Congressional Republicans have rubber-stamped Trump's war in Iran, which is causing gas prices to skyrocket EVERYWHERE. New Dems took photos to show how Republicans' reckless agenda has raised prices in their communities.

Our founding fathers knew that a free press is crucial for upholding democracy. Just because Trump doesn't like that they are reporting on his failed war, disastrous economy, and rampant corruption, it doesn't give him the right to censor them.

New Dems @newdems.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Americans see right through Trump's empty promises. They know his "$5000 dividend" is BS and they're tired of his lies. Catch the full conversation on this week's episode of The Fly-In, available everywhere now.

Speaker Johnson and House Republicans just gave themselves an extra two weeks of vacation. New Dems share what we could do with that time instead.

New Dems @newdems.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
It's going to get harder to buy a house, finance a car, or start a small business. This is on top of rising inflation & skyrocketing costs at the grocery store & gas pump. Americans can't afford another 2 years of this Republican Congress.

Mike Johnson's never-ending vacation is stopping Congress from actually addressing AI. @liccardo.house.gov explains how Democrats are ready to have serious conversations about AI regulation, but Republicans keep sending us home early.

Trump's throwing himself a party this week while the US gets hit with nearly $28 billion in tariffs because of his dumb trade war. Prices are up at home, and now American businesses will have a harder time selling abroad.

Trump funneled $620 million dollars of taxpayer funds into his son’s business. We can't normalize this abuse of power and we will do everything in our power to hold this administration accountable for blatant corruption.

About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company.

Childcare costs now average over $15,000/yr. Nursing home care costs now average over $100,000/yr. Americans are drowning in this cost of living crisis. New Dems know this shouldn't be the case, and we have a real plan to fix it: newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/imo/media/do...

No child should have to go to school hungry, but due to Republicans' cuts to SNAP, its harder than ever for families to afford groceries and pack a lunch for their kids.

New Dems @newdems.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
With the rising cost of childcare and elder care, having a family is becoming too expensive for so many Americans. Read more on Substack, and learn what New Dems are doing to lower these costs:

Having a Family Should be a Source of Happiness, not Financial Stress
The rising cost of childcare and elder care is making it nearly impossible for working Americans to take care of their loved ones.

Republicans clearly haven't been focused on lowering costs this year. New Dems share what Republicans have been focused on instead.

New Dems @newdems.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Packing a school lunch has never been harder. Between rising grocery costs and constant food recalls, Trump & Congressional Republicans are making it as hard as possible for working families to send their kids to school with a healthy, affordable lunch.

The rising cost of childcare and elder care is making it nearly impossible to raise a family or age with dignity. @mcbride.house.gov shares some information on this growing crisis, and what New Dems are doing to make life more affordable for working families.

Having a family shouldn't mean going bankrupt. Unfortunately, the cost of childcare and elder care has become so unaffordable that many Americans are questioning whether they can afford a family. New Dems have a plan to lower these costs; read here: newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/imo/media/do...
