🚨 Maine’s House Speaker Ryan Fecteau SLAMS the Trump-GOP health care agenda: “They want people to think that these programs do not work… so they can come back later and take them away entirely. That’s the goal.” Maine premiums rose an average of 77% this year.

It’s official: Trump’s tariffs are why your everyday goods cost more. 🧾 A new report from the NY Federal Reserve found that inflation on 67 kinds of everyday goods was entirely due to Trump’s tariffs. Without them, those prices would have gone down. Trump’s tariffs. Your bill.

"Like he's just lying." "What he promised isn't happening." Since January: gas up 83% in Oklahoma. Diesel at record highs in three states. Mortgages at 7.28%, the highest in nearly three years. 20 months. Every lever of government. And the people who believed Trump are the ones paying the price.

There's a farm crisis building in Iowa, and it traces to two decisions. Trump's tariffs scrambled the market and blew up trade with Canada — which buys roughly 30% of Iowa's exports. Then his war in Iran sent diesel up nearly 80%. Farms run on diesel.

CNBC: 30-year mortgage rates reached new highs here of the cycle. We’re above 7%. We’ve seen mortgage applications come down for another week. The housing market continues to struggle, and affordability is really the main problem, with higher prices and higher rates. It’s a really bad combination.

In Schnecksville, PA, Trump said he’d drive energy prices “so low” that everything else would fall too — even food prices he claimed had gone up “double and triple and quadruple.” Then he promised he’d “get it way down.” Big promises come easy. Real results don’t.
