Translation: Trump started a war he promised he wouldn't start and you are now paying way more for gas and groceries.

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.

At the same time folks are going hungry because of President Trump’s cuts to food stamps, he wants our families to spend $1 billion on his luxury ballroom.

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.

If Republicans vote against our War Powers resolution, they will continue to bear the blame for Trump’s war

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

Americans don’t want this ballroom blitz—they want this Congress to bring down costs.

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.

I’m concerned that decreased grocery store competition in local communities is raising food prices. Anti-competitive land restrictions can prevent new grocery stores from moving in. My letter to the FTC:

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?

I sat down with @RefugeesIntl to discuss concerns about Trump’s reliance on third country deportations and the impact of cuts to humanitarian aid. This moment is defined by anxiety and urgency. Strengthening human rights and creating opportunities for all people makes America more secure.

(10) When the reckoning comes (and it will), our sleeping watchmen will be less culpable than the creeping burglars, but not without sin. It matters to speak up now about this massive enterprise of climate denial fraud and dark money corruption.
- SW
(9) While they were at it, the fossil-fuel billionaires packed and captured the Supreme Court, so that its every regulatory decision helps the polluters and their “free-to-pollute” business model. Look no further than the leaked Clean Power Plan memos ONLY considering polluter costs.
- SW
(8) On our side, we have almost no infrastructure to track and expose that armada. The creepy front groups are played like piano keys, and most people don’t even see there’s a piano.
- SW
(7) A massive creepy bestiary of influence has emerged to prey on us: superPACs, twinned 501c3s/501c4s, identity-launderers like Donors Trust, captive business groups like the Chamber and NAM — a corrupting armada of literally hundreds of front groups.
- SW
(6) But those of us in politics sure do. Bipartisanship on climate, common beforehand, was killed dead by the 2010 Citizens United decision when it unleashed all that fossil fuel dark money. Politics has never been the same.
- SW
(5) An unjustified subsidy that big creates a massive motive to meddle in politics. If fossil fuel spends $70 billion a year on corrupt political influence, it’s still a 10-1 payback on their investment. You don't see it all because so much is hidden “dark money.”
- SW
(4) If that subsidy weren’t protected by politics, it would create a big incentive for products to reduce the harm. A $100/ton pollution fee creates a $99/ton incentive to innovate and reduce the harm. The “free-to-pollute” subsidy kills that incentive.
- SW
(3) As a subsidy, this is a big one: the International Monetary Fund pegs it north of $700 billion per year, just in the United States. That means $700 billion in harm annually we all have to absorb.
- SW
(2) “Pollute-for-free” has no economic, moral or environmental justification. Even Milton Friedman taught that “negative externalities” like pollution need to be in the price of the product, or it’s a subsidy.
- SW
Let’s remember: (1) the fossil fuel industry is desperate to pollute for free; if they can’t pollute for free, their business model collapses. 🧵

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.

RFK Jr. is not fit to lead during a public health crisis. He gutted the very teams that respond to threats like Hantavirus, and left the CDC leaderless. Americans deserve answers from HHS and the Secretary immediately.

Costs are going up, and that means small businesses are hurting and customers are feeling the impact. Ordinary Americans are losing tons of money they worked hard for because of Trump’s decisions. We need leadership that puts Americans 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.

Shared this thread with a friend in the investment space (no greenie!), and here’s what he had to say: “In ten years, no one will buy a house without thinking about climate change-induced risks and costs … It is a future that is rapidly coming into focus.” Exactly.

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.

Severance almost didn't become a TV show. If Paramount buys Warner Brothers, who knows what other shows won't get made at all. We have to put a stop to this merger.

MAGA’s One Big Ugly Betrayal Bill left 15 million Americans at-risk of losing their health care, including 250K Coloradans. It’s unacceptable. When we sat down for a roundtable last month with Healthier Colorado, we heard about the on-the-ground reality for health care providers and patients.

They’re used to false facts. How about Citizens United’s “no need to worry about corruption, all the political money we just released is going to be transparent: you’ll know who the donors are”?
