Fund health care and housing, not wars.
Families are already struggling with the cost of groceries and utilities, and now Trump is making gas more expensive because of his war in Iran.
Every action Trump takes from his illegal tariffs to his illegal war is making it harder and harder for people to get by.
BREAKING: I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA as Democrats push for common sense reforms to protect Americans from being killed by untrained and masked DHS agents.
Guess what? Republicans BLOCKED it.
Billion-dollar defense contractors make a fortune from Trump’s illegal war with Iran while families at home struggle to afford food and health care.
This is Trump’s America.

New Congressional Dem report shows that the GOP's Big Ugly Bill is going to benefit Big Oil to the tune of *$3.5 billion a year*.
Kinda makes those campaign contributions look like pocket change, no?
@merkley.senate.gov with the support of @lcv.org, @sierraclub.org, @oilchange.bsky.social, @publiccitizen.bsky.social, @foodandwater.bsky.social, @foeus.bsky.social is exposing how Trump’s Fossil Fuel graft drives up energy costs and destroys our planet.

🛢️In 2024, Trump told Big Oil execs he'd protect their interests if they spent $1 BILLION to elect him. Now, he's upheld his end of the deal.
New @senatebudget.bsky.social report details how Trump gave Fossil Fuel companies a $3.5 BILLION *annual* tax cut to continue polluting our planet.
🚨NOT GOOD: Nonpartisan CBO confirms Trump’s policies, including Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill championed during last night’s State of the Union, will DRIVE UP the debt significantly—raising America's debt-to-GDP ratio to 175% of GDP by 2056.
@merkley.senate.gov is calling for CBO to probe the cost of Trump’s violent escalation of federal immigration enforcement.
Last year, Republicans approved a dramatic increase in DHS funding, yet there is no comprehensive accounting of how these funds are being spent.
Pre-Trump, the economy was averaging 328,000 new jobs EVERY MONTH. But last year, the U.S. only added 181,000 jobs TOTAL.
Trump isn’t lowering costs OR growing the job market.
Waste. Fraud. Abuse.
Brought to you by the Trump Administration.
Let’s be clear: Trump’s Big, Ugly Betrayal was one of the largest transfers of wealth from working people to wealthy people in a single bill in our nation’s history.
It’s nothing to celebrate.
Trump’s Big, Ugly Betrayal added $4.7 TRILLION to the debt with just one single bill.
This Administration is anything BUT fiscally responsible.
Trump has made the State of our Union weaker.
He owes the American people an apology for this families lose, billionaires win agenda.
Trump has turned the U.S. government into a griftocracy, pocketing BILLIONS while cutting health care and SNAP.
“When the aim of government shifts from public good to private gain, its constitution becomes an empty shell. The government is no longer for the people.”
- Aristotle
Trump and Hegseth can’t even justify their $1.5 TRILLION defense budget ask—a staggering $500 BILLION INCREASE.
Congress should flat-out reject it.
An unserious request like this invites waste and abuse, and risks blowing up the bipartisan appropriations process altogether.
Trump slashed health care to fund tax breaks for billionaires and Americans are feeling the pain.
Millions are set to lose health coverage or pay exponentially higher prices for the same care.

🚨TRUMP’S RECKLESS TARIFFS OVERTURNED: Today is a win for farmers, small businesses, and hardworking, middle-class families across the country who’ve been footing the bill for Trump’s chaotic tariffs.

@merkley.senate.gov is asking the question Trump and Republicans won’t answer.
Pre-Trump, the economy was averaging 328,000 new jobs EVERY MONTH. But last year the U.S. only added 181,000 jobs TOTAL.
If Trump isn’t lowering costs or growing the job market, what exactly is he doing?
Trump just made it easier to fire experts, silence whistleblowers, and replace nonpartisan public servants with loyalist hacks.
No doubt this will weaken the programs that working Americans rely on most. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...
Trump promised to lower costs on Day One.
Instead, he cost you $1,000 last year.
Republicans claim "fiscally responsibility" when they cut programs working families rely on, but when it comes to wealthy donors wanting tax breaks—$4.7 TRILLION in new debt is no problem for them!
See the fallout from Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill for yourself:
🚨 NEW: CBO's 10-Year Economic Outlook confirms Trump and Republicans spent the past year making it hard for working families to get ahead while adding trillions of dollars to our national debt.

There is no low that Trump and Russ Vought won't stoop to when it comes to degrading and afflicting federal workers.
Denying disability insurance to a single mother dealing with a brain tumor is just cruel.
www.huffpost.com/entry/russel...
Trump spent $589 MILLION+ deploying the National Guard to our cities and $0 to extend health care tax credits for working families.
According to Trump, there's enough money for everything just none to help YOU.
In Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill, ICE got a $75 BILLION funding boost, more than 7x their annual budget.
ICE is out of control and Republicans are funding the chaos.
Yet again, Russ Vought is weaponizing the federal government to punish Americans who didn’t vote for Trump.
It’s shameful and it will cause real harm to working families.
