Missouri families were already struggling to stay afloat due to the president’s tariff taxes driving up costs. Now, they’re paying substantially more every time they fill up their gas tank because of the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East. They deserve better.

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.

After Republicans slashed investments in Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to give more tax breaks to their wealthy donors, American families have seen health care costs skyrocket. Now, millions are losing coverage altogether. nytimes.com/2026/05/01/bus…

Today, we celebrate International Workers Day. As we recognize the workers who built this nation, let us honor their legacy by continuing to demand fair wages, safer workplaces, and the right to organize. That’s what I’ll keep fighting for in Congress.

American families are struggling under the GOP cost-of-living crisis—but Republicans refuse to do anything to lower costs for the people. Instead, they want to give an unaccountable ICE more money to antagonize the public. I think that funding should go toward lowering costs for families.

Oof. The US national gas average just hit $4.30, according to AAA. That's the highest since July 2022. Gas prices have shot up $1.40 since the war in Iran began. That's adding ~$70 extra a month to household costs. #gas #inflation

As families nationwide face rising temperatures and higher energy costs, I introduced an amendment to establish a program that would provide $50 million per year to plant millions of trees in communities across the country, helping to combat increasingly prevalent heat waves and lower utility bills for households. Happy to see my amendment adopted on a bipartisan basis.

Inflation is at the highest levels in years—and meaningfully higher than when President Trump entered office. It’s clear that tariff taxes and the disastrous war in the Middle East are making life unaffordable for American families here at home.
Heather Long@byHeatherLong

JUST IN: PCE Inflation jumped to 3.5% in March, the highest in three years (since May 2023). This is a direct result of the war in Iran. And the pain will almost certainly be worse in April and (likely) May. Core PCE Inflation (excluding food and energy) jumped to 3.2% --> highest since January 2024. This is mainly a gas story, but healthcare also showing some spending increase.

I believe Congress can do better than today's legislation, and it is my hope that the Senate will work together to craft a truly bipartisan and comprehensive Farm Bill that provides meaningful relief to Americans who desperately need it. When that occurs, I look forward to supporting the final package.

The president’s reckless tariff taxes and disastrous war in the Middle East are driving up prices and crushing American families. Democrats are ready and willing to provide immediate relief that will lower costs—but we need Republicans to meet us in the middle.
Jesse Rodriguez@JesseRodriguez

The share of Americans who say their financial situation is getting worse is higher now than at any point in the past 25 years, according to a new Gallup poll. news.gallup.com/poll/708905/af…

Today’s appalling decision by the Supreme Court to unilaterally gut the Voting Rights Act is not only wrong—it is deeply disrespectful of the generations of African Americans and civil rights advocates who gave their freedom, their blood, and even their lives to make it possible. My full statement:

As a direct result of the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East, gas prices are now at a multi-year high—which is crushing families in #MO05 and all across the country. It’s time that Congress put an end to this conflict before more damage is done.
NBC News@NBCNews

U.S. gas prices hit a fresh record since the start of the war with Iran, rising to an average nationwide of $4.23 per gallon, according to the motor club AAA. nbcnews.com/business/energ…

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. Rather than working with Democrats on a bipartisan basis to meet the needs of the American people, they are struggling with basic governance.

☀️AM: THE WHEELS ARE COMING OFF THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE punchbowl.news/archive/42926-… In a week that was supposed to set the tone for a furious period of election-year legislating, @SpeakerJohnson's House GOP majority is once again the epitome of discord and dysfunction. It’s not really clear how House Republicans will get through the next few days. Johnson’s leadership team may lose yet another big rule vote. There’s constant grumbling inside House Republican leadership circles as people snipe at one another. Senate Republicans are furious with their House GOP counterparts. The White House seems fed up with the chaotic House GOP conference too. Plus, the stakes couldn’t be higher, politically and policy-wise. After a Rules Committee hearing that stretched from Monday to Tuesday, House GOP leadership plans to go to the floor today with a blueprint for debating several key bills. These include a FISA Section 702 renewal; a farm bill; legislation allowing the year-round sale of E15 ethanol fuel; and a budget resolution to fund ICE and Border Patrol. But that GOP-drafted rule looks destined to fail, another potentially devastating misstep for Johnson and his top lieutenants. And then what? Will Johnson keep the House in over the weekend? Will Johnson cancel the upcoming week-long May recess? Will Johnson have to punt to the Senate to ensure that the nation’s most critical foreign surveillance program doesn’t expire? House Republicans want to portray themselves as the “grownups” in Washington ahead of what’s expected to be a difficult midterm election. But at this point, they look like amateurs — and their majority is in deep trouble.

While the president promised his personal vanity project would not be funded by taxpayers, Republicans in Congress are planning to pay for the ballroom with $400 million in taxpayer funding. Yet, they refuse to invest in housing and health care to lower costs for American families. Shameful.
Acyn@Acyn

Graham on Ballroom: If you don't think $400 million of taxpayer money is a good investment to create a secure facility at The White House, then I disagree. I bet you 90% of Americans would love to have a better facility.

The president promised he would lower costs for American families on Day One. But his disastrous war in the Middle East is driving up energy costs for working-class families, ensuring Americans pay more of their hard-earned dollars every time they visit the gas pump.
