Donald Trump campaigned on the promise to lower your prices on day one, and Republicans promised to help him.
A year and a half later, he couldn’t be farther from that promise, while Republicans continue to betray their duty to stand up for the American people.

Other energy costs have risen under Trump as well. Families in northern Virginia paid $1750 more for electricity in 2025 than they did in 2024.
And in just the first six months of 2026, they are expected to spend an estimated $181 more than they did in the first half of 2024.
And then there’s the consequence of Trump’s illegal and stupid war with Iran: people in my district have spent $129 million more on gas since the beginning of the war.
Broken down, that comes out to an average $439 spent on gas per family.
Thanks to cuts from the Big Ugly Bill and Republican’s refusal to extend ACA tax credits, monthly health insurance premiums for ACA plans rose an average of over 50%.
At the same time, deductibles surged, increasing by more than $1,000 on average.
In Trump’s first year in office, Americans paid $310 more on groceries than they did in 2024.
When looking at the cost of beef, families were hit especially hard. The average price of ground beef has risen almost every month to a record high of more than $7 per pound.
Northern Virginian families have spent almost $650 more on housing costs such as rent and mortgage payments.
As we continue to tackle our national affordable housing issue, it would be nice to have the President working for the people and not against them.
According to a new @jecdems.bsky.social report, in the 18 months Donald Trump has been president, his policies have cost Virginian families at least $2,900 on average.
Everyday essentials across the board have gotten more expensive, and families are struggling to keep up.
I support banning stock trading by elected leaders, but Republicans’ “Stop Insider Trading Act” is a weak, watered down bill that doesn’t even stop Congress from selling stock.
It gives a green light to Trump’s corrupt stock deals, while banning voting by mail.
I’m voting NO.

(1/2) For weeks, I’ve worked with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, @reppaultonko.bsky.social, @beyer.house.gov & @eleanornorton.bsky.social on a bipartisan bill to improve air quality in federal buildings.
Last week’s dangerous smoke from Canadian wildfires made the need even more urgent.

House Democrats stand with Dreamers.
The American Dream and Promise Act would create more pathways to citizenship.
We introduced a discharge petition to bring this bill to the floor. Let's get this done.
Dreamers, TPS holders, and DED recipients have built lives here, strengthened our communities, and contributed to our economy. They deserve protection – not this administration's cruelty.
That's why I'm proud to sign the discharge petition to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act.
We can only stop this if congressional Republicans are willing to stand up to Trump or are replaced.
After bragging about being responsible for the deaths of 18 U.S. servicemembers, the President is now back on Truth Social threatening war crimes.
His rapidly deteriorating mental and emotional state and reckless disregard for anyone but himself has deadly consequences.
Last year, Republicans passed a bill that takes away healthcare from millions of Americans to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
Republicans don't care about the American people, and I joined Protect Our Care VA to let them know we're sick of it.

Trump's arch proposal raises traffic, pedestrian safety concerns for Arlington planning staff
Paranoid nonsense to justify going to war with Cuba.
Because one foolish, destructive war of choice apparently isn't enough for the Trump White House.

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing.
Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same time period, Biden had created 625,000.

USMCA is the backbone of North American trade, supporting 13 million American jobs and nearly $2 trillion in annual commerce. That’s why New Dems are urging the Trump Administration to preserve and strengthen the agreement—not undermine it.
This is so stupid.
All this president’s trade wars have done is hurt our economy, alienate our friends, and raise our prices.
Congress should be doing everything we can to rein in this man’s tariff powers, not expand them.

Almost 60 years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon.
That extraordinary achievement was possible because we invested in science, research, and the brilliant minds behind it.
If we want missions like Apollo 11 to succeed, we must fund and protect science.
