This president is such a thief. The “hundreds of billions of dollars” the government is taking in from tariffs is partially from the higher prices you are paying.

You work hard and pay your taxes. Trump then uses that tax money to pay for illegal campaign ads promoting himself on national television. That’s where we are as a country.

RFK Jr. needs a bigger security detail and the first place they go looking for money is the Office of Minority Health—the HHS office that works to reduce health disparities faced by racial and ethnic minorities. This tells you everything you need to know about the Trump administration’s priorities.

It’s interesting to see Congressional Republicans—who voted time and again to continue Trump’s war in Iran over the past 7 months—all of a sudden “see the light” when their seats in Congress are at risk.

ICE has brought chaos to the streets of many communities, Americans have less money in their pockets because of Trump’s dumb war and tariffs, and the Trump administration is systematically making it more difficult, not easier, for many Americans to get ahead. This is what you call “results”?

Would love to see Trump showing some interest in marking up ideas to lower costs instead of designs for his lavish ballroom, but that's just me. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Why is ICE purposefully hiding where it is holding people? ICE erased detainees slated for deportation from its online locator and barred ICE officers from telling their families and attorneys where they are being held.

Leaders of the world’s largest AI companies are calling for slower development because they fear “superintelligence” could cause catastrophic harm. Trump is openly encouraging it while rejecting new safeguards.

It didn’t have to be this way. Trump had no clear reason to launch a war with Iran, but did have very clear reason to believe that gas prices would soar. He did it anyway. Now it could go from bad to worse, and there’s no end in sight.

I can’t tell what’s worse: The fact that there’s no audio because Trump banned media outlets from the White House. Or the fact that he thinks Americans care about a ribbon cutting for his helipad.

96937

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

There you have it. Trump doesn’t want any safeguards on AI because he’s concerned they would cause the stock market to go down under his watch.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Just think: inflation was gradually trending down when President Trump took office. In less than two years, he was able to send inflation back up and interest rates along with it.

13815

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Due to the President’s debacle in Iran, interest rates are unfortunately heading back up. That means higher borrowing costs for car loans, credit card balances, and mortgages on top of all the higher prices the war has already caused.

25523

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The American people should never forget that when they faced exploding costs from a failed war in Iran and dangerous uncertainty from unchecked artificial intelligence, House Republicans decided to cancel work in Washington and go home for nearly eight weeks. Shameful.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

$246,000,000. That’s how many taxpayer dollars the Trump administration is spending on their failed Iran War EVERY DAY. And that’s on top of the over $100 billion more Americans have paid for energy since the war started.

25420

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Gas prices are surging due to a failed war in Iran, the Attorney General says we should not try to regulate AI, and the President of the United States is blaming Democrats for his 2024 assassination attempt. Just another day in Trump’s America.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Every American needs to ask themselves: Why did a Russian oligarch close to Putin—who recently traveled alongside Putin in China—spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Trump’s son’s wedding celebrations?

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

You cannot read this and think this is a person capable of understanding or caring about the very serious threat AI poses.

65617

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Just to recap what we have very recently learned about Trump, his administration, and his family: Trump thinks concerns over AI are a “hoax” and rejected calls to regulate it.

What ever happened to this $2000 check Trump promised last year? Asking for a friend.

Twenty-five years later, I will never forget September 11, 2001. I was meeting with colleagues in a conference room in the Capitol Building when news spread that two planes had struck the World Trade Center in New York.

Translation: Trump is worried that high gas prices could sink Republicans in the midterms. He believes escalating the war would drive prices even higher—despite repeatedly claiming that Iran has been “decimated”—and appears to be planning further escalation after the election.

32713

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Trump can’t figure out how to end his war in Iran, which has jacked up prices. Rather than doing everything he can to lower prices in other ways, he’s escalating his trade war with Canada, which will jack up prices even more.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Trump, living in his fantasy world, has claimed once again that low gas prices are just right around the corner. Let’s check in on how things are going in the real world. www.cbsnews.com/news/oil-pri...

Happy Labor Day! America was built by generations of working people whose hard work, skill, and determination have moved our country forward. Today, we celebrate them—and recommit ourselves to building an economy where hard work is rewarded and every worker has the opportunity to get ahead.

Stories were published showing Trump’s top military leaders had communicated in writing concerns about the viability of his war in Iran. What does our esteemed Defense Department do? Remove the documents from their internal system and then essentially say the reporting is fake news.

Pentagon cuts access to classified information amid Iran war concerns

The House just got back from a 5-week recess. But today Speaker Mike Johnson decided to cancel 2 more weeks Members of Congress should be in DC working. The American people elected us to Congress to address the issues they are struggling with, specifically, the high cost of living.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

They’ve failed to achieve their military objectives, cost American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars, and sent gas prices soaring. I suppose renaming the Strait of Hormuz after Trump would serve as a helpful reminder of how his administration has been an absolute failure.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Homeland Security agents who typically investigate horrid crimes like human trafficking and child exploitation are now being assigned to Trump’s endless crusade to uncover purported voter fraud that can be used as a pretext to suppress votes.

“Large batches of ballots would be rejected by the portal if even a single ballot couldn’t be verified.” “Would create a massive new workload for election officials” “Workers involved in developing the USPS system feared it would crash”

So let me get this straight: our tax dollars are potentially being used to secretly pay MAGA influencers to promote the Iran war and the Trump administration? I suppose it's not surprising that they are unable to openly defend their disastrous record.

Mortgage rates were expected to fall this year. But thanks to Trump’s failed war in Iran, they've risen to their highest level since June 2025. Someone buying a typical home now will pay over $200 a month more in interest than with prewar rates.

Mortgage rates surge to the highest since June 2025 as new Middle East attacks push oil prices up

The expectation had been for falling rates this year, but the war with Iran and its resulting rise in oil prices upended that.

Some of our top military leaders are now warning Trump that his war in Iran is compromising military readiness in other parts of the world and seriously risking our national security.

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” adds $4,200,000,000,000 to the national debt. A trillion of that goes straight to the wealthiest 1% of Americans. There’s only one party that is blowing up our national debt to cut taxes for the wealthy.

You know things aren’t going well when the White House has been relegated to celebrating the completion of Trump’s new helipad as a major accomplishment.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Trump said he was going after “the worst of the worst.” We know that’s a lie.

Bulldozing parts of Big Bend National Park for border-security infrastructure. Taking funding from the National Park Service for White House grounds renovations. Opening 45 million acres of pristine forest for logging. Yep, Trump is definitely making America beautiful again.

Trump Administration Moves to Allow Logging in Pristine National Forests

Costs are still through the roof, the job market is limping along, but hey, at least Trump is proclaiming that we will permanently seize a waterway halfway across the world.

Trump’s media company posted a net loss of $238 million last quarter and just $1.7 million in revenue. To turn his business around, he’s turned to selling Wall Street privileged access to his Truth Social posts announcing government decisions.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Trump is siding with Communist dictator Kim Jong Un over South Korea because South Korea refused to help Trump with his failed war against Iran. South Korea also helps the U.S. counter Communist-ruled China. And Trump says Democrats are Communists?

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Inflation was trending down before Trump took office. Then he started his tariff war, which raised prices. Then he started his Middle East war, which also raised prices. All Trump had to do to decrease inflation was stay the course. Instead, he found two ways to increase it. Amazing.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I can’t get over this. In recent years, Congress appropriated $2.5 million to an Executive Residence office account for White House repairs. Since Trump took office, he’s diverted $500 million to that account.
