- The numbers don't lie: prices are up and wages aren’t keeping up. Trump promised affordability but he's only delivered rising gas prices, rising food prices, higher electricity bills, and an illegal war in Iran.
00:00 - Trump warned Iran that it would “pay the price” for the war that he started, but who is really paying the price? American families. 100 days of war, $100 billion bill for taxpayers, 100% failure in Iran. End it now.
- Farmers are on the frontlines of the climate crisis and need targeted land management tools to fight back. My bipartisan Natural Climate Solutions Research and Extension Act would help farmers get the resources they need to build resilience to extreme weather and lower emissions.
- I’ve led the charge to stop Trump’s outrageous efforts to block state AI regulations before. I’m ready to do it again.Scoop: White House, Hill relaunch effort to block state AI laws axios.com/2026/06/08/whi…
- Boston’s fare free buses have boosted ridership and saved riders’ money. Boston’s success shows it’s time to pass my Freedom to Move Act with @RepPressley so any community can reap the benefits of fare free transit.
