Trump's Republican colleagues are distancing themselves from his affordability crisis. Because of Trump, American families are dealing with higher bills and more uncertainty—and voters are noticing.

Trump doesn’t have to worry about rising bills or a data center in his backyard. So when communities raise concerns about affordability, utility costs, or pollution, his answer is basically: suck it up. www.cnn.com/2026/10/05/us/video/rep…

Kids shouldn’t have to pay the price for Trump’s affordability crisis. But as diesel costs climb, schools are cutting bus routes and trips, leaving families to figure out how to get their kids to school. www.axios.com/2026/10/05/iran-war-d…

We'll look at how Iowa's soaring cancer rates have become a campaign issue ahead of November's midterm elections. Many voters fear that the state's worsening water pollution from nitrates and other chemicals may be to blame for a spike in cases.

Trump is refusing to create guardrails for new data centers while rolling back protections against “forever chemicals” and other pollutants. He’s putting communities at risk just to fuel Big Tech’s expansion and bottom line. The tech boom shouldn’t come at the expense of clean air.
