With truckers spending as much as $1,400 a tank, you’re picking up part of that tab at the checkout counter. Trump’s war means you pay more.

Trump is planning to use IRS data to cut off loan access to students who want to become: - Teaching assistants - Social workers - Faith-based organization staff - Music instructors - Hairstylists - and more This isn’t doing anything to make it easier to afford to live or work in America.

Notice that under Republicans, there's always enough tax dollars to go around for Trump's vanity, but never enough to lower your bills. Your tax dollars should be used to fund things that serve you, not Trump.

People are buckling under Trump's tariffs & here's what they're saying about it: 🔴 74% say Trump’s tariffs raised prices at the store. 🔴 57% view tariffs as a tax. 🔴 53% say Trump’s tariffs weakened the economy. 🔴 49% say Trump’s tariffs harmed manufacturing. People don’t want Trump's tariffs.

When RFK Jr.’s security bill ballooned to $17 million, he didn’t hesitate to take $12 million from the Minority Health Office. That’s millions of dollars no longer going to improve the lives of millions in underserved communities.

Social Security Commissioner Bisignano told Congress he has “the right amount of staff.” Meanwhile, field offices are described as “ghost offices” & record-low morale has created the worst staffing crisis in SSA’s history. His failure to respond after 3 months leaves serious questions unanswered.

When 1 in 3 insured Americans is buried in medical debt, Republicans continue to stand behind their more than $1 trillion in health care cuts. You shouldn’t have to go into debt just so billionaires can get another tax break.

Republicans have given you higher premiums, higher costs, and left less money in your wallet. Whether you get your insurance through your employer or through the ACA Marketplace, you’re paying more because of Republicans.

This bill could give Trump the power to raise your household costs by more than $8,000. Handing Trump more tariff authority would mean more power for him and less money for you.

What would you do if your household costs went up by over $8,000? That’s what this bill gives Trump the power to do and it's the last thing the American people need right now.

If this sanctions bill passes, $6.2B worth of imports into Massachusetts could face tariffs as high as 100%. That means higher costs at the grocery store, gas station, & everywhere in between. Massachusetts already faced an estimated $3.7B tariff tab. This is the last thing families need.

Where Trump's tariffs hit Massachusetts the hardest

States bear wildly different burdens from President Trump's $342 billion in tariffs.

Trump is taking his war on child care one step further, making it even harder for parents to find child care while keeping their jobs. Further stretching limited resources will only lead to higher costs and more uncertainty for parents all while threatening generations of economic progress.

$3,800. That’s how much the average U.S. household has already spent on nearly everything since Trump took office. The last thing the American people need is another bill giving Trump even more tariff power. And that's exactly what this bill would do.

Trump just delivered the most expensive Labor Day ever at the pump. His war in Iran has cost you more than $1,200 on everything from gas, to flights, to your backyard spread – all while House Republicans sit on their hands and cancel work for themselves.

For Republicans, there’s never a problem giving those at the top every advantage money can buy. But when it comes to everyone else, they’ll go out of their way to kick the ladder out. Democrats won't stop fighting until these racist attacks are put to a stop once and for all.

Over 6 months into Trump’s war and the average household has spent over $1,200 more on everything from gas to groceries. Republicans aren’t worried about lowering costs. They’re following Trump’s orders and handing over an additional $73 billion to keep the war raging and prices sky-high.

Trump has no trouble finding time to trade stocks, turn allies against the United States, drive up your costs, rename bodies of water, and build a ballroom. But when it comes to lowering your costs? He’s booked and busy. No wonder people are fed up.

Trump’s 4 to 5 week “conflict” has grown into a 6 month war, costing each household across the country over $1,200 in higher costs, and with no end in sight. The longer his war drags on, the less you’ll have in your wallet.
