Energy bills you can afford. Housing within reach. Health care that does not bankrupt you. Strong floor, no ceiling. That is the economy worth fighting for, and I will keep fighting for it in Congress.

Wealth Inequality Has Grown During the Trump Administration
The wealthiest 0.1 percent of households have gained more than 8,000 times as much wealth per household as the bottom 50 percent since the end of 2024.

Meanwhile, the average American still faces grocery, rent, and utility bills that keep soaring. The promise was lower costs for everyday Americans. The gains have gone to those who already had the most. Every American deserves a solid foundation.

This is stunning. Since Trump took office, households in the top 0.1% have added an average of $9.6 million in net worth. The ultrawealthy gained more than 8,000 times as much wealth per household as the bottom half of the country.

I have read that some of these deportees are children???? What kind of nation drops CHILDREN into a country where they have never been? So now we are basically child traffickers here in the United States. There is no low too low for this administration.

grandpa is talking crazy about the TV again
Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!

Text from a friend. HEADS UP TEXAS. CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION ASAP. This is a family with a Latino last name.
Texts from my friend: I wanted to share with you a message from Texas I thought would be a good fact or call to action for your audience.
I wanted to share something that happened to my 76-year-old mom in Texas yesterday because I immediately thought of you and the reach of your mic.
My mom, Margaret, has been a voter since she was 18 and has always voted. She went to a voter-registration event in Bexar County and, when they suggested she check her registration, her record couldn’t be found. She immediately filled out a new registration application.
Then she checked her husbands, and his record couldn’t be found either.
Regardless of why any individual registration has an issue, this feels like an important public-service message: Texans should check their voter registration now, while there’s still time to fix a problem, not discover it when they go to vote.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

No. Federal law does not give the President unlimited power to demolish or rebuild large parts of the White House on his own. I cannot give legal advice.
Main legal limit
