Donald Trump’s oil prices are too damn high. We’ve all experienced the pain at the pump and hear the same from our neighbors. @HouseDemocrats continue to call for Trump to end his war on Iran. It’s a reckless war he chose. Stop the war and bring down the high cost of oil.

Tariffs and rising gas prices are crushing Americans’ finances. The average worker is worse off now than they were before Trump took office. But he isn’t just doing fine—he’s getting filthy rich while you suffer. So much for being a “public servant.”
Trump’s net worth hit $7 billion in 2026. That’s triple where it was in early 2024, according to Forbes data.

Gas has now hit nearly $4.50 a gallon in Central Florida. The GOP Majority sent us home last week rather than address the Iran War, tariffs, gas tax or other relief. The American people deserve better.

From a new White House ballroom to the Kennedy Center to the reflecting pool, President Trump's vanity projects are expected to cost more than $1.8 billion. That's more than it would cost to cover a month of groceries or electricity for every San Diego household. Affordability was never a priority for him, and this is proof. jec.senate.gov/public/_cache…

Normally, gas prices drop this time of year. Instead fuel costs are skyrocketing, due to Trump’s war in Iran, forcing many Louisianians to choose between buying baby formula and filling their gas tank. That’s a choice no family should have to make. piped.video/0cIW2vczFBw?is=6dme…

Health care isn’t a game. Health insurance costs are going up again, and millions of Americans are going to feel it in their wallets. Democrats are fighting to make sure families can afford the care they need. Trump and Republicans are making that harder. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

When I met with farmers in Dracut earlier this month, they all shared the same sentiment: costs are too high.  Gas and diesel price hikes are making everything from running tractors and equipment, buying fertilizer, to transporting crops cost more. And when farmers’ costs go up, food prices go up, too.  Families have to make harder choices at the grocery store, including putting fresh produce back on the shelf. This hurts everyone in the long run. wgbh.org/news/local/2026-09-…

NEW: @FrankPallone and @RepGuthrie have introduced new, bipartisan legislation to improve and streamline the process for barring malicious tech from the United States.   “It’s time for Congress to […] ensure there are no gaps in how we deal with our foreign adversaries or the telecom equipment they develop and control.”   More here: democrats-energycommerce.hou…

Do these people know how health insurance works?
Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

Project 2025 architect Russell Vought views medical science as a blue-state subsidy, not a public good. Vought's OMB is waging a multi-front war against the NIH's funding and peer review. Red-state researchers: time to launch a counter-attack. Tell your representatives & senators to keep politics out of the scientific method.

Science shouldn’t be political. Researchers need stability to develop the cures and treatments patients rely on. President Trump’s repeated attacks on research funding will lead to fewer scientific breakthroughs happening in America. In San Diego, it means fewer jobs and more economic chaos.

First Republicans stripped Medicaid from millions. Then they let premiums spike for millions more. Now JD Vance is using claims of "fraud" to take coverage from hundreds of thousands more. People losing health care isn't a bug, it's their plan.

So incredibly dangerous. Congress has to act. NIH has to remain nonpartisan.

Let’s be clear: this is censorship. President Trump is banning CNN, MSNBC, and POLITICO from the White House because he doesn’t like their reporting. No President gets to decide which journalists are allowed to do their jobs based on whether they like the coverage. The First Amendment protects a free and independent press from political interference. We cannot allow those freedoms to be eroded. reuters.com/world/us/trump-b…

A 53-day recess is unacceptable. Families across America don’t get a recess from the high cost of groceries, gas, healthcare, or the risks of AI. Neither should Congress. That’s why @HouseDemocrats are united. Cancel recess. Call a special session. Or at the very least, keep a group of us in Washington to tackle the issues that are top of mind for the people we represent. thenextweb.com/news/house-de…
