David Scott was a lifelong public servant on behalf of the people of Georgia, a trailblazer in Congress, a serious student of the bible, and a dear friend to myself and countless others. My prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time. May his memory be an everlasting blessing.
Georgia Democratic Rep. David Scott has died. The longtime lawmaker was the first Black chair of the House Agriculture Committee.
Between the Housing for the 21st Century Act and the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, Congress is on the precipice of enacting the most meaningful housing legislation in decades. We cannot fail to get this done for the American people.
As hardworking families struggle to keep up with rising housing costs, it’s imperative that Congress enact comprehensive housing reforms that will increase supply and drive down prices. This week, I talked to the National Association of Mortgage Brokers about my work to do just that.
Earth is the only home we have—and saving our planet takes all of us. On Earth Day & every day, we must act to protect our air, water, and public lands for the future. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will keep working to protect our planet by advancing clean energy & investing in a sustainable future.
Inflation is currently running higher than it was when President Trump entered office. Whether he admits it or not, Americans feel the pain of the president’s reckless tariffs and disastrous war in the Middle East every time they fill up their tank or go to the grocery store.
KERNEN: By the time Biden left, inflation was down to about 3%-- TRUMP: No it wasn't. It was down to 5%. And the reason it was down was because I had won the election and it started falling after I won the election and I started getting prices down from right after November 5
Just as House Republicans fought for months to prevent the release of the Epstein Files, they are now doing their best to block an honest & thorough investigation into Epstein & his associates. Democrats will not relent in the fight to bring justice to the victims. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...
Administration officials said that Americans would only have to accept short-term pain after launching another war in the Middle East. Now, they’re saying skyrocketing gas prices may not come down until next year.
TAPPER: When do you think it's realistic for Americans to expect that gas will go back below under $3 a gallon? CHRIS WRIGHT: I don't know. That could happen later this year. That might happen until next year. But prices have likely peaked.
The president said he would focus on American families and lower costs on Day One. Instead, he launched another war in the Middle East and drove up prices on everything from gas to groceries. It’s no wonder the vast majority of Americans disapprove of his policies.
Two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation, according to an NBC News Decision Desk Poll, with some cracks emerging in his GOP support.
The American people want reliable, affordable, and clean energy that will lower costs and keep our communities healthy. Last week, I was happy to meet with @americancleanpower.bsky.social to discuss how Congress can support these important efforts.
By expanding prison libraries in correctional facilities, we can support rehabilitation efforts, reduce recidivism and create better futures for all. That’s why I introduced legislation with @schiff.senate.gov to do just that. Happy to have the support of the ALA. www.ala.org/news/2026/04...
Family farmers and Ag states like Missouri are being crushed by rising fuel and fertilizer prices caused by the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East. It’s time that Republicans stood up for these hardworking Americans by joining with Democrats to end the conflict.
Higher fertilizer costs caused by Trump’s war with Iran is hurting small farms. Nationwide, 72% of small farms have not secured the fertilizer they need for the upcoming planting season. Republicans have once again turned their back on family farmers.
“National Historic Landmark designation is a crucial step for Quindaro, providing the national recognition it deserves and the resources needed to become a driver of tourism and economic development” That’s why we introduced the Quindaro National Historic Landmark Act! www.axios.com/local/kansas...
Our legislation would expand library resources in correctional facilities nationwide, thereby increasing educational opportunities, reducing recidivism, and creating stronger communities for all.
The President’s budget does nothing to lower costs for hardworking American families. Instead, he’s seeking to steal taxpayer dollars out of your pocket to make the biggest year-to-year increase in defense spending since World War II.
The Trump budget is historic. For the first time in recent history, the government would spend a larger share of its annual budget on defense than on domestic programs. @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social
