Trump has not only failed to bring down prices, he’s actively making it worse. Inflation was up again in February—and that’s before Trump’s reckless war that will only drive prices even higher.
Donald Trump lied. No other leader in the Administration—not even Pete Hegseth—is claiming Iranian tomahawk missiles were responsible for the bombing that killed 170 people at an Iranian all-girls’ school. There needs to be a full, INDEPENDENT, and transparent investigation.
Donald Trump is risking the lives of our troops, the safety of the American people, the stability of the world economy, and blowing a billion dollars a day based on whims, feelings, and contradictions. His incompetency is dangerous and destructive.
Trump said that the war in Iran was “complete,” but Hegseth said today will be the most intense day of strikes yet. How is it possible that Trump and his cronies can’t make it 12 hours without contradicting themselves about this war?
Donald Trump is preparing to hold our government hostage unless we help him undermine our right to vote, our elections, our democracy. This is what he does. He's a thug and a bully. Democrats will not support passage of the SAVE Act under any circumstances.
A headline by The Hill reads: "Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE America Act passes"
Donald Trump's war has sent gas prices skyrocketing through the roof. “If they rise, they rise,” is all he has to say. Tough luck, America. What contempt. What cluelessness.
A headline from The New York Times reads: U.S. Gasoline Prices, Rising Again, Hit $3.48 a Gallon
Gas prices are surging all because of Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran. More broken promises, and the Trump administration doesn’t even pretend to care.
The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.
Due to Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice, gas prices have surged to their highest levels in years. His response? “If they rise, they rise.” He couldn’t care less. Today, I demanded Trump release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve IMMEDIATELY to bring relief to Americans at the pump.
I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance. But the problems at DHS go much deeper than any one person. The President must rein in ICE and end the violence.
If Trump doesn’t want gas prices to go up, he shouldn’t have started the war in Iran. This is yet another sign that this administration seems allergic to having a plan and thinking about the consequences of their actions. Shame on the Senate GOP for not standing up to Trump and his reckless war.
The people who deserve a refund from Trump's trade war are American households and small businesses, not large corporations. Corporations should pass savings of any tariff refunds to American consumers.
A headline by NBC News reads: "Judge rules companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs overturned by the Supreme Court"
I’m proud to lead @democrats.senate.gov in introducing the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act. Our bill will break the monopoly power that has played a sinister role in raising prices of beef and groceries for Americans.
The Senate is about to vote on our War Powers Resolution. If just 5 Republican Senators won’t vote with Democrats to stop Donald Trump’s military madness, they alone will own the consequences of this reckless war.
Last night’s elections proved one thing: People are fed up with Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. Democrats are going to do what Donald Trump refuses to do—fight the affordability crisis every day, all year long.
