Republican’s Ratepayer Protection Act has no teeth. It won’t actually protect families like yours from paying more on your energy bills.

The American people can’t afford two more years of MAGA policies – right now they can’t afford much of anything. Gas. Groceries. Housing.

$43.6 billion for Trump’s illegal war in Iran doesn’t take into account the human cost. 19 service members lost. Over 800 injured. Thousands still away from families with no end in sight. END THE WAR NOW!

College athletes have won new rights and a bigger voice, and they deserve both. But the rules changed fast, and the sports that don’t make money were left wondering whether they had a future.

This is why we need our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act. People shouldn’t risk going broke just to stay healthy.

The Constitution is clear. Congress holds the power over how taxpayer dollars are spent, not one person in the Oval Office. Over and over again, this admin chooses to ignore the law. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Trump rescinds nearly $1B in federal funding, bypassing congressional approval
President Trump cancelled almost $1 billion in federal funding Friday using the controversial “pocket rescission” process, which allows him to sidestep congressional approval. Most of the can…

Get a load of the BS coming out of this admin. Inflation down? Beef prices down? Yeah right. The American people will believe it when they can actually see it.

We’ve voted over a dozen times to end the war in Iran and bring the focus back to Americans here at home. Every time, MAGA Republicans failed to meet the moment. It’s way past time for Congress to step up.

We can lower energy prices and protect our climate at the same time. Our climate bill is doing just that but Trump and MAGA Republicans have fought it at every turn, canceling grants, killing jobs, and hurting our climate. Let’s get real about an all-of-the-above approach to energy.

Teddy Roosevelt said it best: it’s vandalism to destroy what’s beautiful in nature. No matter how many times MAGA tries to degrade, attack, and sell off our public lands, we won’t let them.

$43.6 billion spent on Trump’s illegal war thousands of miles away. BILLIONS more spent on increased gas, groceries, and housing costs by working families here in America. Your money down the drain with nothing to show for it.

Xi gets the red carpet. Americans get the boot. Instead of lavish receptions for our adversaries, Trump should start treating Americans like they matter and make life affordable again.

It’s peak harvesting season, and record-high diesel prices and record-low moisture are having drastic impacts on our farmers. Over $6/gal for diesel makes the business of running a farm unsustainable and drives up the costs for everything else.

Trump’s economy isn’t working for families across Colorado. It’s time to focus on bringing down costs because Coloradans can’t afford the basics right now.

High energy prices are only made worse when the admin refuses to end the war in Iran or fund clean energy projects that bring down your utility bill.

There’s no waiting, delaying, or procrastinating anymore: climate change is here and now. We see it in the historic drought. Raging wildfires. Worsening natural disasters.

This isn’t the “Golden Age of America” President Trump pretends it is. The reality is working families are getting squeezed while Trump’s ultra-wealthy buddies get richer and richer.

Instead of focusing on building another monument, Trump should focus on building a better economy for Americans.

The Trump administration should reverse this decision. Requests for individual assistance and hazard mitigation grants are not made frivolously.

At a time when Trump’s economy is already unaffordable, the dream of home ownership is only getting further out of reach. We have to end the administration’s harmful tariffs and unwanted war with Iran and start bringing down costs for working families. www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

Folks should be able to afford the healthcare they need to lead a healthy, long life. It’s time to buck this trend and deliver on universal healthcare that works for hardworking Americans. That starts by reversing MAGA’s $1 trillion cut to our healthcare system.
