Nearly 10M American kids live below the poverty line. There is a proven fix—the expanded Child Tax Credit, which in 2021 helped cut child poverty nearly in half. But Congress let the expansion expire, and the bill to bring it back has been stalled. #Affordability #CostOfLiving #News #Politics

You can’t fix a problem if you refuse to admit it exists. That’s a major issue with Trump and his allies right now. They deny reality—on gas prices, on the economy, on Iran—and then act like everything is going “great.” It's proof they have no intention of fixing anything.
