Trump: “Grocery prices are way down.”

Fact check:

Did you know: Congressmen and women have been paid twice (they’re paid monthly) since the govt shut down. $30,000 gross each. Meanwhile Trump trying to stop food stamp payments while he has parties. And @SpeakerJohnson still has everyone on vacay

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

AFSCME President Lee Saunders blasted the financial industry at a March on Wall Street on Thursday. He called Wall Street “complicit” in this administration’s attacks on workers. www.afscme.org/blog/at-new-...

At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.

DHS is delaying millions in already approved North Carolina recovery funds, documents show Communities across the region still need to be reimbursed for about a hundred projects including debris removal, waste water treatment repairs, roads and bridges, damaged buildings and parks, as well ...

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

Birds of a feather...

Memphis, Elon Musk's xAI company violated the public’s trust and lied about the Colossus facility that is poisoning our air with gas turbines. xAI submitted a permit for 15 gas turbines, but have been secretly operating 35!

It’s no coincidence that the tech broligarchs who kissed Trump’s ring are first in line for tariff exemptions on their Chinese-made products.

Americans will pay more while billionaires catch another break.

More of this. Constantly. Every chance we have, more of this.

🚨NEWS: the House just narrowly passed Republicans' SAVE Act.

GOP House members think they can get away with disenfranchising millions of eligible voters across the country.

I am leading the fight in the Senate to block it.

Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and stop cosplaying as an ICE agent.

In February, I led over 150 Members of Congress in a letter to the Treasury demanding answers about Elon Musk’s access to taxpayer data.

This is the non-responsive letter they sent me this week.

I’ve filed a discharge petition to try and force a vote on my bill to end Musk’s access to your data.

The Dumbest Economic Policy in Modern History Trump’s tariff plan looks like an abject disaster for America, even judged against the benchmarks the administration has set for itself.

It's really bad.

There's no logical or moral or strategic defense for what we're doing right now. It's an idiotic plan being implemented with a level of incompetence that has no possible explanation.

CLC Sues to Block Trump Administration’s Illegal Election Overreach On behalf of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Secure Families Initiative (SFI) and Arizona Students’ Association (ASA), Campaign Legal Center (CLC) and State Democracy Defenders...

President Trump’s executive order on voting is an unlawful attempt to take control of our elections and make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise the freedom to vote.

CLC is urging the courts to declare this EO illegal and unconstitutional.

On the Question of Crisis The bottom line is that our democracy is in grave danger and the president must be forced to reverse course.

Definitions vary on when a crisis becomes “constitutional” — but there is no doubt that we are dealing with a true crisis of governance that poses a potentially mortal threat to our checks and balances, the rule of law and fundamental constitutional rights.

Social Security abandons DOGE-led phone service cuts amid chaos, backlash The shift amounts to a wholesale retreat by Musk’s team and the Social Security leadership in their bid to dramatically curtail telephone access to services.

Chaos. Crashes. Confusion.

That’s what the Trump-Musk cuts to Social Security phone service caused.

Retirees and people with disabilities should never be forced to navigate a glitchy website or wait in line to access benefits they paid into and earned.

The Republican budget is a bad deal. It takes billions of dollars from the public services that millions of Americans rely on, and gives it to the very richest 1% in the form of $7 trillion in tax breaks.

I strongly encourage my colleagues to oppose it.

If you are trying to keep up with Trump’s tariff strategy… there is no strategy.

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back.

Every single Republican blocked it.

Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

The case of Kilmer Abrego Garcia isn’t just about Trump making a serious mistake deporting him to El Salvador, or when he’ll decide to bring him back home. This is a test. Trump is testing whether he can openly defy the courts, to see how closely Americans are paying attention…

Administrator Zeldin's deregulation is a free pass to polluters—and these members of Congress are fighting back

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇

Trump’s Economic Chaos: How His Inner Circle Profits While Working Families Pay the Price - Accountable US Trump's tariffs triggered a $6T market loss—while his allies and family cashed in. See how Congressional Republican lawmakers stand to profit from his tax plan.

Trump wiped out $6 trillion in market value in 48 hours—then bragged his billionaire buddies made millions. Meanwhile, Congressional Republican lawmakers are voting to make themselves richer.

We’re tracking it all.

This is outrageous.

Seniors, people with disabilities, and families shouldn't be forced to go to Elon's website to learn what's happening to their hard-earned benefits.

The SAVE Act is nothing more than a bigoted assault on American democracy.
Its passage would erect massive barriers to the ballot box for millions of Americans.
The SAVE Act is a Trojan Horse of authoritarianism and must be rejected.
