  • According to a new report, the Social Security trust fund—which helps pay Social Security benefits—will now run out of money in 2032, a year earlier than expected. Why? Because Trump’s “big beautiful bill” is depleting the fund faster.

  • Last week Senate Republicans passed a bill to give $70B to ICE and CBP so Trump can continue causing chaos in American communities. The bill did nothing to kill Trump’s $1.8B fund for his allies. It did nothing to lower prices that have surged due to Trump’s tariffs and…

  • I’m glad that some Republicans finally grew a spine and said no to Trump’s $1.8 billion pot of money for Jan. 6 rioters. But let’s be clear: that’s only half of this corrupt deal. The other half is the DOJ giving Trump immunity from any tax crimes he, his family, or businesses…

  • Trump started this war and said high prices were a “small price to pay” to achieve the war aims. Well, he hasn’t met those aims, can’t find a way to end the war, Americans are stuck with the higher prices he caused, and what's his response to talks failing? “I don’t care”
