After months of warnings that tariff taxes would drive up costs on essential goods and groceries, that’s exactly what we’re seeing in communities across the country. Instead of trying to deny this reality, the administration should work with Congress to lower costs for hardworking families.
Host fact checks top Trump econ advisor: "Coffee, as you mentioned, up 15%. Uncooked ground beef up 14%. Bananas up 8%. Fresh cakes and cupcakes up 6%. Lettuce up almost 6%... Americans are clearly feeling that prices are continuing to go up."
The administration’s attempt to erase the sacrifices & achievements of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history is outrageous & deeply offensive. These heroes deserve our respect and gratitude. The administration should restore these honors NOW. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...
On World Diabetes Day, I’m proud to support legislation that would reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program. Our bipartisan bill invests in lifesaving T1D research, improving care today and accelerating cures for tomorrow. Together, we'll keep working to support our neighbors with T1D. #SeeT1D
The administration refuses to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower health care costs for working-class families—but they will spend billions to change the name of the Department of Defense. Once again, the well-being of American families comes last.
Trump's order to change the Department of Defense's name to the 'Department of War' could cost an estimated $2B in taxpayer dollars.
The American people will not forget that the Trump administration made the largest cut to SNAP in history this summer—and then used the program and the people who depend on it as political pawns during the Republican shutdown. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
The Republican spending bill failed to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower health care costs for tens of thousands of families across #MO05. I refused to support legislation that would lead to premiums skyrocketing for my constituents. www.kcur.org/podcast/up-t...
I will not support legislation that ensures the health care costs of Missouri families will skyrocket. House Democrats will continue fighting to extend ACA tax credits, reverse Republican cuts, and save Americans’ health care.
Read the emails for yourself. It’s about time that Republicans in Congress stopped covering for the president and started providing transparency to the American people. Release the Epstein Files.
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.
While congressional Republicans are fighting to kill ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care, they continue to support the president’s tariff taxes that are driving up grocery costs. Their policies and priorities are completely backward.
CNN airs compilation of Americans struggling with high grocery prices: "Every time I go to the grocery store, I am shocked... For 11 items, I paid $40.38... The 1 pound of ground beef I got was $9. A pint of blueberries was $6... When was a box of cereal $9.29?"
I was humbled to participate in The WWI Museum’s Veterans Day program in honor of the men and women who have courageously defended our nation in the armed forces. To those who have sacrificed for our freedoms, we are grateful every day for your service.
Today marks Veterans Day, a day to honor the brave men and women who risked their lives to defend our freedoms. Today and every day, we thank America’s veterans for their sacrifice and service to the nation.
