Trump’s Tariffs are driving up costs on everyday goods, and working families are paying the price. You deserve better.

Nearly a third of US businesses expect to increase prices in the next six months due to rising costs and inflation, with businesses in Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Montana, Washington, Oregon and V…

The DOJ is not Trump’s personal police force and does not exist to settle his personal grudges – it exists to serve the American people and uphold the rule of law that keeps our democracy safe.
Trump on FBI raiding Bolton's house: "I could know about it. I could be the one starting it. I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer."

This reckless stunt dehumanized migrants, endangered the Everglades, and violated tribal sovereignty. Cruelty is not policy – and today, justice won.
Breaking news: A federal judge is giving Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz. The ruling forbids state officials from moving any other migrants there.

I know a red flag when I see one.
It's wild how hard this administration is working to rehab war criminal Vladimir Putin's image to the American public. Absolutely wild 🤯.

This is the Trump playbook: rig the numbers so working families and seniors get shortchanged while the wealthy get ahead. Manipulating economic stats isn’t just cooking the books, it’s stealing benefits Americans have earned.
Corrupting economic statistics will change our economic reality. Here's how:. Tariffs raise prices. Social Security is indexed to inflation. If Trump tells a partisan BLS head to downplay inflation, seniors' social security checks won't keep up. Rigged stats = stolen benefits.

Met with #MO05 hospital leaders who are deeply concerned about looming Medicare premium hikes. If the enhanced tax credits expire – undermined by the GOP’s #BigUGLYLaw – nearly 338,000 Missourians and 24 million Americans will pay the price. Families can’t afford this.

Prices are up because of Trump Tariffs and the #BigUGLYLaw – and everyday people are stuck footing the bill. We deserve an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1%.

Trump’s Big Lie didn’t just attack the truth, it threatened the people who make our elections run. Election officials face harassment and burnout. Without them, the security of every future election and democracy is at risk.

Some 2 in 5 of all the local officials who administered the 2020 election left their jobs before the 2024 cycle, new research has found.

The Smithsonian is not “out of control” – it’s doing its job: telling the whole story, warts and all. But Trump’s agenda to scrub away slavery and painful truths is a political attack on history itself. We won’t let him rewrite it to serve his politics.
President Trump said the Smithsonian Institution focused too much on “how bad Slavery was.”. Scholars say the administration’s attack on the Smithsonian underscores the stakes of the institution’s role in civic engagement and democracy.

This Cost of Living Week of Action, we’re calling it like it is. This is the Trump-Republican business model: make the rich richer on the backs of working families. Prices are up and families are feeling the financial squeeze.

“Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes, the president wrote on Truth Social. “They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR.

HUD-VASH cut veteran homelessness nearly in half. Now Trump wants to rip it apart – punishing veterans by making housing a ‘reward’ instead of a right. Congress made it clear: we fund Housing First because it works. We won’t let this admin turn its back on those who served,.

Delays aren’t just bureaucratic – they’re risking lives. Local health departments need clarity and support, not excuses. I joined my colleagues in sending a letter demanding the Trump administration immediately release the $300 million in congressionally approved CDC funding.

It was an honor to join @KanbesMarkets to celebrate the 100thhealthy corner store location!. In too many neighborhoods, families have had to choose between what’s close and what’s healthy. That’s why I was proud to secure $500,000 in community project funding to uplift their
