Congress is about to approve the largest war budget in human history while millions can’t afford rent, food, or healthcare. Americans are shouting it loud: Healthcare, NOT warfare. If Congress represents the people, the answer is simple: VOTE NO.

The fact that this Admin is so deeply out of touch with the American people has never been more clear. Instead of addressing the needs of working people—housing, healthcare, food—Trump is plunging us into another war in the Middle East. If families can’t afford to pay their mortgage and rent, if people can’t afford to get a higher education, if seniors can’t afford groceries—there is something seriously wrong in this country. Congress must reconvene immediately to vote on our war powers resolution—now!

The Green Party doesn't take money from Wall Street and war profiteers. That's why we can tell it like it is and fight for the millions of people who are struggling to pay for food, rent, healthcare, and debt - while Congress is spending half our money on the endless war machine.

The reason China surpassed the US is simple: China invests in housing, education and healthcare to enrich its people. The US invests in war to enrich its oligarchs. As a result 90% of Chinese people own homes while 70% of Americans struggle to afford housing, food & healthcare.

I’m heading to Washington today to vote NO on a budget that unnecessarily provides tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans, and cuts much-needed healthcare and food programs while blowing the largest hole in the deficit in American history.

Thank you for speaking truth to power in that soulless room… While millions of Americans struggle to afford basic goods, housing, and healthcare, Hegseth is asking Congress for $1,500,000,000,000 for more War.

Millions are on the brink of losing healthcare or facing impossible choices: pay for coverage or afford food, rent, energy. This crisis is because of Trump and the GOP. Democrats are ready to reopen the government and protect healthcare. Via Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester

Underwood: This represents the largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history. The largest cut to food assistance in U.S. history. Literally, they are stealing food out of the mouths of hungry kids to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. It is cruel. It is anti-American. And it is just plain wrong.

The Big Beautiful Bill is classic establishment politics. The explosion of the pentagon budget while kicking millions of working people off their healthcare. Working class people who vote MAGA will remember this. It is not good for the American people.

Healthcare is a human right. Speaker Mike Johnson, the House is ready to vote to extend the ACA subsidies and save healthcare for millions. Let's get it done NOW — no games, no delays.

We have enough Members of Congress ready to vote to save healthcare for millions of Americans. It's unconscionable to make the American people wait until next year. Call the vote, Speaker Mike Johnson.

Bernie Sanders is saying what millions already feel. You don’t campaign on “America First” and then pivot to running another country while people here can’t afford rent, healthcare, or groceries. If 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, the priority isn’t Caracas. It’s Cleveland. It’s Detroit. It’s everywhere families are drowning while Washington plays empire. Fix home before burning money abroad.

Americans are losing healthcare because they can’t afford it, they’re struggling to pay the rent or mortgage, their prescription drugs, and then they look up and see a President focused on grifting not governing.

The American people are making clear that they can’t afford to live. That was before Donald Trump and the Republican Congress caused healthcare premiums to skyrocket. Totally unacceptable.

Every candidate running for Congress should be talking about a public option for Americans to access low-cost healthcare. Sending small checks to Americans or increasing deductibles to 15K are not serious solutions. The public option. Now is the moment.

70% of Americans are struggling to afford housing, healthcare, and groceries, and the President is out here bragging that his friend bought a private jet. This is the cruel reality of capitalism, where the rich can afford planes while the people can’t even afford to live.

Healthcare costs are skyrocketing and working families are already feeling the squeeze. As the ACA tax credits expire in less than 30 days, millions of Americans are preparing for the worst. Republicans must join Democrats in Congress to save healthcare.

Trump’s reckless, unconstitutional attack on Iran launched in the middle of negotiations has already cost civilian lives and pushed the region toward wider war. Congress, not the president, has the power to authorize war. The American people don’t want another trillion-dollar disaster in the Middle East while families here struggle to afford healthcare and housing. Tell Congress: Vote YES on the War Powers Resolution. If you’re in DC, join us at the White House at 2 PM. Wherever you are, take to the streets.

Buttigieg: You’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would rather see the entire government shut down than allow Americans to afford their healthcare. It really comes down to that. Basically, what they’re saying is: we’ll only keep the government open if you Democrats vote against one of your core principles—making sure people can afford healthcare. The problem, of course, is that this president and this Republican Congress are also happy to see the federal government destroyed. They’re giddy about being able to do even more damage in the context of a shutdown. That’s exactly the kind of chaos this president brings every single day—and what I think Americans are more and more fatigued with.

The midterms are coming, and the President is going to own two issues whether he likes it or not: affordability and healthcare. They’re connected, and together they will dominate the entire narrative, because when people can’t afford rent, groceries, insurance, or prescriptions, nothing else matters. Yes, the administration can brag about the market, and they should. The S&P 500 is near all-time highs across all sectors, that’s a real win. But markets don’t vote, people do, and if affordability and healthcare aren’t fixed, that’s where the damage will be done.
