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.

Donald Trump said out loud that he would rather dump a billion dollars a day on a war with Iran than pay for child care here at home. So much for America first.

I welcome the change in Guatemala’s attorney general, and I hope that under new leadership, the Guatemalan government will finally drops any remaining charges against anti-corruption journalist José Rubén Zamora and anti-corruption prosecutor Virginia Laparra.

The path to the House majority runs through Arizona. @formerpreznez.bsky.social l and @joannamendoza.com know what it means to fight for working families. We need their leadership in Congress to lower costs and make Arizonans’ lives better.

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.

Millions of Americans are being priced out of their health care because Washington Republicans refused to extend the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits. Americans deserve to see a doctor without breaking the bank, and I'll keep fighting to make it accessible and affordable.

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change is real.

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.
- RW
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.

Senate Democrats are trying to stop Trump from using $1.8 billion of your tax dollars to give handouts to his allies, but Republicans voted to let it happen.

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.

Democrats are going to force Senate Republicans to vote on amendment after amendment about Trump’s ballroom, about Trump’s corrupt slush fund, and the rising costs of Trump’s war. They will not be able to hide.

The death penalty isn’t reserved for the worst of the worst. It’s only reserved for the poorest of the poor. It’s time to end the federal death penalty once and for all. I just introduced a bill to BAN it.

Yesterday, Blanche refused to say Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund wouldn't be used to pay off convicted Jan 6 rioters & child molesters. I'm offering an amendment to prevent these criminals from getting a penny of your tax dollars. Will Republicans send your money to criminals & pedophiles?

We’re seeing Republicans manufacture a reason for another regime change war in front of our very eyes—this time in Cuba. I was sent to fight abroad with other working class kids by the same type of DC war hawks. We must say no to more forever wars.

Russia, under the bloody leadership of Vladimir Putin, has committed terrible wartime atrocities—one of the most horrific being the kidnapping of thousands of Ukrainian children. Lantratova’s appointment is a cynical slap in the face to Ukraine.

America First was just a marketing slogan because Trump First doesn’t sell. It’s always been about Trump. Trump’s finances. Trump’s family. Trump’s name on everything. Meanwhile your gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare costs keep rising. You should be a priority, not an afterthought.

The Senate has taken an important step towards ending Trump's illegal war in Iran. This war has been a failure to the highest degree. I promise to keep holding this President accountable. My Republican colleagues need to do the same.

Trump’s DOJ granted him and his family immunity from tax audits, giving his family a license to commit tax fraud. Trump doesn’t have to pay his taxes. Meanwhile he’s using American tax dollars to line the pockets of his family and his far-right cronies.

When I talk to people back home, they want Congress to address rising gas prices, health care costs, energy bills—all of the stress that's being put on their pocketbooks. What are Republicans doing instead? Fighting for $1 BILLION for Trump's ballroom.

Trump says his billion-dollar, gold-plated ballroom is “a gift to the United States of America.” Let’s call it what it is: an insult to every American struggling to make ends meet.

Every other president in modern history has released their tax returns. Not only has Trump failed to do so, now he has a license from his own administration not to have his taxes checked – a license to cheat and rip off the government.

Trump’s planning for his reckless Iran war has been a disaster. He wanted to put former President Ahmadinejad in charge, who supports the Iran nuclear program. Then Trump tried to “free” him but injured him instead. This is not a joke. This war has been Trump’s mistake from the start. End it now.
