Donald Trump’s attacks on the SBA’s 8(a) program are attacks on Black and Brown-owned businesses. I’ll keep fighting to protect equity, access to capital, and real opportunity for every entrepreneur—not just the wealthiest few.

For too long, Black entrepreneurs have faced disparities in access to capital and government contracts. This has created obstacles to starting and growing their businesses. President Donald J. Trump and I are fighting to build a nation where everyone has the opportunity to compete and prosper.

Our Administration has worked to increase access to capital for women and minority-owned businesses. We have seen record growth of Latino-owned small businesses, and Latina small businesses are the fastest-growing in the country.

Northeast Ohio wants no part of Trump’s lawless, reckless, and dangerous ICE agenda. Not here. Not in Minnesota. Not anywhere. Proud to join the vigil in Cleveland Heights to remember those killed and to vow to keep fighting Trump’s ICE. The attacks on our communities must end.

As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, I recently held a hearing on the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program—a program designed to help Native communities thrive. This isn’t about DEI; it’s Congress fulfilling its constitutional duties and federal trust responsibility to Native peoples. Native entity-owned 8(a) participants reinvest their earnings in their communities—in line with their communities’ needs—practicing economic self-determination and building stronger futures for generations to come. Congress intentionally structured the 8(a) program to ensure these businesses are accountable to their communities while keeping the program transparent and effective. This was the right call—both for Native communities, and for their partners in the federal government.

Trump continues his attacks on Zelenskyy, and the Kremlin is backing him Trump continues his attacks on Zelinsky, and the Kremlin is backing him. "He refuses to have elections. He's low in the real Ukrainian polls. […] A dictator without elections, Zelenskyy gotta move fast or he won't have a country left," said Trump. Meanwhile, Putin's doormat Dmitry Medvedev, who over the past few years has never missed an opportunity to call for a nuclear strike on Washington and the mass extermination of Americans, has backed Donald Trump in his attacks on Zelenskyy. “Donald Trump is 200 percent right,” Medvedev wrote.

After a week of outrageous attacks on ADL and Holocaust education, I want to thank Jake Tapper 🦅 and The Lead CNN for spotlighting the facts. This isn’t just about ADL. It’s about fighting antisemitism in our schools, and standing up for truth, equity and education.

Trump and Republicans’ attacks on public broadcasting are direct attacks on the free press. NPR, PBS, and others keep every community in America safe and informed. They’re an essential public good and we should increase their funding, not cut it.
