Instead of lowering costs, Trump cut health care, gave tax breaks to billionaires, and started another forever war.
It’s no wonder the American people are feeling terrible about this economy — and they are right.
Consumer sentiment stands near the lowest level ever recorded in the 74-year history of the University of Michigan's monthly survey, just weeks before the U.S. midterm elections. abcnews.link/UC2xBf9
Donald Trump has chosen to betray Ukraine in exchange for flattery from Putin.
Trump's weakness is a threat to our safety at home and to our allies in Europe.
I stand with Ukraine, and I won't stop working to give the Ukrainian people the support they need to defend themselves.
Americans have been loud and clear that they want affordable health care and lower costs.
Instead of listening, Republicans in Washington cut Americans' health care so they could give billionaires massive tax breaks.
Premiums are expected to skyrocket for the fourth year in a row, and employees will likely pay more when they receive care, too. The increased costs will put an additional squeeze on Americans' already-tight budgets, adding to the nation's affordability crisis. cnn.it/488Apxi
Trump's corruption and his cost-of-living crisis are out of control.
His Republican enablers in Washington have looked the other way — I won't.
I will do everything in my power with @housebudgetdems to make Trump's administration answer for it all.
Last year, Trump and Republicans cut health care for millions of Americans and raised premiums for millions more, just so billionaires could get even more tax breaks.
I'll fight like hell to reverse these cruel cuts.

Trump promised Americans a "golden age."
It's a golden age for his billionaire donors — but everyone else is paying more and getting less.
He's cutting your health care, raising your taxes with his tariffs, and stealing from the poor to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Trump ran on tax cuts. But his economic policies have driven up taxes and costs for all but the wealthiest 1% of Americans, a think tank reports. usatoday.com/story/money/per…
It turns out the economic policies from a president who managed to bankrupt a casino are a disaster for our economy.
Another day, another hot inflation report.
Business inflation surged in September to 6.3% (!). The expectation was 5.4%.
Every category of business inflation was hot, even after stripping away energy costs.
It's inevitable that companies will pass some of these costs along to consumers. It's yet another reason this fight against inflation is likely to be longer than anyone wants.
Business (wholesale) inflation: 6.3%
Consumer Inflation: 3.7%
Trump has been in office for nearly two years, and all he has to show for it is broken promises.
Americans are fed up with his disastrous policies, which have made basic necessities more expensive.
"Trump has no one to blame but himself for his broken promises and economic failures, and the American people know it."
Ranking Member @CongBoyle on today's inflation data:
ALT Boyle Statement on September 2026 CPI Inflation Data President Trump promised to end inflation and lower costs 'on day one.' More than 600 days into his second term, he has done the exact opposite, driving up costs for American families with his disastrous war in Iran and reckless tariff taxes. Trump has no one to blame but himself for his broken promises and economic failures, and the American people know it. HOUSE
The President seems to think that your tax dollars are just a slush fund he can use on his personal vanity projects.
You don't need to be a legal scholar to understand this is plain wrong.
I applaud this decision, which puts an end to some of Trump's obvious abuse.

Heartbroken by reports of a horrific mass shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania this morning.
My prayers are with the community and families as they recover from this tragedy.
BREAKING: Nine people were killed Friday in a shooting in Erie, Pennsylvania, the governor says. apnews.com/article/nine-kill…
Devastated by the shooting of two Philly police officers and news that one of them has died.
Our police officers risk their lives every day to ensure that our city is safer. We owe them and their families unending gratitude.
My prayers are with them and their families.
Two Philadelphia police officers were rushed to hospitals Saturday morning after a gunman shot them multiple times, officials said. cbsn.ws/4yHjIVt
Donald Trump’s war in Iran has sent prices skyrocketing.
Trump could lower costs today by ending this reckless war. Instead, he’s aiding Russia and betraying Ukraine in a desperate attempt to temporarily bring prices down.
NEW: President Trump says that Russian President Vladimir Putin will “immediately” release hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel onto the global market. It was not immediately clear how this would work, given wide-ranging sanctions that have been applied to Russia since its invasion of Ukraine. nbcnews.com/business/energy/…
Republicans are unbelievable hypocrites on the national debt.
They cut revenue by trillions so billionaires can get massive tax breaks.
Any serious plan to address the debt has to include reversing these shortfalls.

We should take the debt seriously, but that means being honest about how we got here.
Spending alone didn't get us to $40 trillion.
Decades of tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations have cost taxpayers trillions.

[...] The negative impact of our deteriorating fiscal health can no longer be ignored, as it has been by many on both sides of the aisle. The national debt is now so large that annual net interest costs are projected to be higher than $2tn. Every dollar that goes towards servicing the debt is money we cannot use on healthcare, infrastructure or education.
So, what do we do about it without asking working families to make sacrifices?
First, large tax giveaways, especially to the wealthy, should not be permanent. They should face periodic non-partisan reviews on their impact and whether economic growth has covered the cost of the tax break. In addition, Congress should be forced to vote to renew them on an annual or biennial basis. Congress, rightfully so, carefully examines spending line by line.

Trump withdrew funding for life-saving health research, including programs at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania.
Not only is this illegal, but it's immoral.
My Congressional Power of the Purse Act would stop this callous power grab.
"In Philadelphia, these cuts threaten lifesaving work, along with good-paying jobs and one of the most important drivers of our regional economy."
Ranking Member @CongBoyle on @USGAO finding the Trump Administration illegally withheld health research funding:
Trump isn't fooling anyone with his new $5,000 check stunt.
I haven't seen a dime from the DOGE or tariff checks he promised over a year ago.
In fact, he's done worse than give us nothing — he's costing Americans more with his tariff taxes and Iran war.
Everyone knows Trump's agenda has been a disaster for the economy.
But we can start getting costs down in spite of him.
As the lead Democrat on @housebudgetdems, I'm committed to overturning his costly tariff taxes and stopping funding for his moronic war in Iran.
