The administration’s latest attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell are just the most recent example of Donald Trump’s chaos-driven approach to the economy – and once again, it’s working Americans who will pay the price.
- MW
We have also seen the president attempt to remove a sitting Federal Reserve Board member, underscoring his willingness to attack the Fed for refusing to fall in line.
- MW
Unfortunately, we have seen this pattern before. Over the past year, the Justice Department has repeatedly targeted the president’s perceived political adversaries, only to have courts and grand juries reject these cases as baseless and politically motivated.

Uncertainty and instability can ripple through the economy, affecting borrowing costs and making it harder for families to buy a home, run a small business, or afford everyday necessities like food, fuel, and diapers.
- MW
That independence provides the stability that markets, investors, and everyday Americans rely on. Using the threat of criminal prosecution to pressure the Fed over interest rates is a direct assault on that foundation and puts the economic security of millions of Americans at risk.
- MW
The Fed was designed to operate independently, insulated from political pressure, so that it can make tough decisions based on data and the long-term health of the economy, not the whims of any one president.

Republicans passed a $75 BILLION budget for ICE, and are funding an enormous armada in Venezuela, but somehow can’t find the money to keep your health insurance costs down.
- MW
Trump is more focused on imperialist ambitions abroad than he is on lowering costs at home. 22 million Americans just had their health care costs skyrocket. Why are we talking about aggression towards Greenland?
- MW
Republicans passed a $75 billion budget for ICE – bigger than almost every military on earth. They’ve deployed thousands of poorly-vetted agents. Agents act with impunity because this admin acts like they can. But ICE is not above the law. We need a full, real investigation.

Servicemembers’ parents are calling me worried – they don’t want their kids deployed abroad in a conflict with no clear objectives or end. What is the plan here? Why don’t we have any answers for them?

HUGE – a few Republicans finally found their spine and voted to take the first step towards reining in Trump’s chaos in Venezuela! America owes a debt of gratitude to @kaine.senate.gov, who has fought to rein in presidential overreach and force abroad for years. His moral clarity makes us stronger.

We need a full investigation into what happened in Minneapolis. I’m horrified by what I’ve seen. ICE is not above the law. (2/2)
- MW
For months, we’ve been warning that Trump’s enormous growth and reckless empowerment of ICE – which has a bigger budget than the militaries of almost every country on earth – would have serious consequences. (1/2)

Trump is more worried about controlling foreign oil than he is about Americans not being able to afford the cost of living. This is not putting America first.

Don’t let it go unnoticed in the chaos of this week: RFK Jr’s changes to the vaccine schedule – with no science to back it up – is another dangerous attack on the health of our kids. Vaccines save lives. We shouldn’t be making it harder for parents to access care.
- MW
Now, Trump threatens Greenland, Colombia, and Mexico. Where is the line? When will Republicans find a spine to say this is ridiculous and dangerous?
- MW
If Trump really was interested in combating drug trafficking, he never would have pardoned convicted drug trafficker and former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
- MW
Is Trump getting the U.S. into a years-long commitment in Venezuela?

Today, we pause to remember the bravery of law enforcement on that day, and we recommit to the essential fight to protect American democracy. (2/2)
- MW
Five years have passed since Jan. 6, but the threats that Donald Trump poses to democracy are as present as ever – underscored by his dangerous pardon of thousands of insurrectionists. (1/2)

“They’re going to pay for it!” is a blatant scam.

Trump says he’s not afraid of boots on the ground in Venezuela. What is the plan here? Are we really going to deploy American sons and daughters and put them on the ground in Latin America with no clear objectives, vision, or leadership?
- MW
How is Trump planning on “running” another country when he hasn’t done anything about rising grocery or rent prices?
