Prices are too high because of the President’s dumb tariffs and failed war in the Middle East that’s cost American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. Trump: THEY HAVE A VACCINATION THING THAT LOOKS LIKE THE SIZE OF A BOTTLE OF SODA POURED INTO A LITTLE CHILD'S BODY.
Happy Birthday to our 44th President of the United States, @barackobama.bsky.social
Trump says we’ve done an “amazing job” in Iran even though it’s nearly five months after he claimed Iran was “totally defeated” and this was just a “short excursion.”
The president is trying to minimize the tragic cost of his senseless war. What a disgrace.
It was a great pleasure to speak at the Progressive National Baptist Convention 65th Annual Session in D.C. today about what faith communities can do to protect the right to vote and increase participation in our electoral process.
Nowadays, many in our country want to turn back the clock on the things John fought for and erase from history the shoulders upon which John and so many others stood. We won’t let that happen. We’ll continue fighting John’s fight. And we’ll continue getting into “good trouble.”
Can someone please explain to me how a gold coin with Trump’s face on it honors the “enduring legacy of liberty”?
Republicans refused to extend ACA enhanced tax credits. They said it was too much money. As a result, nearly 30% of those enrolled in SC last year have lost their health care. Republicans can find money for billionaire tax cuts and their Iran war, but not health care for Americans.
The bill Trump is referring to overwhelmingly passed the House 358-32. I proudly supported it. It would bring down housing costs by making it easier to build new homes and preventing Wall Street from buying up existing properties.
Trump and Republicans cut Medicaid and the ACA by over a trillion dollars, and now 5 million Americans have lost their health care. And this is just the beginning. Spending money on pointless wars while cutting funding for Americans' health care. Those are Trump and Republicans' priorities for you.
Most people know about Rosa Parks and her courageous act of defiance that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped lead to a court ruling ending bus segregation in Montgomery. But fewer people know about Sarah Mae Flemming of Columbia, South Carolina.
Being a father to three wonderful daughters has been one of the greatest joys of my life. To all the dads and father figures out there, happy Father’s Day.
Surprise, surprise. Trump promised no taxpayer money for his $600M ballroom. But the whole time the White House knew the project would be heavily paid for using tax dollars. Lie after lie after lie. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
$70B for ICE and CBP. $350B for the military. Not a dime for you.
Trump’s presidency has become primarily a vessel for pursuing his own interests. The White House seems busier promoting a UFC fight on the south lawn for Trump’s birthday than doing anything to bring down the high costs that Trump himself forced on us. The American people are sick of it.
Maybe I’m old school, but I think the average American would rather their president focus on getting costs down than taking over the White House grounds to hold UFC fights and build a lavish ballroom.
The Artemis II crew have inspired people around the world by showing what is possible when we dare to truly shoot for the stars.
I join my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP in calling on college athletes to boycott public universities in states that are actively weakening Black political representation.
In the $1.8 billion settlement Trump made with his own government is a provision that the U.S. is “forever barred and precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his family, and businesses’ past tax returns. One set of rules for the Trumps and their cronies. Another set for everyone else.
Trump is more focused on building a ballroom for Washington elites than building affordable housing for everyday Americans, who are struggling mightily to pay their rent and mortgages. Trump’s budget would cut spending for affordable housing programs while he asks Congress to fund his ballroom.
The Trump administration Justice Department is working to settle a $10,000,000,000 lawsuit Donald Trump launched against his own administration. The outcome could mean billions in taxpayer money going to Trump or special IRS treatment for Trump, his family, and his businesses.
Costs are exploding due to Trump’s war with Iran. Inflation is higher now than when Trump took office. Nearly every category of goods is rising, many by a lot. What are Trump and Republicans doing about it? www.cnbc.com/2026/05/12/i...
Claiming a $400,000,000,000 increase in defense spending is “fiscally responsible” while kicking millions off health care and food assistanceto decrease spending? The Trump administration has some crazy priorities.
Yes, that’s right: Republicans are proposing $1 billion in taxpayer money for Trump’s White House ballroom. They can’t find money for health care or food assistance, or do anything to help lower your bills, but they can find money for Trump’s ballroom.
Last week, Trump was focused on his $400M Ballroom, his “Arc de Trump,” and putting his face on US passports. This week, he’s taking over a public golf course in DC to restore its “glamour and prestige.” Trump cares so little about the issues facing everyday people.
Congress passed the SECURE 2.0 Act in 2022 to help Americans fund private retirement plans. It was an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote. I voted for it and Biden signed it into law. Now Trump, in typical Trump fashion, is slapping his name on something he had nothing to do with.
Gas prices hit a four-year high today because of Trump’s war with Iran. Meanwhile, Trump is putting his face on passports.
Gas prices are heading back up, as expected, as Trump struggles to end the war with Iran that he started. Trump’s Secretary of Energy has said prices won’t go down to pre-war levels until 2027.
The Trump admin has begun refunding companies—not American households—tariff costs. The tariffs raised Americans’ costs by thousands of dollars, were deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, and now corporations, not American families, are getting money back. www.bbc.com/news/article...
