This Labor Day, instead of enjoying the long weekend, too many Americans are looking for ways to make extra income just to make ends meet.
Why? Because of Trump's failure of an economy.

$5.84 a gallon for diesel is a new all-time high.
Donald Trump and JD Vance own this.
And instead of taking responsibility, they want you to be grateful for it.
It's full-day official: GasBuddy data shows yesterday's full-day official national average price of diesel at $5.848/gal, setting a record, beating $5.819/gal on June 17, 2022.
In their rush to meet arrest quotas ICE cut corners and hired officers without basic vetting leading to the abuses and deaths we’ve seen on our streets.
This is yet another reason ICE needs wholesale reforms to ensure ICE hires don’t put our communities at risk and are held accountable for their actions every step of the way.

In its latest attempt to destroy the integrity of our elections, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow mail-in ballot limits.
American voters will pick their leaders—not Donald Trump.

Rather than making life affordable for American families, Trump has led a full-fledged assault on American education: defunding it, radicalizing its agenda, and dismantling it
Instead of attacking our schools he should be building them up, creating a better education for our students
@SenateDems will keep fighting to ensure that every child has access to a good education

Secretary Hegseth needs to understand that these types of internal checks reflect our values and make the DOD stronger.

I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend Gloria Steinem.
I was fortunate to know her well over the years. Through decades of advocacy, she never stopped fighting for a better, more equal society.
My heart is with her loved ones and everyone she inspired.

Health care costs are expected to skyrocket by 8.2% in 2027. That’s the highest increase for employers in TWO DECADES.
Under Donald Trump and Republicans, the cost of living keeps climbing higher and higher, with no relief in sight.

For 6 months, Americans have been hearing this from Trump.
Gas prices just hit the highest-ever for August, families are begging for relief, and this is the best Trump can do.
Q: Your resumption of strikes on Iran have sent oil prices back up to $95 a barrel--
TRUMP: They'll come down
Q: How long will this renewed campaign go for?
TRUMP: I don't think too long

No need for more renaming bodies of water here. Americans already call this entire fiasco TRUMP’S WAR.
Trump cares more about feeding his ego than helping the American people who are crying out for help. They want lower health care costs, lower gas prices and grocery bills, and for our troops to come home.

As Trump doubles down on his trade war: inflation is raging, families are struggling, small businesses are closing.
@SenateDems have fought Trump's tariffs at every turn, and we will fight to pass the End Trump Tariff Act to finally free Americans from his tariff tax.

A whistleblower is warning of a “catastrophic failure” in our mail-ballot system—all because Trump is turning USPS into a voter suppression machine.
Vote-by-mail is safe and secure. Trump himself voted by mail just last month.
He knows he’s failing the American people, so he’s doing everything he can to rig the midterms.

Breaking News: A whistle-blower at the U.S. Postal Service said Trump officials were defying court orders with a “secretive, rushed” effort affecting voting by mail.
In just one year, Trump’s tariff tax has cost the average family nearly $2,000.
That's why I'm introducing the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act that would end the pain of Trump's costly tariffs—including his latest tariffs on Canada.

This is great to see from Schumer, full unconditional repeal of Trump’s destructive new tariffs on Canada.
NEWS: I'm introducing the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act.
This bill would revoke and refund Trump’s latest barrage of tariffs, and repeal the authorities he's used to continue his senseless trade war.

REMINDER: It was Trump and Republicans who ended ACA tax credits, kicking FIVE million Americans off of their health insurance so far.
Q: Do you think that healthcare prices or gas prices right now are more important for American voters?
Trump: I think everything is important. I would say healthcare is to me very important. You're talking about life. It's it's very big

The MAGA Supreme Court is rubberstamping Trump’s corrupt, gilded ballroom.
Families’ costs are soaring, and Trump’s priorities are clear: his ballroom over your bills.
Democrats are fighting to cut costs. Trump is fighting for himself.

The Supreme Court has allowed President Trump to keep building his White House ballroom, clearing the way for construction crews to continue their nearly round-the-clock work to complete one of the president’s prized projects.

🚨Military leaders are sounding the alarm, warning Pete Hegseth about the long-term damage of extending Trump’s reckless war in Iran.
Stop putting Americans at risk. End the war now.
Exclusive: Several U.S. military leaders have advised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that prolonging large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere, including the U.S. homeland.

Month after month, lie after lie.
The truth? This is another endless Middle East war brought to you by Donald Trump.
We must end this war now.
6 months in, Trump’s disastrous war in Iran has accomplished nothing but the depletion of American stockpiles and the weakening of our military standing.
That’s what I call an abject failure.
