A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.
This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Trump campaigned heavily on lowering the price of groceries. How’s that going?

Still pretending you know what you’re doing, Donald?
BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

Donald Trump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in record time.
His war on affordability and small businesses are having real impacts — from his chaotic tariffs to his job and economy-killing immigration raids.
California will continue to fight back.

This is the first time one man has crashed the economy.
As Americans see their savings evaporate, what are Republicans in Congress doing? Nothing.
Republicans need to grow a spine and join Democrats right now to stop this man-made disaster.

Prices are up & economic warning signs are flashing red. Congressional Republicans need to stand up & vote no to Trump’s Tariff Tax increases. Quiet opposition won’t cut it. Time for bipartisan action ASAP.

THREE in TEN Americans have skipped taking their prescriptions because they’re too expensive.
So what did Trump do in his first days? Reverse efforts to lower drug prices.
Instead of helping everyday people, he’s lining the pockets of Big Pharma CEOs.

The net worth of the four richest Americans just hit $1 trillion combined.
Yes, you read that right. Trillion. With 12 zeros.
There is no reason that type of wealth should exist while average Americans struggle to afford rent and get food on their tables. Tax the rich.

While billionaires got 62% richer during the pandemic, working families struggled to survive. When workers earn more, everyone benefits. It’s time to build an economy that works for all—not just the top 1%. Raise the wage!
