Americans have spent BILLIONS more on gas and diesel since Trump started his war with Iran. That’s money families can’t spend on groceries, rent, or other everyday essentials.

Trump simply doesn’t care that American families are struggling to pay their bills.
A "myth"? Tell that to our wallets, which are getting absolutely wrecked thanks to Trump.
Trump wants to call the affordability crisis a con job. Try telling that to the families choosing what bills to pay, putting off purchases, or watching their paycheck disappear before the month is even over.
Since taking office, Trump's exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air protections against cancer-causing pollution. 3.3 million people live within 3 miles of these facilities.
Trump’s Iran war is sending OUR prices soaring. Gas costs more, bills keep climbing, and American families are stuck paying the price. Vote this election season to make your voice heard.
We got higher bills, less certainty, and more headaches 👎👎👎
Trump’s pitch to Iowa farmers: Keep paying more for diesel, fertilizer, and equipment, and trust him that cheaper prices are totally coming. Any day now. Probably. Maybe. Trump promised lower prices on Day One. He lied, and farmers are still paying for it.
Trump’s war in Iran is driving up gas prices and making life even more expensive for American families. Voters are living the reality of his failures every time they fill up their tanks or pay their bills.
Trump wants states to shoulder more of the cost when disaster strikes. God forbid people expect their federal government to actually help them when disaster hits 🙄
Trump may not be on the ballot but his destructive agenda sure is.
Americans want billionaires and big corporations to pay their fair share. Trump would rather give them another tax break and call it leadership.
Voters want a say in what gets built in their backyards. Big Tech doesn’t get to just show up and call it progress. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/23102026/pennsylvania-data-centers-congressional-elections/
