Ashley Hinson has spent the last four years voting in lockstep with Trump and Republicans in Congress—cutting funding for food stamps, taking money from rural hospitals, and plunging America into another forever war. Jen is her constituent. And she's got some things to say about her performance.

This cancer survivor's health insurance premiums skyrocketed by OVER $500 a month, thanks to Trump's so-called "big beautiful bill" — making Trump's self-aggrandizing "refund" checks little more than an insult.

From health insurance companies to AI tech and data center bros, the billionaires bankrolling MAGA Inc.’s $200M+ spending in midterm ads have benefitted big time from Trump's time in office. Why are they paying for these ads and do they expect anything in return?

Women are dying of sepsis in emergency room parking lots because Republican policies have made doctors too afraid to provide the care they need. Nothing about that is pro-life.

Neera Tanden: Katie Zacharia lied about her credentials during her first briefing as White House Press Secretary. How will she be able to brief the public about what's happening in the government?

Neera Tanden: James Talarico has Texans asking "Why do Americans have to pay more when the President, Ken Paxton, and those around them do favors for themselves?"

Americans don't want masked agents in unmarked cars murdering our neighbors. We reject the idea that the government must terrorize our communities in order to keep the border secure.

James Talarico: We've got to force data center companies to pay for their own energy and reuse their water so they aren't exacerbating the affordability and water crises for American families.

James Talarico: When we fail to stand up to an aggressor in Europe, it comes back to haunt us. We learned that as a country during World War II. That's why we need to stand with Ukraine against Putin's war of aggression.

James Talarico: We've got teachers who are driving Ubers at night to make extra money right now. Teaching the next generation is critically important, yet we're nickel and dimeing the professionals teaching our kids. Every kid, no matter their zip code, deserves a high quality education.

James Talarico: Lorenzo Salgado was the kind of person we want in this country. His three boys called him el Mundo Entero. The whole world, and they watched as their whole world died. Lorenzo Salgado was a child of god, endowed with infinite worth. Lorenzo, our fellow Texan, deserves justice.

James Talarico: Having a secure border is important, but so is having a pathway to citizenship for our neighbors who have been here for years and decades.

James Talarico: Under the Trump administration, we've seen masked men in unmarked vehicles kidnaping our neighbors off our street. We were told that ICE was going to go after violent criminals, but that's not what they're doing. They should be going after violent gang members, not moms and babies.

James Talarico: "The truth is that we are all on the same team. We are far more the same than we are different. Imagine what we could do if we did it together. Imagine who we could take on in this country if we did it together as one team."

Iowa has the state has the second highest rate of new cancer in the U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson said we need to make sure we're investing in infrastructure that will keep Iowans' water clean, but her voting record says otherwise.

Iowa has some of the highest cancer rates in the country, so why is Rep. Hinson voting to weaken environmental protections that could be the cause? Blake traveled to DC to tell her directly: if he makes his baby's formula with the water from home, his youngest daughter could die. Watch what she did.
