Democrats must use all leverage possible to try to stop Trump's illegal war in Iran. We're demanding public hearings. And will continue to force votes on the Senate floor. 🧵

Instead of lowering prices for you, Republicans are busy dreaming up new ways to make the rich even richer. Here’s their latest idea: sidestepping Congress to hand another giant tax cut to the top 1%.

Trump has already spent at least $10 billion taxpayer dollars on this war in Iran… and that number is only going to go up. Trump always finds the money for bombs, but not for Americans’ health care.

If you had a nickel for every time Trump switched up his story, you might be able to afford the price of gas that’s skyrocketed since he started his illegal war. Working families deserve better.

Trump Admin officials should not profit off war & death. But as prediction market betting spreads, the CFTC is letting insiders anonymously profit from wagers placed before public news of U.S. military actions, creating a dangerous breeding ground for corruption & nat’l sec risks.

Donald Trump is preparing to hold our government hostage unless we help him undermine our right to vote, our elections, our democracy. This is what he does. He's a thug and a bully. Democrats will not support passage of the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

So Trump wants to keep the option of drafting other people's kids into war on the table. All for a war of choice as he spends billions on bombs and cuts funding for health care here at home. This could NOT be more wrong—Congress should END the war in Iran & FUND health care.

Nevada families are already being squeezed by the rising cost of groceries, rent, and health care – and now they’re paying over $4 a gallon at the gas pump. Trump’s response to skyrocketing prices? “If they rise, they rise.” You foot the bill and he doesn’t care at all.

In 2023 I chaired an antitrust hearing on Live Nation/Ticketmaster after the Taylor Swift concert debacle. It was clear then that this three-headed monopoly (ticketing, venues, promotion) must be broken up. DOJ undermined the case and hurt fans. Ticket prices won’t go down.

When Trump said this strike was "done by Iran," he was lying, just as he lied about keeping America out of wars. He & Sec. Hegseth are responsible for the killing of these 175 people, most of them children. They must be held accountable. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

Because of Trump’s cuts to health care, rural hospitals across the country are at risk of closing. Republicans in Congress voted for this. Trump signed it into law. And we’re going to hold them accountable for it in November.

Trump is calling higher oil prices “a very small price to pay” adding that “only fools would think differently.” The reality is that Americans don’t want another war and they don’t want higher prices at the pump. Trump is out of touch.

There is a growing sickness in the Republican Party that spawns this virulent hatred. Replace 'Muslims' with any other faith & this man would be run out of Congress. Their tolerance for this bigotry is a cancer in their ranks. Hate, in all its forms, should find no refuge here.

High gas prices aren’t just painful at the pump – literally anything that is shipped (that is to say, almost everything) is affected by fuel prices.

Trump’s words speak for themselves. He thinks the surge in gas prices is a “very small price to pay.” That might be true for him and the Epstein class, but not for regular working people.
