The president promised he would drain the swamp. Instead, he is personally enriching himself more than any president in U.S. history. It is way past time that Congress banned lawmakers and administration officials from trading stocks.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

President Trump was months late in disclosing tens of millions of dollars in stock trading, according to his latest investment filings, pushing the legal limits of a financial practice Americans have largely opposed from their elected officials. wapo.st/4drlT67

While gas and grocery prices are skyrocketing due to the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East, congressional Republicans refuse to put the best interests of their constituents above their loyalty to the president. ms.now/news/republica…

As Americans are struggling to keep up with the Republican cost-of-living crisis, the president is stealing $1.7 BILLION in taxpayer funding to start a slush fund benefitting himself and his personal allies. Congress must push back on this brazen corruption. abcnews.com/US/trump-poise…

After hundreds of Democratic lawmakers called on SCOTUS to uphold access to mifepristone, I’m pleased the court made the right decision & restored access to this safe and FDA-approved medication. But this fight isn’t over. We must continue to defend reproductive freedom for every woman nationwide.

$13 million for the president’s vanity project. $1 billion for the president’s ballroom. $29 billion on the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East. Why is this taxpayer funding not going toward providing relief to hardworking American families?
David Fahrenthold@Fahrenthold

NEW: The cost of President Trump's plan to repair the Reflecting Pool has jumped by 88 percent, to $13.1M, gov't records show. The price appears to include a 20 percent profit margin for Trump's handpicked contractor, who got the job in a no-bid contract. nytimes.com/2026/05/11/us/…

Hardworking American families are being crushed under rising costs caused by the administration’s disastrous war in the Middle East. The president’s response? “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”
ABC News@ABC

Grocery prices in the U.S. soared faster in April than any month in nearly four years, driving up the cost of everything from frankfurters to tomatoes to cupcakes, according to government data. abcnews.link/xPaGhxl

If he hadn’t made it clear with his disastrous policies that are crushing American families, the president says it plainly: he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” “Not even a little bit.”
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

President Trump said he does not consider the economic impacts the war in Iran is having on Americans. “Not even a little bit‚” Trump said when asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” are motivating him to end the war. wapo.st/3R2ObfL

Thanks to the administration’s reckless policies and disastrous war in the Middle East, inflation is at the highest level in three years—and workers are falling further and further behind.   They are suffering as a direct result of Republican policies.
Heather Long@byHeatherLong

JUST IN: Inflation is now eating up all wage gains for the first time in about three years. This is painful for Americans and a true financial squeeze. CPI Inflation in past year: 3.8% Wage gains: in past year: 3.6%

The president promised he would lower costs on Day One. Instead, inflation is meaningfully higher than when he took office, as his reckless tariff taxes and disastrous war in the Middle East drive up prices on everything from gas to groceries to health care.
Heather Long@byHeatherLong

JUST IN: U.S. inflation jumped to 3.8% (y/y) in April--> the highest in three years. This is painful for Americans, especially moderate-income households. Inflation rose 0.6% in the month of April due to soaring gas prices that accounted for over 40% of the increase. Rising shelter and food prices also pushed up inflation. Core inflation (which excludes food and energy came in at 2.8% (y/y) in April

Having grown up in segregated Texas, I understand exactly what the Voting Rights Act means for Black voices and representation in America. @TheBlackCaucus will not stand by while the Supreme Court and Republicans work to roll back the clock.

At a time when farmers and families are struggling with skyrocketing fuel prices due to the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East, year-round sales of E15 gasoline will support Missouri's economy and lower costs for the American people. It's a win-win.
Elizabeth Elkin@ElizabethElkin

The agriculture industry’s long-running push to expand higher-ethanol gasoline is at a critical juncture as farmers seek new demand. The House is expected to vote this week on legislation that would allow year-round, nationwide sales of E15 gasoline. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Inflation is currently higher than when the president took office. Gas prices are substantially higher than when the president took office. Unemployment is higher than when the president took office. The administration is completely out of touch with the struggles of working-class Americans.

Hassett on record low consumer sentiment: "President Trump is taking every problem on earth and gone 100% at fixing it, and I think that can be stressful for people to see so much change going on"
