Trump spent the morning talking about his ballroom. You know what he didn’t tell us? How he’s going to lower the cost of living.
Trump, ranting and raving about his ballroom: "This is Rome. They like the flat roof. Greece likes the the triangles, and you see that. This is a porch that looks out over the city. Also, it's developed in such a way that we can have military there. It's also a drone port."
While Americans struggle to afford gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing, Donald Trump is worried about the drapes in his taxpayer-funded ballroom. His priorities are way out of whack.
No one has profited off the presidency more than this crooked con man. Trump has filled the swamp he promised to drain.
March 2026: Trump executes 7 purchases of Palantir stock, worth up to half a million dollars April 7-9, 2026: Palantir stock falls 13% in a selloff April 10, 2026: Trump praises Palantir on Truth Social and includes its stock ticker in his post April 10-22, 2026: Palantir stock surges 19%
Come say that to folks in Worcester who’re paying $80 to fill up their gas tanks now, all thanks to your corrupt cult leader’s stupid illegal war. These people are so out of touch it makes me sick.
KAITLAN COLLINS: “What about Trump’s promise to lower gas prices?” JIM JORDAN: “That’s life.” COLLINS: “If someone’s paying more for⛽️, saying ‘that’s life’ might not make them feel better.” JORDAN: “Those are your words, not mine.” COLLINS: “No you said that. Just now.”😬
Republicans are trying to roll back the decades of progress we’ve made towards fair representation in Congress and equal rights at the ballot box. Not on our watch. We’re fighting to take back our country.
We have to reclaim our power. We must listen to the wisdom of the courageous civil rights leaders who came before us and showed us the way forward. When enough of us stand together and fight back, we cannot be silenced.
Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.
Honored to accept Worcester Community Action Council’s Sargent Shriver Trailblazer Award! WCAC helps our neighbors in Central MA meet their basic needs by providing heating, nutrition & education support. This award inspires me to keep fighting for our shared values.
Inflation & gas prices just hit a 3-year high. Housing & healthcare have never been more expensive. …and Trump wants you to think we’re in an economic golden age?! Who are you going to believe—a career con man or your empty wallet?
Trump pardoned hundreds of sex predators & violent criminals who beat cops on January 6th. Now, they’re back on our streets—raping, assaulting, and murdering Americans. I don’t want to hear a damn thing from my Republican colleagues about “law and order.”
The Billionaire Epstein Class is making more than ever before while the rest of us are just struggling to get by. In Donald Trump’s own words, he doesn’t care: “Not even a little bit.”
Food is medicine, and medically tailored meals save lives. HUGE thank you to Community Servings for providing nutritious, scratch-cooked meals to people with chronic disease. My bill—the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Program Pilot Act—will expand access to those life saving meals.
