In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

Republicans passed a massive veterans bill on Veterans Day, claiming it was a historic victory for the men and women who served this country.
But buried inside that package are provisions that take money out of veterans’ pockets.
Here’s what they slipped in:
1. They changed disability ratings for tinnitus and sleep apnea. Under the new rules, most veterans would lose the ability to receive a separate compensable disability rating for tinnitus.
For sleep apnea, higher disability ratings would become harder to qualify for, potentially reducing compensation for future veterans.
2. They nearly tripled a VA home refinancing fee. The fee for Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans goes from 0.50% to 1.42%.
3. They doubled another VA home-loan fee. The fee for assuming an existing VA-backed mortgage goes from 0.50% to 1%.
4. They added another 1% fee for certain newly eligible National Guard and Reserve members. The bill expands VA home-loan eligibility for some people who previously didn’t qualify, but that new eligibility comes with an additional fee.
And here’s where the contrast gets interesting.
Democrats are pushing the clean, standalone Major Richard Star Act.
This legislation would end the so-called wounded veteran tax.
Right now, combat-injured veterans who were medically retired with fewer than 20 years of service can have their military retirement pay reduced when they receive VA disability compensation. They earned both benefits. They should receive both.
The Major Richard Star Act would fix that injustice, allowing eligible veterans to collect their full military retirement pay AND their VA disability compensation.
No cuts to tinnitus benefits. No cuts to sleep apnea benefits. No making other veterans pay for it.
That’s how you help veterans.
Republicans bundled some genuinely worthwhile benefits into their bill, but they also attached cuts and higher costs. Democrats are fighting to pass the Star Act on its own, without taking benefits away from other veterans.
Our veterans shouldn’t have to compete with each other for the benefits they earned.

🚨 HABBA CHARGED! Trump attorney Alina Habba is facing formal ethics charges in New Jersey that could put her law license at risk.
The New Jersey Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Ethics accuses Habba of serious misconduct involving a 21-year-old employee at Trump’s Bedminster golf club who alleged sexual harassment.
According to the complaint, Habba helped broker a $15,000 settlement containing an illegal nondisclosure agreement. Investigators allege she had a conflict of interest, misled the employee about her role, and devalued the woman’s case. Habba and Trump’s golf club ultimately paid the employee a combined $400,000.
And that’s not all.
The New York Times reports that Habba was also FIRED last week from a lucrative $50 million contract for alleged “failure to perform duties.” She will reportedly keep $6.5 million in salary and an $8 million signing bonus. The firing came days after Times reporting about the arrangement reportedly triggered an angry outburst from Trump.
Habba, whose tenure as Trump’s acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey was ruled unlawful by federal courts, now faces a disciplinary proceeding that could threaten her law license.

BREAKING: Joe Biden is UNLOADING on Trump in an explosive excerpt from his new memoir published by The Atlantic.
And some of the revelations are extraordinary.
Here are the most shocking details:
• TRUMP PRIVATELY PRAISED BIDEN: Biden reveals that during their Oval Office meeting after the 2024 election, Trump suggested they could have been friends, talked about playing golf together, and praised Biden's job creation record as “extraordinary.”
• TRUMP TREATED NATIONAL SECURITY LIKE GOSSIP: Biden says that while briefing Trump about Ukraine, Russia, China, NATO, and the Middle East, Trump seemed more interested in the personalities of world leaders than the global crises themselves. Their scheduled 30-minute meeting lasted nearly TWO HOURS.
• JANUARY 6: Biden condemns Trump's pardons of Capitol rioters and writes that what Trump did on January 6 “should follow him to his grave.”
• THE SUPREME COURT: Biden sharply criticizes the Court's presidential-immunity ruling, arguing that it weakened accountability for Trump's conduct.
• ELON MUSK AND DOGE: Biden describes the administration as a “crueler government,” accusing Musk's DOGE initiative of gutting federal jobs and services for vulnerable Americans.
• BIG OIL: Biden describes oil and gas executives celebrating Trump's climate-policy reversals with champagne and Pop-Tarts bearing Trump's image at a luxury hotel near the White House.
• THE WHITE HOUSE: Biden accuses Trump of taking “a wrecking ball to our traditions and institutions,” pointing to the demolition of the White House's East Wing.
• CORRUPTION AND THE WEALTHY: Biden draws comparisons to the Gilded Age, warning about powerful interests writing rules for their own benefit and selling access to political power.
• FEAR AND INTIMIDATION: Biden warns that Americans are increasingly afraid of federal enforcement, threats to civil liberties, and government institutions being turned against them.

Stolen Valor: Per NYT reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig, Trump borrowed classmate Michael Scadron’s dress jacket (with its dozen medals attached) for his New York Military Academy senior yearbook portrait.
Scadron confirmed: “He’s wearing my medals on his uniform.” Trump had earned only a few of his own,... for neatness and conduct.
