Higher costs.
 
A reckless war in the Middle East.
 
Record breaking job losses.
 
Is this Trump's definition of a Golden Age?

Americans need lower costs, not another war.

That's why Democrats voted for a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump's costly, reckless conflict.

But Republicans refused to join us. They'll always cower to a wannabe king.

Haitian asylum-seeker dies in ICE custody in Az from untreated tooth infection A Haitian asylum-seeker who spent months in ICE detention at an Arizona private prison died from complications caused by an untreated infected tooth. Emmanuel Clifford Damas, 56, died on Monday from s...

Emmanuel Damas should be alive today. His death is unforgivable.

No one should die in detention because ICE is withholding life-saving health care.

This cruelty needs to stop and ICE must be reined in immediately.

Donald Trump's reckless war is already hiking costs for American families.

This week, Democrats are forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution to stop this rogue president.

Republicans must stand with the American people and join us in voting YES.

Here's what we heard from Kristi Noem today.

She refused to apologize to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

She didn't rule out using ICE agents to intimidate voters.

She defended buying a $70 million luxury plane with taxpayer dollars.

Resign, fire, or impeach — she has got to go.

Less than a week into Trump’s reckless war in the Middle East, gas prices are already rising.

He promised safety, affordability, and no new wars.

He lied.

Sudbury police dispatcher injured while serving in Navy during Iran conflict - The Boston Globe The dispatcher serving in the Navy suffered minor injuries during a series of missile strikes, the Sudbury Police Department said

A Sudbury dispatcher was wounded while serving in the Middle East.
 
I'm praying for his recovery and comfort for his family. No more service members should be put in danger.

The American people want lower costs, not another endless war. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately.

Under our Constitution, the President does not get to unilaterally declare war. Speaker Johnson should call the House back immediately to vote on the war powers resolution. Trump must stop putting service members in danger until he has laid out the strategy to Americans and Congress has approved.

As Trump predicted, his war has already claimed the lives of three service members.

I pray for their families and for the full recovery of those who are injured.

Our Constitution is clear: the power to declare war lies with Congress.

My statement on the Trump aministration’s strikes against Iran.

Democrats are fighting to make life more affordable for working families.

Republicans hiked costs and took health care away from millions — while giving billionaires another tax cut.

We are on the American people’s side.

Columbia Student Arrested by ICE in a University Building Is Released

Trump’s DHS impersonated NYPD officers and kidnapped Elaina Aghayeva from her home without a warrant.

While I’m relieved to hear she will be released imminently, this lawless behavior cannot continue.

Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE and stop this chaos now.

Donald Trump’s illegal tariffs are hiking costs on everything from groceries to utility bills.

He needs to write refund checks for the American people — with an apology note included.

Donald Trump’s “golden age” only applies to himself.

He simply does not care to lower costs for the American people, and his speech last night proved it.

The real state of the union is chaos and crisis.

Donald Trump has broken every promise he made to the American people.

Together with partners like Skye Perryman at Democracy Forward, we’re fighting on behalf of working families to hold the GOP accountable.

Trump promised the American people affordability, prosperity, and safety.

Instead, we have soaring prices, recession-level layoffs, and violence from ICE.

That’s the real state of our union.

The American people are struggling under an affordability crisis.

But Donald Trump and Republicans are doing nothing to lower prices.

That's the real state of the union — no amount of lies or gaslighting can change that.

American families are struggling to afford groceries and health care.

Instead of lowering their costs, Republicans are buying Kristi Noem a luxury jet.

You deserve better.

Thinking about my late friend and mentor on what would've been his 86th  birthday.
 
Thank you, John, for your iconic leadership. You’ve taught America about the importance of getting into good trouble.
 
In your memory, Democrats will keep fighting for justice and equity.

The American people want lower costs, access to health care, and safer communities — not another war.

But Trump is moving closer to a war in the Middle East, without congressional approval and regard for working families’ needs.

This is not “America First.”

Judges decry treatment of nursing and pregnant detainees in ICE custody The agency has declined to say whether a Biden-era policy largely barring detention for pregnant and nursing mothers remains in force.

Children and pregnant women are being detained in inhumane, cruel conditions. 
 
This is not about going after the "worst of the worst." It's not about safety or security. 
 
Kristi Noem must go, and ICE needs to be reined in now.

I’m devastated to learn of the shooting in Pawtucket.

What should have been a unifying community event has now become another senseless tragedy.

Congress needs to pass commonsense legislation to end this cycle of gun violence once and for all.

We know what Kristi Noem meant.

Republicans are trying to rig our elections, and they’re not even hiding it.

Democrats won’t let that happen.

Today marks 8 years since a tragic mass shooting stole 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

I'm always inspired by the Parkland community that has found so much strength out of pain and grateful for the advocates who continue to lead our march toward a future free from gun violence.
