News flash, Mr. President! We appreciate your candor in admitting you “love inflation” and don’t think about other Americans’ “financial situation,” but we hate inflation and can’t stand your illegal tariffs, taxes and wars. We’re sick of your economy for…

Most Americans agree with House Democrats: stop spending our tax dollars on ICE and Border Patrol’s lawless, violent campaign against our own people. But Trump’s enablers in the House want to send another round of billions to fund Trump’s reign of fear and…

This isn't about one slush fund or one president. I've introduced legislation to stop any president from using taxpayer money to bankroll their political allies and score a family sweeping Super Pardon. Congress must act urgently to ban these ripoff…

As President Trump spends billions of dollars for his aggressive and foolish war of choice in Iran, congressional Republicans are handing him billions more to fund ICE chaos in our communities. The GOP has a destructive agenda.

President Trump doesn't care whether you can afford health care, rent or groceries. He has no plan for America’s working families. Instead, the president fills his time settling political scores and litigating beach sea shell messages from nine months ago.
