Trump wants $1 BILLION for a ballroom. That's enough money for nearly a billion pounds of food for Hawaii food banks. After forcing grocery costs to skyrocket and slashing SNAP, Republicans are doing nothing but stroke Trump's ego as Americans struggle to put food on the table.

At the Park Plaza Co-op in Fridley, I heard directly from manufactured home owners across Minnesota who are working to protect their communities. Together, we can and will do more to make housing affordable for all Minnesotans.

A year ago, we lost a towering fighter for Virginians – Rep. Gerry Connolly. This week, we honored his legacy with action – passing legislation that would help prevent esophageal cancer by studying early screening & treatment.

Everything this administration is doing is moving the needle in the wrong direction on energy costs.

Our bill to support rural hospitals in Delta, Montrose, Glenwood Springs, and San Luis Valley unanimously passed the Senate. I urge my colleagues in the House to act quickly to ensure our rural communities maintain this critical lifeline.

More Republicans are speaking out against the President's war. They're hearing from their constituents about a war that hasn't accomplished any of the goals that President Trump set out and is driving up costs at the gas pump and grocery store.

The Trump-Blanche Justice Department announced last month it’s bringing back firing squads last month. A total step backwards. I just introduced a bill to ban the federal death penalty once and for all.

Republicans slashed health care tax credits to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy – and now your deductible is climbing by as much as $1,000 as a result. What did they think would happen?

Enough with the money for slush funds, bombs, and tax breaks for billionaires. Republicans created a healthcare emergency by letting ACA subsidies expire, putting coverage at risk for millions of Americans. We need to get back to lowering costs for working families.

With prices up across the board due to the President's war in Iran, my INSULIN Act would provide real relief to families struggling with the increased health care costs they've seen since the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

President Trump didn't need to raise the price of groceries with his tariffs. He didn't need to raise the price of gas by starting a war with Iran. He didn't need to raise the price of health care to give billionaires tax cuts. He's raising your costs by choice.

Our troops deserve a Commander in Chief who does right by them. Not one that throws them into an unjustified war with no plan and no end state—and works to hollow out the VA.

Americans don’t want to pay $5 for a gallon of gas. Americans don’t want to pay a billion dollars for a luxury ballroom. Americans don’t want to pay billions for a slush fund for January 6 rioter payouts. But that’s what this president is trying to force them to do.

Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense—using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. Impeach now.

No one should have to choose between the cost of lifesaving insulin and putting food on the table. We need to provide some help amid soaring health care costs, and by capping monthly insulin costs at $35, my INSULIN Act would do just that.

Instead of working to ensure that no one is above the law, Todd Blanche has been busy giving President Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card and sending taxpayer dollars to his political allies. I'm calling on him to immediately resign as the Acting Attorney General.

Same old story: big bucks to Trump’s fossil fuel donors, but huge costs “which will most likely wind up on household electricity bills.” They’re making you pay their pay-off to big donors, raising your costs. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/c...

Donald Trump is letting AI deny care for seniors on Medicare. If there's a way to make your life worse and more expensive than it is today, he'll do it. I'm leading the charge to make sure this plan dies the death it deserves.

Not a single one of Trump’s ridiculous grift projects is lowering fuel prices, cutting grocery bills, or helping families keep up with rising costs. Americans are struggling to afford the basics while Trump focuses on enriching himself and his inner circle.

Have you or a loved one been affected by Trump's policies? Paying more for gas because of his war against Iran? Well, under this President, you're entitled to exactly nothing. UNLESS you stormed the Capitol, then you may get a payout from his NEW $1.8 BILLION MAGA slush fund.

Gas is still above $4.50. Housing and child care prices are just getting worse. And Trump & Republicans’ top priorities this week are a golden ballroom and a slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters.

The President just used his power to exempt himself from pending tax audits. He set up a billion dollar slush fund to pay his friends. He is directly profiting off of public office to a staggering degree.

The 30-year Treasury yield just hit its highest level since 2007 — right before the financial crisis. That means more expensive mortgages. Costlier car loans. Higher credit card interest rates. Trump promised to lower costs. His reckless agenda is doing the opposite.
