The Trump administration’s decision to attack Venezuela was a reckless and deeply destabilizing action. Launching unilateral military strikes and seizing Maduro without a clear plan for what comes next risks creating a dangerous power vacuum — one that could plunge the entire

Electricity bills are up 13% this year. This is Trump’s “affordability” plan in action. https://t.co/Y89wkYC2Ss

The amount of money Americans are paying toward their energy bills has increased since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, according to a new report.

The holidays should be a time of joy, not stress. But Trump’s inflation is squeezing family budgets and making it harder to celebrate. We need an economy that works for everyone, not just Trump's rich friends. https://t.co/eEwcRKIf3E

The latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey found the high cost of goods has emerged as a major factor affecting how much shoppers spend and where they spend.

Another reckless Trump policy decision that will kill thousands of jobs right before the holidays while driving up energy costs for families and businesses.
The Trump administration on Monday halted the construction of all U.S. offshore wind projects, a sweeping move aimed at hobbling one of the president’s least favorite industries

Instead of helping our small businesses, Trump’s policies are saddling them with debt, uncertainty, and chaos — all for pointless political games. Our small business owners deserve better. https://t.co/60C6Ylh8oE

Even if the Supreme Court rules Trump tariffs are illegal, high interest rates and fees on predatory loans are leaving some businesses facing years of debt.

As the Affordable Care Act tax credits are on the verge of expiring, Speaker Johnson canceled votes and is sending Members home early. @HouseDemocrats have a bipartisan solution waiting for a vote and we're calling on him to immediately bring it to the floor. American families

The Constitution is clear: only Congress has the power to declare war. I’m supporting this War Powers Resolution to prevent the Trump Administration from starting an unauthorized war with Venezuela and to rein in their dangerous overreach.
Donald Trump has been talking about airstrikes, troops on the ground, and naval or air blockades. These are acts of war. But the Constitution is very clear: only Congress can declare war. So today I’m forcing a vote on my War Powers Resolution to say clearly that we reject this

🚨 Four Republicans joined @HouseDemocrats' discharge petition to force a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Now it’s time for Speaker Johnson to bring this bill to the floor so we can stop Americans’ health care costs from skyrocketing at the end of this

Veterans on the Central Coast and across the country rely on the VA for timely care. Eliminating up to 35,000 health care positions risks longer waits and fewer services. The VA should reverse course.

My bill to rename the South Patterson Ave Post Office in Goleta in honor of Brigadier General Frederick Lopez has passed the House. General Lopez is a hometown hero whose decades of service represent the very best of the Central Coast. Now on to the Senate!

A proposal to rename the post office on South Patterson Ave. in Goleta after a Central Coast veteran is one step closer to approval.

From groceries to utility bills, costs have skyrocketed. Mr. President, your economy doesn’t deserve an A+++++. It deserves an F-.
Asked by @DashaBurns in a new interview to grade the economy under his presidency, President Trump gives it an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus." Gallup has only 36% of voters approving of his handling of the economy. https://t.co/j9dNI8SqmG

Trump created this problem with his reckless trade war, which shut our producers out of global markets, drove up their costs, and left family farms struggling. Farmers deserve stable markets and real leadership.

On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we remember the Americans who were killed on December 7, 1941, and honor the heroes who served with courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy. We remain forever grateful to the veterans who answered the call in the days and years that followed.

On this day in 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States, a first step in the long fight for equality for Black Americans. We must never forget the horrors of slavery and must always reject every attempt to erase this shameful chapter of American history.
