Trump is tearing the government apart—then pointing to the wreckage and saying, “See? The government doesn’t work.”
That’s like setting a house on fire and blaming the house.
We can’t let him get away with it.
On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, I'm thinking about the nearly 3,000 Americans who were killed, the first responders who showed us what true courage looks like, and the families whose lives were forever changed after that day.
We must never, ever forget.
People are struggling with the cost of living. And Trump's policies have made it worse.
Illegal tariffs → higher grocery bills
Failed Iran war → higher gas prices
What happened to Trump’s promise to cut costs on Day 1?
Here's what I think about Trump's pledge to give everyone $5,000 if he wins the midterms:
It's as real as Trump's promise to lower costs on Day 1.
Check the receipts from @Groundwork for the 15 times Trump promised Americans $$$.
Remember the DOGE dividend?
I teamed up again with my daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, and we wrote a book:
The New Middle Class.
It's about how working people can take control of their money and build financial stability—even in an economy rigged for the rich and powerful that we're fighting to fix.
States are about to face an "existential crisis" as the federal government slashes its share of SNAP funding from 50% to 25%.
Families shouldn't have to choose between food and rent. States shouldn't have to choose between SNAP and schools.
Congress must reverse these cuts.
Woo-hoo, congrats to @ChrisPappasNH on his primary win!
Chris will deliver for families across New Hampshire. Now let's take this all the way in November.
4 MILLION people have already lost food aid since the Republican tax package became law.
That includes over 1 MILLION CHILDREN.
In October, states will have to pay 75% of SNAP costs themselves—forcing them to slash the program or raise taxes.
Unconscionably cruel.
I've spent years going after waste: corporate contractors overcharging taxpayers, insurers gaming Medicare, billionaires dodging taxes.
But DOGE wasn't about any of that.
It served the rich and powerful while leaving working Americans worse off.
Workers didn't win weekends, safer workplaces, better wages, or the 40-hour workweek because corporations decided to do the right thing. They won those rights by organizing and fighting together.
This Labor Day, we honor that history and keep fighting for working people.
Want lower gas prices? → End Trump's war in Iran.
Want lower grocery prices? → Stop Trump's illegal tariffs.
Want lower health care costs? → Reverse Trump’s health care cuts.
Trump always finds money for his vanity projects.
Instead of lowering health care costs, he's building himself a ballroom.
Instead of helping families make ends meet, he's courting wealthy donors.
Instead of restoring trust in government, he's trading stock to enrich himself.
Donald Trump is clawing back student debt relief and blaming "errors."
Meanwhile, he’s fired the staff that helps borrowers.
You can't pretend to care about working people while doing this.
Among other agencies, Trump has gutted the Department of Education, weakened food safety protections, and hollowed out the IRS.
The result?
Historic learning loss in our schools.
More food safety crises.
And tax cheats getting away with skirting the bill.
