As inflation surges due to the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East, wages are not keeping up with skyrocketing costs. It means hardworking families are falling further and further behind. They deserve better.

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains. Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year. Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class

There isn’t a single dollar in the Republican budget bill to lower Americans’ cost of living, but Republicans are ready to give ICE a blank check worth $70 BILLION to keep brutalizing our communities without guardrails or accountability. I will be voting NO on this dangerous

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her." "I traveled
