People are struggling with the cost of living. And Trump's policies have made it worse. Illegal tariffs → higher grocery bills Failed Iran war → higher gas prices What happened to Trump’s promise to cut costs on Day 1?

Here's what I think about Trump's pledge to give everyone $5,000 if he wins the midterms: It's as real as Trump's promise to lower costs on Day 1. Check the receipts from @Groundwork for the 15 times Trump promised Americans $$$. Remember the DOGE dividend?

I teamed up again with my daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, and we wrote a book: The New Middle Class. It's about how working people can take control of their money and build financial stability—even in an economy rigged for the rich and powerful that we're fighting to fix.

States are about to face an "existential crisis" as the federal government slashes its share of SNAP funding from 50% to 25%. Families shouldn't have to choose between food and rent. States shouldn't have to choose between SNAP and schools. Congress must reverse these cuts.

I know what's at stake this midterm. That's why I'm putting over $1.5 million behind Democrats winning up-and-down the ballot this November.

Woo-hoo, congrats to @ChrisPappasNH on his primary win! Chris will deliver for families across New Hampshire. Now let's take this all the way in November.

4 MILLION people have already lost food aid since the Republican tax package became law. That includes over 1 MILLION CHILDREN. In October, states will have to pay 75% of SNAP costs themselves—forcing them to slash the program or raise taxes. Unconscionably cruel.

I've spent years going after waste: corporate contractors overcharging taxpayers, insurers gaming Medicare, billionaires dodging taxes. But DOGE wasn't about any of that. It served the rich and powerful while leaving working Americans worse off.

.@NYTimes reports $1 BILLION in secret money flooding our elections. Corporate donors hiding behind shell nonprofits. Billionaires secretly picking our candidates. This isn't democracy—it's corruption. We need REAL campaign finance reform NOW.

Workers didn't win weekends, safer workplaces, better wages, or the 40-hour workweek because corporations decided to do the right thing. They won those rights by organizing and fighting together. This Labor Day, we honor that history and keep fighting for working people.

Republicans will outspend us. They'll get ugly. Trump will throw dirt. But we have something they don't: organized people. That's how we win.

Want lower gas prices? → End Trump's war in Iran. Want lower grocery prices? → Stop Trump's illegal tariffs. Want lower health care costs? → Reverse Trump’s health care cuts.

Trump always finds money for his vanity projects. Instead of lowering health care costs, he's building himself a ballroom. Instead of helping families make ends meet, he's courting wealthy donors. Instead of restoring trust in government, he's trading stock to enrich himself.

Donald Trump is clawing back student debt relief and blaming "errors." Meanwhile, he’s fired the staff that helps borrowers. You can't pretend to care about working people while doing this.

Among other agencies, Trump has gutted the Department of Education, weakened food safety protections, and hollowed out the IRS. The result? Historic learning loss in our schools. More food safety crises. And tax cheats getting away with skirting the bill.

By the way, with majorities in the House and the Senate, Republicans in Congress could end Trump’s corruption and self-dealing right now. But are they? Nope. All they can do is bow down.

Gloria Steinem believed women's equality wasn't a side issue—it was everything. She fought for the right to abortion access, credit, and careers. Because of her, women can occupy spaces we were never supposed to. Thank you, Gloria.

Almost every night, Trump calls his fundraiser asking one thing: Who's paid me and how much? He's keeping score. That's a shakedown being run from the Oval Office.

Trump is dismantling our government—and it's harming people. Gutted the Department of Ed. → families can't afford college Slashed food safety agencies → cyclospora outbreak Decimated the IRS → billionaires stop paying taxes We need to hold him accountable in November.

ICYMI: Back in July, Trump tried (and failed!) to block our housing affordability bill—critical legislation that would make rent more affordable and help people actually buy a home. Luckily, it passed anyway. It’s now the law.

According to Donald Trump, if you don’t want a giant AI data center in your backyard, you’re “backwards and poor.” You know what’s backwards? Telling American families to shut up and pay higher electricity bills so trillion-dollar tech companies can build their AI empires.

Let's be clear about what DOGE actually accomplished: ✓ Cut cancer research ✓ Gutted veteran programs ✓ Axed aid to farmers ✓ Weaponized Social Security ✓ Slashed humanitarian aid ✓ Made Elon Musk $8 million a day That's cruelty disguised as “efficiency."

So let me get this straight: Trump gets a diamond ring from Belgium’s diamond industry → Weeks later, the Trump administration exempts European diamonds from new tariffs → Quite the coincidence, if you ask me.

Back-to-school time under the Trump administration: Education Department dismantled. Staff cut in half. Public school funding siphoned to private schools. Working families left behind. He's not giving parents choices—he's abandoning our kids.

ICYMI, our 21st Century Road to Housing Act helps: Build more homes. Reduce homelessness. Cut unnecessary red tape. Expand homeownership. Bring down housing costs for families across the country.

15,700+ Americans got sick with cyclosporiasis from contaminated lettuce. But here's what happened first: CDC grants slashed by 40%. Local food safety staff cut in half. Federal labs closed. Key agencies eliminated. This outbreak was preventable.

Yes, corruption costs you money: Trump gives contracts to donors, not necessarily the best bidder. He gives tariff breaks to countries that give him gifts. He gives billionaires and corporations tax breaks. You pay more. They cash in.

Homeownership is the foundation of economic security. The median age of a first-time homebuyer hit 40. That has to change. Our 21st ROAD to Housing Act increases housing supply and reduces construction costs.

Trump owns ~$1 billion in cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, his administration shapes crypto policy. The President shouldn't be getting rich off his own policy decisions.

The American people deserve transparency. They deserve accountability. And they deserve a government that works for them—not for Donald Trump's ego.

$1.4 billion in crypto scams. Selling access to early social posts at $100,000 a pop. A $400 million jet from Qatar. It’s a long, long, long list. And it’s getting longer every day. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.

Trump's illegal tariffs cost American families $2,500 each. Now $166B in refunds are being returned—but NOT to the families who paid. Here's who's actually getting the money back: Amazon: $600 million Apple: $2.2 billion Walmart: $2.9 billion Does that seem fair to you?

Dolly Parton gifted the world with her talent and heart. From supporting children, donating to science, investing in Tennessee, and giving us songs to sing our hearts out to (looking at you, "9 to 5"), she made the world a better place. Thank you, Dolly, for leading with love.

The new housing law has 50+ new ideas to help more Americans afford a home. The ROAD to Housing Act is a game-changer. We can build a country where everyone who works hard has a real shot at a home of their own.

When he ran for President, Trump promised he would lower costs on Day One. And today? The cost of groceries is up. Cost of housing—up. Cost of utilities—up. Cost of health care—up. Cost of gasoline—up. Cost of pretty much everything you need to buy—up, up, up.

Look, the Republicans have the majority in Congress. They could constrain Donald Trump on the war. On these slimy tax deals. On his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And we know that’s not happening.

Trump promised to make life more affordable. Instead, his war with Iran is raising costs, and his economic agenda is putting working families last.

When did you stop believing you'd ever buy a home? When did the dream start feeling impossible? I've heard this story too many times. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act says: Not anymore. Your dream matters.

Private equity has mowed its way through a thousand industries in America—rolling up competitors, then selling off the businesses for parts, sucking out the value, and leaving nothing but a shell behind. We must stop Wall Street looting and rein in private equity.

9 million Americans are now in default on their student loans. There is real economic pain out there. This is where Democrats draw the line: We’re ready to fight to make life more affordable for you.

Trump’s failed economic policies are hammering America’s workers. July: 23,000 jobs lost. Wage growth: slowest in five years. And after accounting for rising costs, workers’ paychecks are shrinking. Trump promised an economic boom. Instead, families are getting squeezed.

More than 50 parents and spouses of active-duty service members have been detained since Trump took office. At least 6 have been deported. And at least 8 immediate family members remain in immigration custody. Trump is tearing military families apart. It has to stop.

The five biggest defense contractors spent more than $100B on buybacks and dividends since 2020. I have a simple question for defense contractors: If taxpayers are giving you billions to build military equipment, why are you buying back your own stock? This needs to stop.

AI is going to change our economy in ways we’re only beginning to understand—from the jobs market to the grid. Of course, Trump doesn’t care. He sees AI as a gold rush for the tech giants. We need to get ahead and make sure AI works for working people—not just the ultra-rich.

What if I told you homeownership was possible again? That you don't have to rent forever? The new housing law is a giant leap toward making that vision a reality... This is how we take the housing market back from Wall Street and return it to families where it belongs.

You need to listen to this: New reporting by the Wall Street Journal proves that Trump is the most corrupt president in U.S. history.

A $20 burrito shouldn't be the new normal. Trump's policies are making everything that goes into it more expensive: gas, avocados, meat. Stop the war, end the illegal tariffs, and then people will have a better chance at being able to feed themselves without going broke.

Prices are up. Fewer jobs. And families are feeling the strain from Trump’s economic chaos. This isn’t what a strong economy looks like. It’s what happens when you put chaotic tariffs, tax breaks for billionaires, and Wall Street ahead of working people.

Capital One cheats customers and gets caught. They agree to pay back $2.2 billion. Then they donate $1 million to Trump. Poof! Settlement canceled. Cap One pockets $2.2 billion instead.
