A combination of higher deficits, higher interest rates, and lower growth has left the United States with a significantly worse fiscal outlook. @jaredb-econ.bsky.social and @bbkogan.bsky.social explain the consequences of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill: https://ampr.gs/3ObgfMp

Grateful to join the Consumer Credit Industry Association on the Hill this week to discuss bipartisan, pragmatic solutions in the 119th Congress that expand housing supply, reduce financial risk, support working families and strengthen the economy.

From higher insurance premiums to disaster recovery bills, this is an issue that hits home and leaves working families paying the price for climate denial. We should be strengthening protections, not dismantling them.

Last night, I was proud to join every Democrat - and a few Republicans – to stop the tariffs on Canada. Why? Because Trump’s Tariffs are taxes, and working families are paying the price.

The House rejected an attempt to block votes that would end the national emergency underpinning President Trump’s tariffs. Three House Republicans voted with all of the chamber’s Democrats to block the move.

A grand jury saw through this political stunt. Using the Justice Department to target political opponents is an abuse of power – full stop. We will not be intimidated because the American people deserve better.

Breaking news: A federal grand jury refused the Justice Department’s attempts to indict six Democratic lawmakers over their comments to military service members — the latest rebuke of the Trump administration’s push to prosecute the president’s foes.

Hostility toward consumer protection is mind-boggling. We’re talking about shielding people from fraud, junk fees, and financial abuse. Real people feel the consequences when we weaken these protections – and that’s who I’m fighting for.

Last night the House rejected an attempt to silence oversight of Trump’s tariffs. Congress has a constitutional duty to check the executive branch – especially when working families and small businesses are paying the price.

Wow. CBO estimates that U.S. consumers bear 95 PERCENT OF THE TRUMP TARIFFS. Basically, foreign firms bear 5% of them, U.S. companies bear 30% of them but other U.S. companies get to raise prices on consumers from less competition so that nets to zero. And consumers pay rest.

Lowest-ever ranking. Let that sink in. Strong democracies depend on transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. When those foundations erode, the world notices. Public service is a public trust and we have a lot of work to do to restore it. www.cnn.com/2026/02/10/b...
The US slips to its lowest-ever rank in a global corruption index | CNN Business
The United States has fallen to its worst-ever position in a leading global index that measures views of corruption in the public sector among independent experts and businesspeople.

Donald Trump promised to “rapidly bring down costs.” Republicans in Congress said lowering prices was their top priority. More than a year into Trump’s second term and on thing is clear: they lied and you’re paying the price. abcnews.com/Business/tru...
Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group
President Donald Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

I’m making good on my commitment to hold Secretary Noem accountable for her careless leadership that enables ICE to terrorize communities across the country, denies due process, and threatens civil liberties for immigrants and American citizens alike. Read my letter pressing Sec. Noem for answers:

Our communities want jobs and security, not detention centers representing the worst of humanity. This is an important step, but we must do everything we can to ensure this plan never takes hold in #MO05. www.kcur.org/politics-ele...

Let me be clear, Ghislaine chose to protect dangerous and powerful predators instead of paving a path toward justice for survivors. Survivors, and the American public, deserve transparency and justice and we won’t stop until that’s achieved.

Yesterday, Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer critical questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s network before the House Oversight Committee, instead offering only to answer questions if promised clemency from the president.
