This is not only despicable, but it is deeply damaging to our armed forces. If promotions are based on racism and bigotry, rather than skill and experience, we will lose qualified and dedicated men and women in every branch of the military. This is not leadership. Mr. Hegseth and his team must go.

"Mr. Buria [Hegseth's chief of staff] told Mr. Driscoll [Secretary of the Army] that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events, the officials said." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

After weeks of blocking funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, Senate Republicans finally relented and passed legislation to fund these vital agencies. The House should pass the bill, end the chaos, and continue negotiations that will ensure stronger guardrails on ICE and CBP.

Breaking News: The Senate voted to fund the Homeland Security Department, except for ICE and the Border Patrol, a key step toward ending a partial shutdown.

The president’s reckless decision to start another regime change war in the Middle East is driving another surge of inflation that is already hurting hardworking families across the country. www.cnbc.com/2026/03/26/g...
Global forecasting group sees U.S. inflation at 4.2% this year, much higher than Fed estimate
The forecast is a sharp step up from the prior projection of 2.8%. Moreover, it is much higher than the 2.7% Fed officials estimated.

Fertilizer and fuel prices are spiking because of the president’s reckless war in the Middle East. Critical markets around the world have closed because of the president’s reckless trade wars. American farmers are struggling more than ever because of the administration’s reckless policies.

BARTIROMO: What are doing in your department to ensure farmers are not getting impacted harshly by the spike in the price of fertilizer? BROOKE ROLLINS: It's a great question. Obviously, the farm economy we inherited, the farmers have struggled.

Nearly a year after Liberation Day, the president’s illegal tariff taxes have cost American small businesses dearly. It’s time to put an end to these reckless policies that have driven up prices, killed good-paying jobs, and crushed small businesses! www.americanprogress.org/article/in-t...
In the First Year, President Trump’s Tariffs Have Cost Small-Business Importers $306,000 on Average
New state-by-state analysis finds that the Trump administration’s trade policies are a hefty tax on small businesses, the backbone of America’s workforce.

When was the last time the president pumped his own gas? Our billionaire president may not care that gas prices are rising at a record pace, but working-class families certainly do.

Equal hours. Equal effort. But only a fraction of the paycheck. That is the reality for women in America—and it’s unacceptable. On Equal Pay Day, I join my @demwomencaucus colleagues as we demand fair wages for all women. #EqualPayDay

72% of American workers say that now is a bad time to find a quality job. This is a direct result of the administration’s illegal tariffs and reckless economic policies that are driving up prices and killing good-paying jobs. apnews.com/article/jobs...
It's a bad time to hunt for new jobs, most US workers say in new Gallup poll
A new Gallup survey finds that Americans’ outlook on the job market is increasingly pessimistic. The negative shift may seem incongruous with the low unemployment rate, but the findings likely reflect...

Whether it is illegal tariff taxes or another regime change war in the Middle East, the president’s reckless policies are driving up prices, crushing hardworking families, and increasing the likelihood of a recession. Americans deserve better.

Economists have pulled up their risk assessments of a U.S. contraction amid heightened uncertainty over geopolitical risk and a labor market that for the past year has shown strains. Full details: cnb.cx/4lSRW2E

I'm glad to see the administration allowing summertime sales of E15—but more is needed. I urge Republican leaders to bring forward a proposal that will enable year-round E15, which will help to lower gas prices and support Missouri farmers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Trump EPA Allows Summer Sales of Higher-Ethanol E15 Gasoline
The Trump administration will waive higher-ethanol E15 gasoline from US volatility requirements this summer, expanding sales and delivering a win for corn farmers and biofuels producers.

The deployment of troops in Iran is an escalation that will guarantee months, if not years, of additional conflict—and billions more taxpayer dollars spent on another regime change war in the Middle East. Congress cannot allow the president to unilaterally drive our nation into another quagmire.
The Washington Post

The Pentagon ordered a couple thousand paratroopers to deploy to the Middle East, U.S. officials said, as President Trump weighs a significant escalation in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and declines to rule out putting U.S. troops on Iranian soil.

Democrats are fighting to ensure TSA agents, emergency responders, and our men and women in the Coast Guard receive their paychecks. But President Trump and Republicans in Congress are blocking the funding bill that will make it possible. It's time to put people over petty politics.

Trump and Republicans are FAILING our TSA agents and American travelers. TSA agents are working without pay because Trump refuses to work with Democrats to fund the TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard. They’d rather play political games than fund the Department of Homeland Security.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 25(source)
As the costs continue to skyrocket and families struggle to make ends meet, the president is more focused on spending tens of billions of dollars on another regime change war in the Middle East. It’s no wonder the public is extremely unhappy. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump's approval hits new 36% low as fuel prices surge amid Iran war, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
Americans' views on Trump soured significantly with regard to his stewardship over the economy and the cost of living, as gasoline prices have surged.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver@cleaver.house.govMar 24(source)
Happy National Ag Day! Today and every day, we show our appreciation for the American farmers who keep food on our tables and our nation strong. I’ll keep fighting for farmers by working to strike down costly tariffs and enact policies like year-round E-15.
