Trump thinks there’s always money for war, but no money for child care. He wants to spend trillions on bombs and weapons, while cutting investments in housing and health care.
It does not get more wrong or out of touch than that.
Republicans call Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" and talk about making cuts.
Democrats have plans to scrap the cap and real fixes to make sure you get YOUR money.
You get to choose what happens with your voice and vote on Election Day.
Science and public health must come before politics. We need an investigation of this alarming decision, which appears to have little to no evidence or FDA experts behind it.
Secretary Kennedy cannot be allowed to replace FDA's gold standard for safety and effectiveness with junk science.
NEW: @SecKennedy is allowing broad access to unapproved peptide injections in what appears to be a unilateral action.
FDA scientists had advised against these, inc. one peptide used in greyhound racing.

Trump and Republicans kicked millions of families and kids off SNAP.
A Senate Democratic majority will fight to reverse these cuts, because no one in America should go hungry.
More than 5 million people have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits since President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill passed last year.
That has meant many more people are turning to food banks for support. to.pbs.org/47Sb4rd
Dolores Huerta spent her life standing up for working people and fighting for justice. Her courage and leadership helped change this country for the better. My thoughts are with her loved ones.
We must carry her fight forward.
BREAKING: Labor leader, feminist and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta has died at 96. apnews.com/article/dolores-h…
Trump may not be interested in health care, but the millions of Americans priced out of their plans or kicked off Medicaid sure are.
It's time to put a stop to Trump's health care sabotage.
VOTE.
For years, Republicans have been pushing to cut FDA funding. Recent outbreaks (diarrhea lettuce) prove we can’t keep cutting domestic spending to fund foreign wars.
Congress MUST reject Trump’s $1.5 TRILLION war request and focus on real priorities—like keeping our food safe.
The FDA rarely inspects the foreign facilities exporting the vast majority of fresh produce to the United States, a Post investigation has found, creating a major blind spot when it comes to U.S. food safety. wapo.st/3WtzuF6
The most corrupt President in U.S. history.
Trump is getting rich while working families struggle to get by.
A Senate Democratic majority can finally put a check on Trump's obscene corruption.
VOTE!
FIRST ON CBS: As President Trump boasts about how much money the U.S. oil and gas industry is making from the war with Iran, the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million, compared with $12.6 million to $46 million at the end of 2025, according to a new report by Democrats on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. cbsn.ws/47IN9un
Wonder why beer isn't $5 anymore? Laney told me how her brewery would order tap handles and the tariffs would INCREASE mid-shipment.
The tariff would be as expensive as the product itself by the time it gets to them! A Democratic majority would fight to END Trump's trade wars.
Trump's solution to affordability? Cut back on your doll purchasing budget.
As if people are blowing their budgets on dolls. We need a Congress that will put an end to Trump's tariffs and actually work to LOWER prices for the American people.
Trump could not say it more plainly: he doesn't "give a damn" about the American people suffering because of his illegal war.
VOTE!
Just outright disgusting and hateful garbage.
Trump is focused on spewing this garbage instead of doing anything to make life more affordable for Americans.
A total disgrace.
From measles to foodborne illnesseses, Trump and RFK Jr. have torn apart public health and completely disregarded basic science.
I'm working to fix it.
Washington state: it’s time to make your voice heard.
Fill out your ballot and bring it to a drop box near you now through Election Day – the earlier the better.
$4,700 more. That’s how much extra Trump’s tariffs and Trump’s war have cost the average American family.
Republicans promised lower prices on day ONE. It's been 600+ days.
Trump is weaponizing America's Department of Justice to argue that elections can only be certified if Republicans win.
This is historic corruption, but he doesn't get the final word. We do at the ballot box. VOTE!
BREAKING: DOJ is suing Alaska to block certification of election results if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses.
