Trump and Republicans found billions of dollars to send to Argentina. But they’re not willing to work to find the money to help people afford their health care premiums, keep hospitals and clinics open, or ensure people can afford groceries.

Don’t tell me that Democrats need to suck up to billionaires to win. Democrats won elections on big policy ideas: universal child care, more affordable housing, reducing utility costs, and lowering health care costs. Affordability — not the billionaire agenda — won across America.

Some political experts will want to dismiss @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win as a New York phenomenon. But in reality: The bold, progressive candidate who campaigned on a real affordability agenda won. And affordability candidates won all across America.

Californians made their voices heard: Republicans' unprecedented mid-year redistricting power grab will not go unanswered. Prop 50 was passed by voters on a ballot — not by a phone call from the President. Now, we've got a more level playing field to ensure fairer midterms.

Double woohoo for Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! His campaign showed that when we fight for bold policies like universal child care that make life more affordable for working families, we can win big.

Congratulations, Governor-elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social — a champion for working families in New Jersey. Her affordability agenda to lower the cost of everything from housing to health care to groceries and take on the utility companies is a righteous fight.

Congratulations to Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com! Abigail Spanberger’s plans to make Virginia more affordable — build more housing, lower energy bills, crack down on PBMs — will make a real difference.

Congratulations on your re-election, Mayor Wu - the best mayor in America. You proved once more that Boston can't be bought and won't be bullied.

Two federal courts have told Trump to pay SNAP benefits. But he’s still threatening to break the law and delay payments. Trump is trying to use hungry children, veterans, and seniors as a political bargaining chip. He wants to force people to go hungry until he gets his way.

Voters across the country have the chance to send a powerful message tonight. Do we want to continue to put power in the hands of billionaires and Trump-backed politicians? Or do we want to elect leaders who will fight to make life more affordable for everyone?

Giant corporations get a massive tax break from Trump. Trump gets donations for his multi-million-dollar ballroom from giant corporations. What do American families get? Price hikes on groceries, electricity, and health care.

Tomorrow is Election Day. With our democracy at stake, your vote is more vital than ever before. If you haven’t made a voting plan yet, head to iwillvote.com.

Health insurance premiums are spiking. SNAP food benefits are delayed. Many federal workers are not getting paid. So what is President Trump's response? A lavish Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party inspired by the song "A little party never killed nobody." It's disgraceful.

While Congressional Republicans shut down the government and refuse to negotiate to make health care more affordable, Trump is illegally revoking funding for programs, unlawfully firing thousands of federal workers, and sending troops to occupy American cities.

I’m saddened to hear about Setti Warren. Massachusetts lost a light today. Setti was a true public servant. I’m thinking of him and his family.

Families are getting notices that their health care premiums will go up by hundreds of dollars a month. Some will be priced out of coverage entirely. Americans across the country are counting on us to lower health care costs. Democrats are fighting for every one of them.

The Trump administration firing nearly all of the Special Education workers at the Department of Education sends a clear message: They don’t believe that children with disabilities deserve an equal education. The cruelty is staggering.

BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge has ordered Trump to follow the law and use the $6 billion emergency fund Congress designated for SNAP. We must ensure Trump follows this order. He was willing to let kids go to bed hungry.

As voters in New York City are casting their ballots, I’m reminded of what can be achieved when we fight to make government work for working people—not just billionaires and giant corporations. I’m proud of the campaign @ZohranKMamdani is running.

Bailey is ready for Halloween! This year, he’s dressed as the person who doesn't cave to big media corporations or the president: Stephen Colbert.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1. But now car repossessions are increasing as Americans struggle to afford rent, groceries, health care, utilities, and auto loans.

We’re in week five of the Republican government shutdown. The number of negotiating sessions that Congressional Republicans have been willing to have? Exactly zero. They would rather shut down the government than help the American people afford health care and food.

Thanks to Trump, 42 MILLION Americans will miss out on food assistance funds starting November 1. Congress has already passed a law that SNAP benefits should not be interrupted. The money is there. Donald Trump is trying to use hungry kids and veterans for political leverage.

It would cost $24 billion to extend the Affordable Care Act’s health care subsidies that help Americans pay for health insurance for the next year. Instead, Donald Trump is bending backwards to give $20 billion in taxpayer money to Argentina. Make it make sense.

The wealthiest 10% of Americans now account for nearly half of all spending—the highest level since 1989. Meanwhile, lower-income Americans face stagnant wages and the rising cost of essentials. So naturally Republicans gave billionaires and corporations trillions in tax breaks.

Our health care system is broken, it’s true. We must fix it. Right now Democrats are asking: At least leave people with the coverage they had. Don't drive up costs for millions of families. Congressional Republicans chose to shut down the government instead.

The American people are begging us to do something about the skyrocketing cost of living. They are crying out for help. But Trump can't hear them over the sound of the bulldozers demolishing the East Wing of the White House to build his brand-new ballroom.

Republicans shut the government down. Air traffic controllers aren’t getting paid. Americans are getting notices that their health care premiums are going up. But Trump's government is helping corrupt Argentinian presidents with a $40 billion bailout.

Trump is pulling every lever he can to abuse his power, seek revenge against his political enemies, and profit from the presidency. It’s corruption, plain and simple.

I've launched an investigation into the contracting and approval process for the demolition of the White House—and whether the corporate donors funding Trump's ballroom are seeking favors with the Administration. The American public deserves answers. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

7 things the Trump administration could do instead of sending money to Argentina: - Lower health insurance premiums - Restore family food assistance - Cancel student debt - Fund public media - Restore USAID - Fund military child care for 20 years - Fund the CFPB for 50 years

Rents are up nearly 4% — the largest increase since 2011. Natural gas prices are up 14%. The cost of meat, fish, and eggs is up over 5%. And now some families will see their health insurance premiums go up by $22,000 a year. This is Trump’s economy.

Trump thinks he is a king that can decide how every nickel in the U.S. budget is spent. That’s not what the Constitution says. If Congressional Republicans would grow a spine, we could stop this right now, get the government reopened, and get federal employees paid.

Trump said he’d make IVF available to every family for free. Instead, he cuts Americans’ health insurance, guts the Centers for Disease Control’s IVF team, then asks companies to add IVF coverage out of the goodness of their hearts. Another broken promise.

If Congress does not act, nearly 22 million Americans will see their health insurance premiums more than DOUBLE on average. Democrats want to lower those costs. Republicans shut down the entire government instead of coming to the table to prevent this crisis.

The White House has the latest data on jobs in the United States, but they refuse to release it. Businesses rely on this data. Experts who assess our economy rely on this data. The Federal Reserve relies on this data to decide interest rates. Is Trump trying to hide something?

Standing up to a wannabe dictator is patriotic. Protecting health care for Americans is patriotic. Defending workers who make our country run is patriotic. Saying no to troops occupying our cities is patriotic. Peacefully protesting to protect our democracy is patriotic.

Trump is illegally firing federal workers—including special education staff at the Department of Education. He’s taking away opportunities for our kids to succeed in the classroom. That’s a form of cruelty no leader should impose on the people he supposedly represents.

Trump and Congressional Republicans are taking our barely functioning health care system and smashing it apart—ultimately hurting everybody in this country. Democrats just want people to have the same health care coverage they had before Republicans passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

Trump won’t pay for health care, education, or a federal government budget. But Trump will build a brand new $200 million ballroom for himself and his donors. It’s clear what Trump’s priorities are—and the American people are not on that list.

Donald Trump's approval rating is terrible. People are angry with the cost of living, hate his chaotic tariffs, and disagree with shutting down the government to make health care costs higher. That's why the GOP is trying to redraw Congressional maps. We must push back.

Congressional Republicans would rather keep the government shutdown than roll back cuts that will knock 15 million people off their health care and increase insurance premiums for millions more families. They are showing you what their priorities are.

Trump has tried again and again to shut down the parts of government he doesn’t like. While Senate Republicans keep taking orders from their wannabe king and drag out their government shutdown, Democrats will not stop fighting to save health care and lower costs for families.

This is not a partisan issue. Democrats are in this health care fight for all Americans. We urge Congressional Republicans to join us to protect coverage for millions of Americans and end this government shutdown.

Thanks to Congressional Republicans, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 a year will pay more than $22,000 EVERY YEAR to keep their health insurance. $22,000. Some families will decide between keeping health insurance or giving it up—and that could be a matter of life or death.

Your health insurance premiums could double or even triple thanks to Republican health care cuts. But instead of helping American families facing double costs, Trump plans to DOUBLE his bailout for Argentina. Whatever happened to “America First”?

Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs for every American. Where are Republicans? Republican Speaker Johnson has sent House members home rather than work toward a solution. And Senate Republicans refuse to negotiate restoring health care funding and opening the government with us.

The fight is to save health care for 15 million Americans. The fight is to lower your insurance costs. The fight is to say: Congressional Republicans cannot take affordable health care away so they can give tax breaks to a handful of billionaires.

Trump said that he would lower costs on day one. Instead, the cost of groceries, utilities, and housing are all up, thanks to chaotic Republican tariffs and tax cuts for billionaires. The cost of health care will shoot through the roof next. We must stop this crisis.

An overwhelming majority of Americans want Congress to restore health care funding so insurance premiums don’t go through the roof. Senate Republicans have refused to sit down with Democrats—even though thousands of their constituents will see their costs go up.
