Inflation is outpacing wages for the first time in three years, and Trump wants $1 billion of your money for his golden ballroom.

Americans are taking out loans for groceries, clothing, and other basic needs. Families should not have to go into debt just to get through the week. This is Trump’s economy, and working people are paying the price. thehill.com/business/583...

I had a great visit to Colonna Shipyard last week to hear more about the work they’re doing to support the Navy and meet with regional stakeholders to discuss how we can ensure Virginia remains the center of naval shipbuilding and repair.

Families across the country are having to choose between keeping the lights on and putting gas in their cars. But sure. "The most energy affordable nation in the world."

Instead of changing his policies, Donald Trump is trying to change the shape of the electorate. That's what wannabe dictators do when they feel their grip on power slipping.

One in five Americans lost their ACA health insurance because they couldn’t afford their premiums. Trump and MAGA Republicans killed the tax credits that made coverage more affordable. Now, American families are paying the price. We must restore the tax credits before more people become uninsured.

A truly heartbreaking reality under Trump: Mothers are starving themselves so they can afford to feed their children. Trump cut food assistance for American families to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Each month Trump’s war drags on, the pain increases for American families. Republicans must vote with us this week to end the war and bring down these Trump-induced, skyrocketing costs.

This is Trump’s war tax on you: Higher gas prices. Higher grocery prices. Higher inflation. You’re paying for it - all because he started an illegal, costly war with no plan.

President Trump owns this increase. His war with Iran has skyrocketed oil and gas prices with no end in sight. Trump’s recklessness is costing Americans at the pump and at the supermarket.

Americans wanted prices to come down. Then, Trump started an unnecessary war with Iran that has killed U.S. servicemembers and is driving prices even higher. How much more pain is he willing to inflict on the American people? apnews.com/article/us-i...

Republicans don't want to talk about gas prices, just like how they don't want to talk about skyrocketing healthcare premiums or rising grocery bills. They're too scared to stand up to Trump, and the American people are paying the price.

12 days after gutting the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS has turned back the clock in Alabama. Like Louisiana, this will dilute Black voting power and dismantle protections needed to fight discrimination. Another dark day for our democracy.

Trump’s ballroom is another example of this administration’s misplaced priorities. Americans see that — and they don’t support it.

Help with daycare? Too expensive. Healthcare you can afford? Nope. But paying his friend millions of taxpayer dollars to paint the bottom of the Reflecting Pool? Absolutely. The corruption never ends.

While millions lose their insurance thanks to Trump & Republicans' decision to slash Medicaid & ACA tax credits, corporate hospitals are jacking up prices. Let's end the system that allows corporations to rake in huge profits from sick people. It's time for Medicare for All.

The Minnesota Legislature voted to establish an independent Office of the Inspector General to investigate fraud - the bill passed with strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. This is an important step in rooting out fraud and holding government accountable.

Trump dragged America into an illegal, costly war without any goals or endgame and has the nerve to call it a “mini-war” The best way to lower costs and end the chaos is to end this war Democrats are forcing a 7th vote on our War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities with Iran

As gas prices rise and the cost of living climbs because of this reckless war, this Admin is asking taxpayers to spend another $1 BILLION on a ballroom. Hardworking Americans are struggling to get by while this White House treats taxpayer dollars like Monopoly money.

President Trump promised his White House ballroom wouldn’t cost the American taxpayer a penny. Now, he’s pushing Republicans in Congress to allocate $1 billion for its construction. Just another one of his broken promises.

Republicans are racing to give Trump $1 billion for his ballroom & Trump is spending your tax dollars—not to lower your costs—but to repaint the Reflecting Pool. Are Republicans going to say anything or keep silently bending the knee?

The Trump admin sells out ranchers, again. Foreign meatpackers thrive; American consumers and ranchers suffer. You want to lower costs? Break the beef monopoly, rein in foreign corporations, and restore competition. I’ve got a bill to do just that. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Here’s more proof that DOGE was a failure: The Federal Student Aid office is scrambling to hire hundreds of employees after DOGE gutted their office last year. Looks like firing the workers who help students afford school wasn't eliminating "waste, fraud, and abuse" after all.

It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat, a Republican, or where you live. We're all fed up with Trump's war in Iran and his Trump Tariff Tax. This November, we're electing leaders who will stand up against Trump's recklessness, bring down the price of groceries and gas, and put America first.

Trump keeps claiming that the conflict in Iran is almost over… in reality, the Strait remains closed, gas prices are up, and we’re still deep in this forever war. The man that ran on lowering costs and ending wars is 0/2.

Another extension, but this shouldn't be complicated. Mifepristone is safe and effective, and women should be able to get abortion medication through the mail or telehealth if they need. Extremist judges shouldn't get to decide how women get health care.

It's this simple: Government officials shouldn't be making rules that govern businesses that they or their families OWN. But time and again Trump admin officials are caught doing that. More corruption from the most corrupt admin in history.
