Across the board, as more data comes in, it’s becoming distressingly clear. House Republicans and Trump’s reckless policies are severely weakening the nation’s job market. We need leaders fighting to grow the economy, not hurt workers.

Appreciate Lawrence O'Donnell for having me on last night! The contrast is clear. Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs for working families - Trump & Republicans are plotting to hurt Americans. GOP needs to come to the table to negotiate a bipartisan deal.

Here is the big difference between House Democrats and Congressional Republicans today. Democrats are fighting to protect affordable health care for the American people, Republicans are plotting to hurt people.

No matter how much Republicans try to spin it, the American people know and are feeling firsthand the impacts of the GOP’s disastrous policies at the grocery store and in their pocketbook.

Another discouraging sign of how Trump and Republicans’ reckless policies are hurting America’s workers.

In addition to causing millions of Americans health care costs to skyrocket, Republicans - by refusing to negotiate - are also threatening telehealth services for millions of seniors. Democrats stand ready to get to work - why won’t Republicans.

Worth a watch. Another broken promise by Republicans, and how it’s hurting American families across the country. It’s time for sensible policy that helps working people, not the wealthiest few.

Grocery prices continue to soar, causing major stress for Americans

Across the country, there's been no relief as food costs keep rising. A recent Associated Press poll shows more than half of Americans consider grocery costs to be a major source of stress. Find out…

Disappointing that Republicans are so focused on assigning political blame, but refuse to come back to DC to get to work to avert the health care crisis they created. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

Thanks to David Chalian for having me on to talk about how Democrats are fighting to protect affordable health care - despite GOP refusals to come to the table and get a deal done.

Terribly frustrating and frankly, unnecessary stories about the real-life consequences of Republicans' reckless attacks on Social Security.

Suzan DelBene @suzandelbene.bsky.social · 17d

Another cruel consequence of House Republicans’ disastrous agenda. As grocery prices rise, more families will struggle with hunger because of their Big, Ugly Law.

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of our Constitution. Make no mistake, Trump is waging a war on the 1st Amendment, part of an unprecedented assault on our democracy. Government censorship and extortion have no place here, and FCC Chair Carr should resign immediately.

Honored to welcome Leader Hakeem Jeffries to the better Washington yesterday.

As he said, we're going to:
press on for freedom,
press on for democracy, and
press on and win the House in 2026 and stop this lawless administration in their tracks!

Abysmal jobs report today. House Republicans and Trump are wrecking the economy and America’s workers are hurting because of it. It’s time for a House that puts working people first, not the ultra-wealthy.

Terrible to see the incredibly harmful impacts sweeping tariffs are having on some of our most iconic American manufacturers and hardworking families.

Another. Broken. Promise.

Trump vowed to halve electricity prices. But they’re rising twice as fast as inflation | CNN Business

On the campaign trail last summer, President Donald Trump promised to swiftly cut electricity and energy prices in half if voters returned him to the White House.

Let’s all be honest about why Trump wants this. He doesn’t want YOU to vote. What’s more, he’s openly calling to disenfranchise the votes of our active duty men and women serving overseas. We can’t - and won’t - let this happen.

One of the consequences of House Republicans’ focus on tax breaks for the wealthiest few - they receive all the benefits while working families remain stuck, struggling, and left behind.

Suzan DelBene @suzandelbene.bsky.social · Aug 14

The latest sign that sweeping tariffs are a de facto tax on Americans, and how Republicans’ failed agenda is raising costs.

Republican tariffs are making many of the everyday things families depend on more expensive. At an annual cost of $2,400 more per family, by one estimate. Another. Broken. Promise.

Suzan DelBene @suzandelbene.bsky.social · Aug 5

All across the country, Americans are getting squeezed by higher prices. House Republicans refuse to do anything to provide relief, instead pushing policy that helps the wealthiest few while leaving everyone with the (more expensive) bill.

Another Republican broken promise. Their dangerous policies are harming American industry and costing us manufacturing jobs.

Suzan DelBene @suzandelbene.bsky.social · Aug 1

Today’s jobs report is a wake-up call. Republicans’ failed policies and reckless tariffs are stifling the job market, raising costs, and hurting American families.

Suzan DelBene @suzandelbene.bsky.social · Jul 31

Another broken promise by Republicans. Don’t believe their spin. Tariffs are a tax on Americans, and prices are rising because of their reckless agenda.
