Do congressional Republicans love this high inflation too? If not, they should work with Democrats to end Trump’s war of choice and tariff-taxes!

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Americans are paying more on everything from groceries to gas to health care. But what are House Republicans trying to do today? Hand billions more of your taxpayer dollars to the Trump-Vance administration’s lawless ICE and Border Patrol.

Social Security and Medicare are EARNED benefits! If Republicans want to focus on fixing them, let’s start by scrapping the income cap for Social Security so millionaires and billionaires *actually* pay their fair share of taxes.

Mike Johnson says Republicans want to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, calling them “entitlements” and saying they need to be "fixed"

Trump’s illegal war is sinking oil inventories and driving up the price of your gas. You shouldn’t be punished at the pump for the president’s bad policies.

Even President Trump does not know where his fake stats are coming from. In truth, thanks to Trump’s own policies, the Black unemployment rate is higher now than it was when he returned to office.
Even Trump says he doesn’t know ‘where the hell’ his own false claim about Black unemployment came...

I’m proud of Philly’s own @kwelkernbc for refusing to back down in the face of this president’s bullying and unhinged behavior.

President Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker that she was wrong when she said he'd promised no new wars. She was right, he was lying; he made that promise repeatedly in 2024. The evidence: cnn.com/2026/06/08/pol…

I proudly signed the discharge petition for the Major Richard Star Act. Right now, thousands of combat veterans are being robbed of their full retirement and disability pay. This critical legislation would correct this injustice and give our veterans their EARNED benefits.

Taxpayer dollars should be used to make life better for everyday Americans. Republicans want to give ICE a $70 billion blank check to unleash continued brutality on the community. House Democrats are a Hard NO.

What are House Republicans up to this week? Not lowering your costs. Not fighting corruption. Not protecting healthcare. But funneling $70 billion to ICE’s masked thugs.

At the gas pump. At the grocery store. And as they pay their bills, Americans are paying the price for Trump’s broken promises. It’s Day 101 of his optional war and the Senate needs to join the House in voting to END it.
