Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent has claimed that Trump's tariffs are helping to balance the budget — but the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board blasted the claim as nothing more than smoke and mirrors, and some misleading accounting.

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

Trump’s stablecoin is shady and a national security risk. He’s cashing in on foreign crypto deals—and weakening guardrails that protect our advanced technology. The Senate shouldn’t greenlight this corruption by passing the GENIUS Act without fixes.

If you're buying concert tickets or booking a hotel, companies are now required to tell you the full price up front. No more tricks or traps. This is what it looks like when government holds corporations accountable.

Donald Trump has a new Social Security Commissioner. I’m pressing for answers on nearly 200 unanswered questions about his administration’s attempts to cut Americans’ benefits.

While Americans pay the price for Donald Trump's senseless trade war, it looks like Trump officials are using tariffs as a bargaining chip to get sweetheart deals for Elon Musk’s companies. Looks like corruption to me.

Republicans in Congress are making it harder to put food on the table just so they can fund tax giveaways for their billionaire buddies.

The Trump Administration is trying to destroy the little agency that's put $21 billion back in the pockets of Americans who have been ripped off by big banks and giant corporations. But Congress created the CFPB, and we’re fighting back.

I keep hearing Republicans claim their budget doesn't cut Medicaid. We all know that's a lie — so I asked the nonpartisan CBO to look into it. Their analysis confirms it: the Republican budget delivers the largest Medicaid cuts in history to pay for giveaways to billionaires.
BREAKING: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed Republicans who say their budget doesn't cut Medicaid are lying. Their budget *requires* the largest Medicaid cuts in American history - all while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to billionaire donors.

What does it mean for DOGE to "make mistakes" with seniors' Social Security? Long wait times, underpayments, or no payments at all. The richest man in the world is sticking his fingers in the benefits our seniors have paid for their entire working lives.
