The president’s tariffs and Iran war are costing thousands of dollars per household. All this is on the ballot right now. We have the power to vote out his enablers and change what it’s like to live in America. Use it!

$75 barely covers a tank of gas, let alone a cart of groceries. This inflation adjustment falls way short of making up for the high costs of Trump’s war with Iran and chaotic tariffs. Congress needs to scrap the cap and expand benefits for our seniors.

Every union vote means we’re closer to creating an economy that works for all of us. @weareliuna.bsky.social, IUPAT and all of America’s unions are mobilizing to make sure workers’ voices are heard this election season - in Texas and across the country. betterinaunion.org

Inflation, along with everything else, continues to skyrocket. Trump’s disastrous war with Iran and tariffs on our allies is making everything worse.

$9.37 for heating fuel in Kotzebue, a hub in the Northwest Arctic. We heat our homes with diesel in most of Alaska, and families here are bracing for a winter where they’ll have to decide between heat and food. It’s apocalyptic – and Dan Sullivan's votes are to blame.

Elon Musk is the midterms' biggest disinformation risk
The world’s wealthiest man pours money into GOP candidates while backing a floridly fake story about a Democrat on the platform he owns.

Bipartisan backlash is growing following an agreement between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to import Russian oil as friction between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy grows.

Under Trump and his Republican enablers, the richest Americans and biggest corporations have made out like bandits. Average working Americans are paying dearly for what the bandits have stolen. The grift and the graft must end.

If you value election integrity, you need to be aware that MAGA extremist Tom Tiffany is primarily being funded by three election-denying billionaires who will pay any price to have a puppet as Wisconsin’s governor.

Asked if the rising costs hurt their ability to save for retirement, every generation—from baby boomers to Gen Z—says they’re pinching pennies and delaying longer-term savings. Who is looking out for the hard-working people and their hard earned savings? www.newsweek.com/americans-re...

Wisconsin renters are paying more than ever with fewer protections – in part because of legislation my opponent voted for in the Wisconsin legislature. My “Fair Deal for Wisconsin Renters” is a plan that restores balance and protects thousands across the state.
