“Inflation was at 1.6% for the last three months just prior to the war,” President Trump tells members of Congress at a picnic event.

Reality…

November: 2.7%
December: 2.7%
January: 2.4%
February (almost all pre-war): 2.4%

The White House didn’t try to substantiate this claim when Trump was saying it was “1.7%” in the three pre-war months — instead declaring, as usual, that “President Trump is right” about some other related point he didn’t make.

The most recent rate, for April, is 3.8%. https://t.co/eK80wqSM2C

Just so we’re clear:

Republicans are celebrating blocking millions of women from voting if their married name doesn’t match the name on their birth certificate.

The most out of touch administration in history

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Due to Trump’s tariffs, last month was the largest spike in grocery prices in three years.

So now this is what the Trump Administration suggests you can afford for a meal: “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing.”

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

BREAKING: After an appeals court denied Trump's effort to withhold SNAP funds for hungry families, the President is appealing YET AGAIN all the way to the Supreme Court.

It is stunning the lengths Donald Trump will go to in order to force children and seniors to go hungry.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Do their Senators know?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

As I told President Trump directly:

We don’t need it and we don’t want it.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Billionaires like Trump & Musk should be paying their fair share into Social Security—instead of pushing thousands of SSA workers out & making it harder to get your benefits.

There's NO reason Elon should be paying the same amount into Social Security as someone making $160k.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

This is a tragedy. They are destroying generations of progress and risking our health.

Trump and many House Republicans falsely claim the cuts to Medicaid they voted for in the Big Ugly Bill were not actually cuts to Medicaid.

How do you know Trump and House Republicans are lying?

Because GOP Sen Josh Hawley just introduced a bill to reverse the cuts to Medicaid.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

GasBuddy’s @GasBuddyGuy is the best source for debunkings of the president’s frequent lies about two, three, or five unnamed states supposedly having sub-$2 gas prices. AAA’s web page of state averages (https://t.co/DFrI0efj8S), updated daily, is also helpful.

That's 17 MILLION lives Republicans are putting at risk.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

1) Biggest wealth transfer in American history. 2) Kills solar industry, raising prices 3) almost a trillion dollar cut to Medicaid 4) nursing homes shutting down 5) energy shortages 6) 4.5 trillion in NEW DEBT. — I promise you this bill is worse than you think.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Sucking up to the President should not be a requirement for him to do the right thing for the American people.

These are families who’ve lost their homes, their belongings — the irreplaceable pieces of a life built over decades, reduced to ash.

Only a truly disturbed person would threaten to withhold aid from victims because they don’t like someone.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Most people aren't tracking this, but the Big Ugly bill would effectively ban marketplace insurers from covering abortion care in ALL 50 states.

We can't let this stand. Please help spread the word.

Republicans are jamming this bill through—we have to speak up NOW.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state.

We can't let them jam this through in secret.

Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

From de facto to actual state propaganda network status

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Trump math: $1M dinner + lots of kissing up = 1 pardon + erasing a $4.4M penalty.

To Trump, it doesn't matter that Walczak stole millions from the paychecks of nurses and doctors to pay for a yacht. All that matters is how much money his family paid Trump.
