Despite all your hard work, Trump does not care how much you’re struggling. In fact, he loves it.

Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains. Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year. Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class

Trump says he “loves inflation.” Sacramentans do not. My constituents are paying more for rent, utilities, and groceries because of Trump's reckless tariffs and war with Iran. But this is exactly what Trump’s economy is meant to deliver — higher costs for hard-working

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

“I love inflation!” said nobody ever. Until today… in the White House.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill cut more than $1 trillion from Americans’ health care, but that didn’t go far enough for them. Now Republicans are plotting the next round of cuts to take health care away from more people.

Prices are out of control, but Trump says "I love the inflation."

First, it was a TRILLION dollars in cuts to SNAP and Medicare. Now, Republicans are targeting Social Security and Medicaid. The goal is the same: Tax breaks for billionaires paid for by cuts to the programs that Americans pay into over their careers and need when they retire.

Everyone deserves affordable healthcare, lower grocery prices, and economic stability. Instead, Republicans are pushing a budget that funds cruelty over community. Our tax dollars should make life more affordable, not fund chaos and line Trump’s pockets.

There is not a dollar in the Republican budget bill to lower Americans’ cost of living. Families can’t afford groceries, gas, or a trip to the doctor, but Republicans are using your tax dollars to give ICE another $70 billion blank check and letting Trump keep his $1.8 billion

The negotiations happening now could have happened w/o a war. Indeed, they’re probably harder now. All Trump’s bombs achieved was to make gas more expensive.

Glad to talk with Craig Cohen on Houston Matters about what I see happening in Washington right now: the Republican-controlled Congress rubber-stamping terrible policies and now, potentially, a $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund for the President. This is not how it is

From higher gas prices to higher energy bills, American families simply can’t afford President Trump’s reckless war in Iran. I can think of a lot of better ways to spend $100 billion that would make life easier and more affordable for Americans, not harder and less affordable.

$100 billion. That’s our estimate of the cost of the Iran War to American households. That’s nearly $750 per household. This includes the additional U.S. military costs and the higher energy and other prices resulting from the war. This is a big economic blow, but
