Inflation just hit the highest point in three years as groceries, gas, and other basics just keep getting more expensive. Trump's response? He loves it. Unbelievable. See for yourself:

Social Security is a lifeline that Americans earn after a lifetime of hard work, but in six years its trust fund will not be able to pay out its full benefits. I joined my colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, to demand that Congress act to preserve this program for our kids and grandkids.

Arizona depends on the Colorado River, and it cannot wait for everyone to agree. The Interior Department needs a plan now. Keep the system from collapsing, assess the risk fairly, and move resources as fast as possible.

Trump’s economy: 4.2% inflation and working families squeezed on gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing. The priorities are backwards. End this illegal war and let’s focus on making life affordable.

Trump and Republicans just handed ICE $70 billion. How much more money do they need to pad the wallets of big corporations like GEO Group and fund the lawlessness in our streets and the cruelty inside detention centers like Delaney Hall? It's OUR money and it's disgusting.

First Trump’s tariffs raised prices, now his unauthorized war is causing energy prices to soar. It's clear Republicans in Washington don't care about the strain they are putting on Americans’ wallets.

This is the HIGHEST inflation rate we've see in 3 years. Everything is more expensive: gas, plane tickets, electricity, groceries, healthcare, rent. We can't afford Trump's America any longer.

As President Trump signs the Republicans’ bill to give $70 billion to ICE and CBP without any commonsense reforms, I’m thinking of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. They should still be here, and they deserve accountability.

Trump is using taxpayer dollars meant to maintain the beauty of our national parks for his own vanity projects instead. Trump’s self‑aggrandizing is coming at the cost of maintaining California’s most treasured natural wonders.

Instead of focusing on lowering costs for you and your family, Trump decided to plunge us into a disastrous war of choice in the Middle East. Now, inflation is the highest it’s been in years, and there’s no end in sight.

Trump may not care about Americans' financial situation, but his illegal war is hurting working people every day. Inflation is at the highest level since 2023 & prices on everything from gas to groceries have gone up. This war is making us less safe & worse off. We must end it.

Donald Trump's policies are accelerating Social Security’s insolvency. Here’s a common-sense solution: My bill would fund Social Security for the next 75 YEARS by making the wealthy pay their fair share — and EXPAND benefits at the same time. It’s time to act.

An inflation rate of 4.2% is too high for American households to endure. Rising energy prices because of the war with Iran is the biggest reason the cost of living is going up and this Administration has no plan to deal with it.

It’s been 63 years since the Equal Pay Act was signed into law, yet women are still being paid less than men, earning just 81 cents for every $1 earned by a man. Equal pay for equal work shouldn’t be controversial, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure it is achieved.

4.2% inflation. The highest in three years. At some point, Republicans have to stop rubber-stamping every expensive priority and start focusing on lowering costs.

I drove by the Dept. of Labor this morning and had to laugh. Trump put his face on a sign that says "American workers first." American workers first? Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of workers fired because of DOGE.

The Trump admin insists they review every refugee case based on its merits, & that it has nothing to do with race. Look at their own quota system: nearly 100% white. So much for merit-based.

Nearly every day the past 100 days, Trump has claimed a peace deal with Iran was "imminent." Today: new airstrikes, still no deal. Our troops are risking their lives, and Americans are bearing the costs of a conflict they did not want and have gained nothing from. Trump’s war must end.

Since taking office last year, the Trump family has amassed a staggering $2.3 billion fortune from crypto deals alone. Any crypto legislation needs to stop the massive conflict of interests posed by Donald Trump and his family’s crypto ventures.

The bare minimum requirement for an attorney general is to respect the constitution and the rule of law above all. Todd Blanche doesn’t even meet those basic requirements. He shouldn’t be the next leader of the DOJ.

Watch Trump’s attempts to cast doubt on the results of the California elections closely. This is probably just a test run for some of the interference he’s going to attempt in our midterms. We cannot let him get away with it.

It is infuriating just how little Trump cares about the average American family. He is singlehandedly driving up costs through his reckless war of choice with Iran and stupid tariffs. Just remember: Republicans could stop Trump anytime—they're choosing not to.

Trump is not a deal maker, he is a deal breaker. In 2015, we passed a good deal with Iran that stopped a bomb, but Trump tore it up to create a crisis. Then Iran enriched, and Trump attacked. 100 days of war, $100 billion bill for taxpayers, 100% failure. Totally avoidable.

Trump officially nominated Todd Blanche to be Attorney General permanently. “Attorney General” might appear on his business card, but we all know his job description will stay the same: Trump’s fixer, bagman, hired gun. We will fight his confirmation relentlessly.
