Trump ran for years, saying he'd lower costs Day 1. Here we are, 500+ days into his term, with the cost of groceries up, utilities up, health care up, gas up, and housing up. That's not bad luck—that's his tariffs, his energy policies, his healthcare policies. Trump owns this.

Fighting to make life affordable. Taking on the corporate interests standing in the way. That's how we show people what kind of party we are. And it's how we win elections.

Trump ended the most affordable student loan repayment plan in history and called it a win. A win for who? Not the 7 million borrowers about to see their monthly payments jump. Working people deserve a government that fights for them—not against them.

Reminder: The "Big Beautiful Bill" is the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the rich in modern American history. $ 1 trillion+ handed to the top 1% in tax breaks. $ 1 trillion+ ripped out of Medicaid and food assistance. That’s Trump’s signature policy “win.”

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will: Build more homes by cutting unnecessary red tape. Expand homeownership by making it easier for people to buy their first home. Put families ahead of Wall Street by stopping private equity firms from buying up single-family homes.

Despite promising to lower costs, Trump refused to sign the bipartisan housing affordability bill that Congress passed. It became law anyway. My op-ed on what else the government needs to do to lower costs—whether Trump wants to join us or not.

Whenever Donald Trump is losing, he reaches for the same playbook: Relitigate the 2020 election, spread debunked conspiracy theories, and try to convince Americans they can't trust the next election. We gotta call it out.

Fewer studios. Fewer movies and TV shows. Fewer journalists. Higher prices. That's what the Paramount–Warner Bros. merger means for the American people. I’m glad to see states stepping up.

AI companies are cashing in on America's broken, unaffordable health care system. They're encouraging people to upload medical records and scans. They're rolling out new "health" AI tools. They're doing it because your data is worth money. I have a privacy bill to push back.

Massachusetts got slammed by a major snowstorm in February. FEMA documented $45 million in damage. Trump denied that relief. Make no mistake: I'm going to fight like hell to get Massachusetts families and communities the help they've earned.

You can be the crypto industry's biggest profiteer, or you can be a president for working people. You can't be both. Trump’s $2.2 billion in corrupt crypto profits says which one he chose.

While you were figuring out how to pay rent, your president made $2.2 billion. While your groceries got more expensive, he was collecting $636M off a memecoin his own supporters lost money on. Who exactly is he working for? Not us.

Every family deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. On Saturday, my 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law, making that future more possible for millions of American families.

In the past week alone ICE has shot and killed two more people. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Republicans just keep giving more and more funding to this rogue agency. What we need is to stop this violence. Enough is enough.

Being president turned out to be Trump’s most profitable grift yet.

1 in 3 adults under 35 lives with their parents. Most of them are employed. The problem isn't work ethic. It's housing costs. That’s why I fought so hard for the new housing affordability law. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/realestate/a-th...Mostrar mais

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father. A husband. A brother. For 35 years, he built a life here and raised three sons. On his way to work, ICE agents searching for someone else took his life. I'm holding his family in my heart—and demanding accountability from this rogue agency.

Woo-hoo! The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is officially law and will help make housing more affordable. Donald Trump refused to sign it—but it automatically went into effect while he was sleeping last night. Today is a huge win for working people.

Taking a victory lap (with Bailey, of course) because our housing bill is now the law—even without Trump’s signature. Double woo-hoo for building more housing and stopping Wall Street investors from buying single family homes. Big win for working families.

.@peggyflanagan, has always shown up—not just with words, but with action. That’s who we need more of in Congress. It’s why I’m fighting by her side to win this race. You can too at: peggyflanagan.com

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would help tackle the housing shortage and make homes more affordable. And still Donald Trump is refusing to sign it. If you're serious about lowering costs, you don't reject one of the biggest housing bills in years.

Trump wants the “SAVE Act” to keep American citizens from voting. His theory: fewer voters = easier wins for him and Republicans. That's not democracy. That's rigging the game.

This is the Big Beautiful Bill’s impact: 💰$1T+ in tax cuts for the top 1% ✂️$1T+ slashed from Medicaid & food stamps 📉80% of families worse off (with Trump's tariffs) 💵Next year, a family making $50K will get < $2 a day from tax cuts, while the top 0.1% will get +$3…Mostrar mais

America is in a housing crisis: We don't have enough houses, and in some areas, private equity is trying to buy up the ones we do have. But Trump has made clear, crisis or not, he doesn't care.

Enthusiasm for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is due to the fact that it: - Boosts housing supply - Reduces homelessness - Cuts red tape to streamline construction - Expands access to homeownership - Stops private equity from hoarding homes It’s common sense.

Because of the Big, Beautiful Bill: A family making $50K will get less than $2 a day from this bill's tax cuts—while a household in the top 0.1% will receive more than $300K This is legalized theft from working people to reward the ultra-rich. We must not forget that.

While families struggle to afford rent and save for a home, Donald Trump still hasn’t signed the bipartisan bill that would actually lower housing costs. The American Dream shouldn't be reserved for the wealthy. We should be making it easier—not harder—for people to buy a home.

Here’s your periodic reminder: The worst is yet to come from Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. And that’s by design. Republicans wanted some of the worst impacts to take effect AFTER the midterms. We won’t be fooled.

Happy birthday, America! 250 years ago, ordinary people fought back against a king to form a new republic. One that reflected the many instead of the few. This Fourth of July we celebrate that act of patriotism—and we maintain that Americans still do not bow down to any kings.

That’s pretty much it.

July 23, 2025: The White House rolls out a plan to deregulate AI companies. Also, July 23, 2025: Trump buys up to $5 million apiece in stock of Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon & Broadcom. Coincidence? Congress must BAN stock trading by the President, VP, and lawmake…Mostrar mais

Democrats and Republicans worked together for a year and a half on a bill to build more housing, lower costs, and block private equity from buying up homes. The bill passed the House and the Senate. But Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum and still hasn’t signed it into law.

Only Donald Trump can explain to Americans struggling to afford a home why he's stalling the bipartisan housing bill.

Real wages are negative for the second month in a row. That means even if you got a raise, you're falling behind. You're working harder and taking home less. That's the Trump economy.

Trump claims he's profiting so much because "the stock market’s going up" and "everybody's profiting." That is BS. Trump made $2.2 BILLION last year making shady stock trades and corrupt crypto deals—while workers struggled to afford basic needs. When will enough be enough?

We passed a massive, bipartisan bill to lower housing costs and stop private equity from gobbling up homes. But Donald Trump won’t sign it.

Donald Trump is trying to stop American citizens from voting. Why? Because he knows his agenda is unpopular and Republicans can’t win based on what he’s doing, so he wants to rig the election by picking his own voters. That’s what the “SAVE Act” is all about.

LGBTQ Americans are disproportionately at risk of homelessness. And this administration's response? Strip away the protections that help keep a roof over their heads. It's shameful.

We are in a housing emergency all across this country. Prices are up because we have not built enough housing over the last few decades. We need millions more units in the United States. Why is Trump holding up the bipartisan housing bill?

Trump made it harder for workers to get jobs and join unions. He also made it easier for giant corporations to deny benefits and endanger workers. Working people power the American economy—they deserve better.

Social Security's trust fund runs out in 2032. That means an over 20% cut to benefits millions of retirees depend on. The fix is straightforward: make the highest income Americans pay the same tax rate as everyone else. Congress must act now.

Mortgage rates are high. Construction costs are up. Financing a home is harder than ever. And Trump's policies are making all of it worse. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would bring real change for working families trying to buy a home.

Trump owes Congress and the American people a full accounting of his deal with Iran. Every detail. Now.

Republicans in Congress handed out over $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% — and they slashed over $1 trillion from health care and food assistance. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in one law in American history.

We’re in a housing crisis. So after years of inaction, Congress overwhelmingly passed a good bipartisan bill that would help families afford housing. But Trump doesn't care about people who are struggling to afford rent or buy a home. He. Just. Doesn’t. Care.
