Republicans want to cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. That will mean hospitals & clinics closing their doors, moms & babies losing health coverage, seniors cut off from home care services & forced out of long-term care facilities & so much more.

There’s nothing liberating about higher costs. Tariffs don't just punish other countries—they punish Americans by driving up import costs that get passed straight to you. And that means layoffs, lower wages, and higher prices across the board.
