Over the past 2 years, Trump and his Republican party have driven UP your prices. The Iran war, tariffs, cuts to health care, health insurance premium spikes, and cuts to food assistance have all hurt our community and our economy. It’s time for change.

Americans growing more pessimistic about the economy as prices for gas, other items remain elevated
Americans’ confidence in the economy deteriorated this month as prices remain elevated and wages stagnate amid the ongoing Iran war

Trump is stealing your tax dollars to peddle propaganda. If you’re sick of watching Trump act like a dictator, vote Democrats into power in Congress this November. We need to hold him accountable.

Donald Trump’s new plan to have AI companies “self-police” is just not going to cut it. We need urgent action to protect Americans from the harm AI can cause and put real guardrails in place – and it’s clear Trump and his Republican party won’t deliver that.

It was great to join CBFD Indivisible this weekend to share an update on my work in Congress – despite Speaker Mike Johnson sending the House home for 7 weeks without acting on AI, the Iran war, or skyrocketing costs. We have work to do – and Democrats are ready to do it.

Donald Trump promised to end foreign wars – and then dragged us into an unnecessary, illegal, and reckless war with Iran. Republicans in Congress have done nothing to stop him. We need Democrats back in charge to hold Trump accountable and end the war.

Instead of doing *anything* meaningful to regulate AI or put safeguards in place, Trump is focused on renaming Artificial Intelligence to “Super Intelligence.” He has so much power as President and he’s using it for the dumbest thing possible.

This is authoritarian censorship. Freedom of the press is a Constitutional right. The American people deserve to know what’s really going on inside Trump’s White House — and they deserve a Congress that will hold the President accountable when he violates the law.
