A new report from AARP shows that seniors with Medicare drug plans will save an average of $1,100 on prescription drugs in 2025 thanks to new out-of-pocket caps we passed in the Inflation Reduction Act. Democrats are taking on Big Pharma and winning.

Hamas committed unspeakable acts of violence on October 7. The leaders must be held accountable.

The Justice Department’s actions to curb Russian election interference efforts will help keep the 2024 elections safe and secure. We won’t allow Russia, or any of our adversaries, to meddle in our democracy.

The headline "deadliest school shooting this year" shouldn't exist in our society—it’s a policy choice America is making. It’s time to pass gun violence prevention legislation and change the headlines.
