Trump and Hegseth could stop this war, lower gas and grocery prices, and refund healthcare and SNAP.

Today, I join so many others mourning the loss of Dolores Huerta — a beloved labor icon, civil rights activist, and union champion who fought tirelessly for her community and inspired generations of Americans. Our prayers are with her family and friends.

Trump and his cabinet secretaries aren't committed to making life affordable, keeping us safe, or working toward a compassionate immigration system.

What are they committed to?

Burning the skin of immigrants with military-grade heat rays, apparently.

Reprehensible.
