As the president’s tariff taxes continue to drive up prices, we got another concerning inflation report this morning. Republicans in Congress must put an end to the president’s reckless and inflationary trade policies before more economic harm is done to working-class families.
Much hotter-than-expected US PPI inflation: Monthly PPI inflation for December jumped to 0.5%, significantly above the consensus forecast of 0.2%. Core PPI was even more startling, coming in at 0.7% monthly and pushing the annual core measure to 3.3% (well above the anticipated 2.9%). #Inflation
The highest priority for American families is addressing the cost-of-living crisis—and affordable housing is at the very top of the list. Unfortunately, the president is openly stating his intention is to drive up housing prices even further. Completely out of touch.
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."
While hardworking families struggle to keep up with rising costs, the president is attempting to steal $10 billion from American taxpayers. Congress must put an end to the president’s flagrant corruption.
Trump sues the US Treasury and Internal Revenue Service for at least $10 billion over an unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns during his first term in office
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to lower costs and protect health care because care should be a right, not a luxury. It’s time that Senate Republicans allowed a vote to extend ACA tax credits to lower costs for hardworking families!
One year into this administration, the cost of living is up and the quality of life is down. The president promised to lower prices, but Republicans let ACA tax credits expire, driving premiums higher, putting care out of reach for patients, and placing even more pressure on providers like KC CARE.
Today, I visited KC CARE Health Center—because this is where policy meets real life. Even as our health care system faces increased strain due to Republican cuts, community health centers like KC CARE continue finding innovative ways to show up for our communities every day.
Last year, President Trump & Republicans in Congress enacted the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history to lavish tax cuts on the wealthiest 1% and explode the budget of ICE. It’s led to chaos in our streets and skyrocketing health care costs for American families. www.npr.org/2026/01/21/n...
Over 600,000 individuals are released from prisons each year. Our bill would provide $60 million to expand library resources and services to support the education and skills training of incarcerated Americans, helping to better prepare them for reintegration into society.
Thankful that @repilhan.bsky.social is safe and doing okay following the attack on her while she was speaking to constituents. Political violence has absolutely no place in America. I hope that every elected official will strongly condemn such despicable violence against Rep. Omar.
A man who confronted Rep. Ilhan Omar at a Minneapolis town hall meeting on Tuesday and tried to spray her with a substance was arrested and placed in police custody.
Millions of Americans, including tens of thousands in #MO05, are seeing their monthly health care premiums skyrocket because Republicans in Congress refuse to extend ACA tax credits. At a time when families are struggling to stay afloat, the GOP should put partisanship aside and provide relief.
Millions of Americans are starting to see their monthly health-insurance bills rise, a new pressure point for a nation still frustrated with the high cost of living on.wsj.com/4sYp8Ja
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor and mourn the six million Jewish people who were murdered during the Holocaust. Today and every day, let us stand up against the evil of antisemitism to ensure the horrors of the Holocaust are never repeated. #NeverAgain
As the president’s tariff taxes increase costs on businesses and consumers, they are killing good-paying manufacturing jobs and driving away investments in our communities. Republicans must help put an end to these reckless trade policies. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
