, slush funds, and insider trades.
