  1. Trump promised us a booming economy.

    His own job numbers, the weakest since COVID, say otherwise.

    Thanks to Trump, we have higher costs, a job-killing trade war, and a billionaire-first budget wreaking havoc on the middle class.

    New jobs report data shows that revisions for May and June were larger than normal. The jobs added were revised down by 125,000, and 133,000, respectively.

    This makes May and June of 2025 the worst months of jobs growth since mass layoffs in 2020.

  2. Right after Trump took away health care from working families and food from hungry kids, he’s building a lavish playground for his billionaire friends in the White House.

    This guy never gave a damn about you.

    The Trump administration has announced they will be building a $200 million ballroom at the White House.

    This comes weeks after passing a law that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

  3. Texas Republicans held SEVEN hearings about their plan to gerrymander the state before even one about flood relief.

    They’re not interested in helping flood victims.

  4. You pay into your Social Security benefits your whole life. You earned every cent.

    Trump wants to privatize it and hand your money over to his Wall Street buddies.

    They’re admitting it in the open.

  5. You’re looking at the newly gerrymandered map that Donald Trump ordered Texas Republicans to concoct while flood victims still await help.

    This is a last-ditch midterm scheme to keep Trump and Republicans in power.

    Every option is on the table to fight back.

    A congressional map of Texas showing the potential redistricting of the state by Texas Republicans—the map is colored showing mostly red.

  6. Medicaid and Medicare have helped millions of Americans over the past 60 years. 

    If not for Medicaid when I was a kid, my family wouldn’t have had health care in tough times. 

    To the Republicans who voted to destroy Medicaid—start looking for a new job. 

    We will vote you out.

  7. Today, over 40 Senate Democrats stood together with one voice: The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza demands immediate action.

    A statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin: Today, over 40 Senate Democrats stood together with one voice: The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza demands immediate action. Families are starving. Children are dying. And the world is watching in horror.

This is not just a tragedy—it’s a moral failure. Food and medicine are being kept from those who need them most. The suffering of innocent people should never be seen as an acceptable cost of conflict.

Donald Trump promised to end wars. But in his first year, he’s fueled their flames. He could act right now to surge aid into Gaza. He could press for the release of hostages. He could help broker a ceasefire. But he isn’t.

Instead, Trump has stood by as the crisis deepens. His inaction isn’t just weak—it’s inhumane. He has the power to help. He’s just choosing not to use it.

  8. Trump’s golfing on your dime while Republicans take an early vacation.

    Yet the Epstein files are nowhere to be found, rural hospitals are on the brink, and your health premiums are skyrocketing.

    Republicans need to do their jobs.

  9. Last night in San Diego, I met with veterans who served our nation.

    I heard from them about the issues that concern them—the Trump administration attacking the VA and the assault on our shared American values.

    Democrats are the party standing up for them.
