This is a direct result of Trump's policies.

Trump campaigned on lowering costs, helping families, and putting America first. 
 
He's breaking every one of those promises and demanding we slash investments in American families to fund reckless foreign wars.

Trump wants to spend half a TRILLION more of your taxpayer dollars for his war with Iran. 
 
It would rob our families and burden our grandkids with mountains of new debt—and for what? So Trump has more bombs he can threaten to “end civilizations” with?

Last year, Trump’s cabinet showed up to Congress completely unprepared to defend Trump’s indefensible budget.

It’s that time of year again and I’ll be pressing top officials for the answers the American people deserve.

Trump wants to rob American families to pay for war.

That is what his budget for next year boils down to.

WA diesel prices continue to skyrocket As U.S.-Iran peace talks hit another major snag this weekend, gas prices in Washington have continued to skyrocket.

Seattle is literally breaking records for the price of diesel thanks to Trump's war of choice.

This is hitting our supply chains—and you're going to see the difference at the grocery store.

I'll keep voting to end this senseless war again and again.

White House Declines to Offer Congress an Estimate of Iran War Cost

TRANSLATION: When Trump's budget director says he doesn't know the cost of Trump's war because it is "fluctuating" what he means is that the cost keeps going WAY up.

Trump's Budget Director Russ Vought just REFUSED to tell me how much of YOUR taxpayer dollars Trump has already spent on his war of choice with Iran.

That's outrageous. It's literally his job to know, and the American people deserve answers!

Trump's biggest economic priority is making sure the rich get richer while the rest of us are paying higher prices for health care, groceries, and gas. So much for "America first."

What a loss for local journalism, but what a meaningful legacy to leave behind and inspire others. Rest in peace, Joel. My thoughts are with his loved ones and family.

Joel was a legendary journalist who did important shoe-leather reporting. We didn’t always agree, but that’s not how he’d ever have wanted it—he knew his top job was to hold our leaders accountable.

How Trump's tax law boosts the wealthy and leaves behind some workers he promised to help President Donald Trump pledged “no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security.” For some who are filing their taxes this year, the reality is different.

The tax refunds that Americans are receiving this year are being eaten up by Trump's tariffs—which are costing the average American household $1,700 this year.

Thanks to Republicans, billionaires get a kickback and you pay a Trump tariff tax.

Tonight I voted YES for two arms sales resolutions to block the sale of certain weapons to Israel.

I will not tolerate Netanyahu's reckless disregard for human life and human rights. My full statement:

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.

I voted to put a check on Trump and END his war of choice with Iran. Senate Republicans refused, and voted to continue Trump's war and keep gas prices surging.

Democrats will keep forcing tough votes until this war is over and our servicemembers are home.

I just voted to put an end to Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran for the FOURTH time.

And for the FOURTH time, Republicans blocked us to let Trump spend BILLIONS more on bombs while prices across the board are skyrocketing.

Wholesale inflation rose in March to three year-high | CNN Business Fast-rising oil prices sent US businesses’ costs higher in March, lifting wholesale inflation to 4%, the highest annual rate in three years, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Tuesd...

Trump's economy: rising costs and record inflation.

Translation: Trump’s reckless war of choice with Iran is more important than your ability to afford the basics.

Exclusive | Trump Promises Mass Pardons to Staff Before Leaving Office In a recent meeting, the president said he would pardon those within 200 feet of the Oval Office, according to people familiar with the remarks.

What kind of crimes are being committed that White House staff would need pardons for?

This is blatant and historic corruption.

Criminals should NOT be running the White House.

They are actually manufacturing and building something special right here in America, but Trump’s tariffs are hurting them and driving up costs.

Congress must vote to END these tariffs.

No. The 2020 election was not rigged or stolen from Trump.

These lies aren’t just a tantrum because his ego is bruised from losing—they undermine our free & fair elections and are a threat to our democracy.

Oh, and didn't Fox News have to pay $787 million for spreading these lies?

Last year, I said I’d rip up Trump’s budget and make sure Congress wrote a new one—we did and I’ll make sure we do it again.

The American people want their tax dollars going toward investments that help everyone and make life more affordable—basics like utilities & child care.

Prices are surging and it's thanks to two main things:

1. Trump starting a costly foreign war that no one asked for.
 
2. Trump's arbitrary & corrupt tariffs.

He promised to lower inflation, to lower prices—he not only broke those promises, he's actively doing the OPPOSITE.

Report: 28k Washingtonians cancel insurance plans Thousands of people across the state are dropping their health insurance amid spiking costs, according to the latest available data from the Washington Health B

This is a DIRECT result of Republican inaction.

I tried to push a vote for over a YEAR to extend the ACA credits that helped folks get the health care they needed—but Republicans wouldn't budge.

I won't stop fighting until health care becomes affordable for families at home.

President Trump approves disaster relief for December flooding in Washington, FEMA announces The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced on Saturday that disaster assistance has been approved to aid in recovery efforts from December’s flooding and landslides in Washington.

It’s good that President Trump has approved this major disaster declaration for Washington state.

There are more federal resources Washington will need and I’ll be working to make sure our communities get the help they need to recover.

Families in Seattle and Spokane didn't vote for Trump's war of choice, but they're the ones paying for it every time they fill up their tank.

And Republicans are blocking Democrats from putting an end to this war for good.

This mission and yesterday's safe return just goes to show how outstanding American scientists and astronauts really are.

Welcome home, Artemis II crew. Thank you for inspiring the world. 🚀🌙🌎

CPI report: US inflation tripled last month on record spike in gas prices | CNN Business Consumer prices increased by 0.9% last month due to spiraling energy costs from the US-Israeli attack on Iran.

How the economy changes can be complicated, but this isn’t.

Trump started a war no one asked for and sent energy costs surging. He forced tariffs that made nearly everything more expensive.

You're paying more because of Trump—period.

Sure, Don.

US inflation soars in March as war on Iran drives economy into uncertainty Prices were up 3.3% over the year, adding to the unpredictability that first came with Trump tariffs

Remember when Trump promised to "end inflation?"

Well, instead, you got a President who is directly responsible for driving up inflation—all thanks to a war he didn't have to start and tariffs no one wanted.
