Working Americans deserve top quality child care! I'm proud to sign on to the Child Care Modernization Act to ease the strain on parents struggling with insane child care costs.
Thank you @RepShriThanedar and @RepDeborahRoss for signing on to the Child Care Modernization Act– a bipartisan bill that would help expand options to affordable and quality child care for families across the country!

No, this isn't satire.

This gifted genius made billions of dollars off the war his father started through his Pentagon contracts. Remember that next time your paying obscene prices for gas, electricity, and groceries.

Giant corporations rake in massive profits while working Americans suffer with obscenely expensive prices. The tale of the Trump presidency.

Inflation when Trump took office: 2.9% Inflation now: 3.7%
BREAKING: President Trump says inflation is “way down.” “The golden age of America is upon us,” Trump says.

As if rampant inflation isn't bad enough, wages have stalled as well.   American workers' wages are getting completely eaten up by inflation.
Since the start of President Trump’s second term, Americans have seen no real wage growth on average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Nothing to see here, just more crippling inflation on the rise again. "Golden Age" though.
BREAKING: US September PCE inflation, the Fed's preferred inflation metric, rises to 3.6%. Core PCE inflation also rose to 3.1%, up +0.3% month-over-month. This officially confirms that CPI, PPI, and PCE inflation are all rising again. A December rate hike is coming.

These MAGA influencers spend 51 weeks every year chastising guys like this, calling them "unskilled" and insisting that don't deserve higher wages, increased benefits, childcare, etc because they "should have learned some REAL skills." Then when elections are around the corner, they suddenly pretend to champion them and care about their struggle. Most two-faced grift in history.
This man is our guy. It's who we elected Trump to help. To help every man and woman like this.

"It seems to me that you have an election, the person who wins the most votes should win."
JD Vance on ranked choice voting: "I don't understand it. It seems to me that you have an election, the person who wins the most votes should win. That seems to be not what happens with ranked choice voting. The fact that it's so confusing to a person who pays pretty close attention to politics I think suggests we should do our elections in, like, the normal way."

Trump's war cost American taxpayers $47,100,000,000.00. and all they got in return was higher prices on everything. At least Trump's sons got to make billions off the war through their Pentagon contracts.
JUST IN: Pentagon tells Congress the Iran military operation has cost American taxpayers $47,100,000,000.00.

Mind you, 26 Americans actually DID die because Trump started a war to enrich his sons through the billions of dollars they own in Pentagon contracts. Which also sent prices everywhere skyrocketing. But Ted Cruz will never call out Trump, even after Trump called his wife ugly.
Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) says that if U.S. Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is elected into the Senate and is placed in the Senate Intelligence Committee, "there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result."

Dolores Huerta was a tireless champion for workers here in America and all around the world. I'm saddened to hear about her passing, but her incredible legacy will live forever.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Dolores Huerta, United Farmworkers co-founder and civil rights icon, has died, her family says.

As if rising food, gas, and electricity prices weren't bad enough, steel prices just hit a more than 4+ year high due to Trump's reckless tariffs. More expensive steel means just about everything else becomes more expensive, too. These tariffs are crushing working families here in Michigan.
U.S. steel prices just hit their highest level in more than four years, per Bloomberg. Benchmark hot-rolled coil has jumped 52% over the past year to $1,255 a ton, a level last seen in May 2022. The reason: Trump’s tariffs are squeezing foreign supply. Steel imports fell 14% in the first nine months of 2026.

After losing an election, rather than face his pending fraud and corruption charges, Bolsonaro is fleeing Brazil. @Sec Rubio could turn Bolsonaro away as an international fugitive, but I doubt he has the courage. Congrats to Brazil, democracy always comes out on top!

This is what Republicans are calling the "golden age."
Americans are saving about 19% less on average per year since Trump took office.

Mind you, even in Biden's worst year he managed to create 1.5 million jobs. But during the entire TWO years since Trump got reelected, Trump has only seen the creation of 760K. Trump is the worst jobs president in history.
Men have gained essentially no jobs since Trump took office. Since December 2024, the US has added about 760,000 jobs, and nearly all of them went to women, per government payroll data

All Trump would have had to do after becoming President was sit on his hands and gas prices would have plummeted. Instead, he went out of his way to take actions to RAISE gas prices so he could enrich himself with his gas and oil stocks.
we predicted in December of last year that 2026 would be the lowest year for gas prices since 2020, nothing was needed. but then March 1, the situation changed drastically and it could be the most expensive year for gas prices ever.
