Even Republicans don't support Trump's Big, Ugly, Bloated War budget. $1.5 TRILLION for war while he cuts investments here at home? Absolutely not. I'm tearing up his budget to write a new one that actually invests in America and our families.

Trump's move to increase military spending from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion is 2-to-1 unpopular, per WaPo-ABC poll. 32% support 65% oppose Even 30% of Republicans oppose it.

Families can't afford to fill their tank and put food on the table because of Republican wars and tariffs. Health care is more expensive than ever thanks to Republican cuts and obstruction. Americans simply don't care about a stupid ballroom.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Trump: "Very importantly, right over there, you're gonna have the greatest ballroom ever built"

Trump passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Hospitals are laying off staff and closing because of him. Right now, in several states like mine, he's using AI to deny seniors on Medicare the treatments their doctors are recommending. These are just facts.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Trump on flying with Dr Oz: "It was the most boring trip I've ever made. He's telling me about Medicare, Medicaid. I said, 'You work out the details.'"

Firefighters and nurses don’t get to hide their money in a trust fund and skip out on paying their taxes—billionaires shouldn’t get to either. My new bill would close tax loopholes for billionaires with more than $50 million in dynasty trusts. spokesman.com/stories/2026/m…

REMINDER: Republicans had every opportunity to save the ACA tax credits. They chose not to. They’ve found plenty of money to fund Trump’s war in the Middle East, but they won’t spend a cent on health care for Americans. nytimes.com/2026/05/01/bus…

Trump’s reckless policies are driving up prices for every American. But here’s the thing: this Republican Congress could stop him at any moment. They’ve decided not to, and we’re all paying for it—literally.

Republicans said it should be about states’ rights when it comes to abortion. Except when Louisiana’s extremist Attorney General wants to tell women in my state—and the entire country—how they can get medication abortion? NO. Protect abortion rights.

There are no Republican deficit hawks anymore. Not when they have proven that every time they win power, they will blow up the debt on war and tax cuts for billionaires.

Senator Patty Murray@PattyMurray

Today I asked the top nonpartisan budget official in our government an important question. What single piece of legislation has contributed most to the national debt in the last decade? The answer? Trump's Big Ugly Bill—and it's not even close.

Trump has spent TENS OF BILLIONS of your tax dollars on his war of choice with Iran. Republican logic: always money for war, never any to help working families put food on the table or get health care.

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Trump gets richer while working families struggle to get by thanks to his disastrous decision making. He is the most corrupt President in history. Period.

Steven Rattner@SteveRattner

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

Gutting the Voting Rights Act is a giant step backward for our country. A better future is possible but it requires ALL of us to make ourselves heard with our voices and our votes. It means voting in every election, staying engaged. "Democracy is not a state. It is an act."

Gas prices are NOT coming down. They are going UP. And everyone in America knows that Donald Trump and Republicans are to blame. There's not a lot that's worse for the American economy than a Republican President and a Republican Congress.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Tim Scott: "The fact of the matter is that all of the cylinders are kicking. It is good news. You can even feel in our environment how good things are getting. Gas prices continue to come down, which means your groceries will come down a little bit as well. We've got a lot of good signs in the economy."

It's a good day when the Senate rejects at least one junk science charlatan. Good riddance to Casey Means, RFK Jr. is doing enough damage on his own. I'll keep pushing for his removal to protect science and common sense in our government.

Like a lot of women’s health, menopause has been overlooked, underinvested in, & left behind. That's why @lisamurkowski & I are fighting to INCREASE funding for research into mid-life women's health. More than half this country goes through it, it's time we act like it.

Speaker Johnson extended the DHS shutdown for over a MONTH for no reason at all. This is the same bill the Senate passed five weeks ago. An inexcusable failure by House Republicans. But it’s a very good thing the TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, & more will finally be funded.

Linda McMahon & Trump are wrecking the Department of Education. Why? So we can throw another half-TRILLION dollars at the Pentagon? Maybe I'm biased as a former preschool teacher, but I think investing in our kids is more important than shoveling money at defense contractors.

Trump: "We have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times." But I guess that's not enough because he wants $7 billion MORE for nuclear weapons. Because that's what families are begging for: Less affordable housing, so Trump can blow up the world 151 times.
