Trump is dismantling the CFPB β€” an agency that has returned $21 BILLION to consumers and stood up to corporate greed.

Democrats used this agency to fight for working people. Republicans are tearing it apart to give back to billionaires. Let’s break down some examples ⬇️

Trump Just Took His Corruption To A Brazen New Level The White House treated a marketing event at his for-profit golf club as an official act and helped him promote it.

Donald Trump is using the presidency to make himself richer β€” all while raising prices for the American people.

He only cares about himself. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump and Republicans know that America’s presence and influence around the world is critical.

Yet they’re destroying USAID and other foreign programs, ceding our global leadership to China.

Why your energy bill is suddenly so much more expensive And why it’s not getting cheaper any time soon.

Wonder why your energy bill has been getting so much more expensive?

Blame Donald Trump and Republicans. They chose to hike your rates so billionaires could get a tax break.

US job growth slows sharply in July; unemployment rate rises to 4.2% U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in July while the prior month's data was revised sharply lower, pointing to a sharp moderation in the labor market.

Job growth is down. Unemployment is up.

U.S. deportees, freed from Salvadoran prison, describe β€˜horror movie’ Three Venezuelans, released last week from the Terrorism Confinement Center, said they were repeatedly beaten and denied access to lawyers.

Step one: Trump tanks the economy
Step two: Data shows that Trump is tanking the economy
Step three: Trump fires the person who puts out economic data so that in the future, no one will know he’s still tanking the economy

If it looks like a cover-up, sounds like a cover-up, acts like a cover-up… it’s a cover-up.

The American people are offended by Trump’s handling of the Epstein files β€” and they should be. He’s hiding something, and we deserve the truth.

I strongly support @sanders.senate.gov resolutions to block offensive weapons sales to the Israeli govt β€” efforts I've helped lead in the House.

The Israeli govt has repeatedly violated U.S. & int'l law and is starving civilians in Gaza. We cannot continue being complicit in their brutal war.

Countless families across our country could tell you a story about how Medicaid has saved the life of one of their loved ones.

But Trump and Republicans decided to burn it down and kick millions of Americans off their health care β€” just to give billionaires a tax break.

NEW: The maker of Dawn dish soap, Charmin toilet paper, Crest toothpaste, and Tide detergent will raise prices in August because of Trump’s tariffs.

BREAKING: I'm demanding answers from the Trump administration over their efforts to take away Americans’ citizenship.

Trump is weaponizing citizenship to go after his enemies. It's a threat to every American's safety.

A 'worst-case scenario of famine' is unfolding in Gaza, a U.N.-backed report warns A U.N.-backed food security group says famine is unfolding in Gaza, with thousands of children malnourished and hunger-related deaths rising.

Benjamin Netanyahu said β€œthere is no starvation in Gaza.”

He is lying. Children are dying of malnutrition and people are being killed by the IDF as they wait for food.

Feed Gaza now. www.npr.org/2025/07/29/n...

Texas House Republicans unveil new congressional map that looks to pick up five GOP seats The first draft of the lower chamber’s new redistricting map targets Democratic members of Congress in the Austin, Dallas and Houston metro areas and in South Texas.

Texas Republicans, at Trump’s request, are redrawing their Congressional district lines to steal FIVE additional seats.

They’re undoing democracy to keep themselves in power. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/30/t...

Today, Medicare and Medicaid turned 60 years old β€” and as Trump and Republicans work to cut these programs and rip health care from Americans, Democrats are instead working to protect and expand these programs.

We’ll keep fighting for quality, affordable health care for all.

From the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to airdrops, recent efforts to get aid into Gaza have been wholly ineffective and insufficient.

The United States cannot be complicit in starving Gaza. We must stop supplying the Israeli government with offensive weapons.

Trump EPA moves to repeal landmark 'endangerment finding' that allows climate regulation President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Might as well call it the Environmental Destruction Agency because that’s all they’re doing.

Denying the climate crisis and removing the government’s ability to protect our air and water.

Trump and Republicans are selling us out to Big Oil billionaires.
