Gas, groceries, and energy bills are soaring. As winter approaches, heating oil costs have gone up more than 70%. But Republicans still refuse to end Trump’s reckless war.

ICE isn’t just a threat to safety, it’s weakening our local economies. The GOP’s agenda has one result: making life harder for families. House Democrats are fighting every day to stop this chaos.

Donald Trump has lost his mind. He thinks the destruction of American cities is “a small price to pay” for his reckless war. And not a peep from GOP leadership.

Trump and Republicans keep coming after Head Start.  So they have more money to spend on tax breaks for billionaires. Our kids deserve a solid foundation, and House Democrats will fight to stop the GOP’s devastating cuts. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/10/05/n...

Trump refuses to end his reckless war in Iran. Costs are soaring. Families aren’t making it. Troops are in harm’s way. And Republicans in Congress are doing nothing about it.
