ICE is a danger to every community.
People shot in broad daylight.
Inhumane conditions.
Deporting citizens.
All funded by more than $70B from the GOP’s Big Ugly Law.

Families have spent $100 BILLION more on fuel since Trump’s war started.
And for what? No goal, no strategy, and no purpose.

Inflation is way up, and everything is more expensive.
Why? Trump’s war and pointless tariffs.
The GOP can’t gaslight Americans with blatant lies.
Hassett: Inflation is way down. I go to the grocery store every weekend and I just noticed the hamburger for by barbecue was down two dollars from a couple of weeks ago.
Community note
Hassett's anecdote of one hamburger price drop does not show inflation is way down. BLS data shows CPI up 3.4% year-over-year through August 2026 while ground beef averaged a record $6.92/lb, up 9.6% from a year earlier.

I hung up these photos of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes the day I moved into the Whip’s office.
Gloria is and will always be a reminder of what’s possible when we fight in solidarity with one another.
A trailblazer and a titan for women and the progressive movement. I’m praying for her family and loved ones. Rest in peace, Gloria.
