UNEARTHED AUDIO: Earlier this year, Ashley Hinson admitted tariffs raise costs saying they "hurt the American people."

So why is she silent now as those same tariffs are crushing Iowa farmers while Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout? #IASen

Bessent says tariffs aren’t inflationary. Goldman Sachs says Americans are paying 55% of them. If he thinks that’s ‘disjointed,’ he should try buying groceries like the rest of us.

The leaked group chat of Young Republican leadership in Politico yesterday is disgusting, but the long list of elected Republicans who embraced these people with open arms is disturbing.

Don't expect Mike Johnson and House Republicans to care about military families who are worried about not getting their next paycheck, he's too busy using them as pawns in his political games.

Rob Wittman will do ANYTHING but his job during this shut down.

This is what he's chosen to do with this time while thousands of federal workers don't get a paycheck. #VA01

Trump lied when he said foreign countries would pay for his tariffs.

Instead, working families are the ones footing the bill at the grocery store.

And prices will climb even higher when his next round of tariffs hits next month.

Rep. Scott Perry is saying the quiet part out loud, Republicans won’t fund health care because they want to return to the days when insurance companies could label pregnancy a pre-existing condition and deny you health care.

“We want to stabilize the farmers' finances.”

The Trump administration cut USDA programs, ended grants that helped create new local markets, and destroyed trading relationships with massive tariffs.

The crisis in the heartland is entirely their doing.

Trump and the GOP are putting Americans’ health at risk by letting the Hospital at Home program expire.

Patients are losing the care that kept them safe and out of overcrowded hospitals because Republicans refuse to do their job. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Hospital-at-home program collateral damage of the shutdown

The budget stalemate is forcing some hospitals to withdraw from a successful Medicare program that allows seriously ill patients to be treated at home.

“He turned the tables with his two very good tweets on Friday talking about raising tariffs…”

Trump’s tweets crashed the market and tanked retirement accounts.

More tariffs mean Main Street businesses and working families will face higher taxes. That’s nothing to brag about.

Husted has defended DOGE cuts and voted for cuts to the health care programs Ohio families rely on. He’s not a leader – he’s just another rubber stamp for the worst of the GOP agenda. #OHSen www.americanbridgepac.org/jon-husted-b...
