Remember when Donald Trump promised cheaper food, 50% lower energy bills, and that he’d “end inflation”?

A PA nurse is sounding the alarm. Medicaid keeps our hospitals alive — cut it, and ERs collapse. Fewer beds. Fewer doctors. Longer waits. More loss.
“These cuts will destroy our health care system.”

“Families are getting hit with a wrecking ball.” — Sen. @wyden.senate.gov
Republicans haven’t held a single health care hearing in 400 days while costs explode.

CNN reporter: Trump's tariffs are adding on average almost $9,000 of the cost of building an average home. Homebuilders might not have to eat all of that—but still it's not going to help.

CNBC reporter on Trump's tariffs: It’s ugly. We actually got hit with a quintuple tariff today. The first is a 10% tariff on timber and a 25% tariff on kitchen cabinets and furniture. This is going to be inflationary—for consumers and home builders.
