Despite skyrocketing costs and a Supreme Court decision, Trump is pulling every lever he can find to enact more tariffs and price hikes. Now, half the country is suing his administration to stop him from driving costs even higher.

Thinks that families shouldn't sacrifice their health care for billionaire tax breaks
Families already have enough on their plate dealing with Trump’s price hikes, his health care cuts, and his war in Iran. Instead of relief, this Administration is stooping to use the programs designed to uplift families and keep them together.

Republicans had the opportunity to stand up for taxpayers. Instead, they caved. They're handing Trump’s personal lawyer the Justice Department and refusing to end his lifetime IRS audit protection. That's corruption, plain and simple.
Republicans kicked 8 million people off health care. Now we're seeing the consequences of their actions in real time.
Republicans created this health care crisis. Don't look to them to lower your costs or put health care back in reach. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
Trump’s illegal tariffs and unauthorized war come only at your expense.
As your costs grow, so does Trump’s portfolio. That's not serving the American people. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
Every day, this Administration unlocks new levels of corruption never thought possible. At a time when families are struggling to stay afloat, they’re being denied jobs and opportunities by their president because of their political views.
Medicare & Medicaid reflect our belief that everyone deserves dignity & security. 61 years later, Republicans are moving us in the opposite direction. After making the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, they're not satisfied & are finding new ways to hike costs and shut down more hospitals.
History will remember Trump for higher costs and having no desire to lower them.
Since Trump took office, the average family has had to spend over $3,500 just to afford the basics.
Laying off a third of the IRS workforce was never about cutting waste. It was sabotage. Now phones go unanswered, problems go unsolved, and fraud goes unchecked while Trump and Republicans refuse to acknowledge the consequences, hoping you'll simply accept them.
The IRS is imploding.
The CEO says the agency is proving it's possible to have “less people and better results.”

Your food isn't just more expensive, it's also less safe. Under Trump, FDA staffing is down 20%, and the CDC has lost 25% of its workforce. This is not a coincidence.
🔴 Millions have already been kick off their health care 🔴 Prices continue to soar 🔴 Jobs are evaporating And nothing in the GOP's agenda will clean up the mess they've made. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
Today, we celebrate another year of the oldest Committee in Congress. Where we spend our money shows what we value as a nation—and @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social is where those priorities take shape. As we celebrate 237 years, its jurisdiction demands nothing less than the best for the American people.
With $95 billion, Republicans could’ve instead made health care cheaper for millions of Americans. Budgets are a reflection of priorities.
Republican policies are fueling the largest resurgence of measles cases while they force the largest loss of health care in American history.

Every day Republicans refuse to stand up to Trump is another day your costs go up.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2w agoThe Trump administration announced it will set tariffs on over 80 countries on Friday, a new effort to uphold a policy that courts have repeatedly invalidated. More duties are likely to be on the way in the coming weeks.
Republicans face a choice this week: keep funding an endless war that Americans do not support or lower your costs. Guess what they'll choose. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
"This bill lowers not a single cost nor lifts a single wage." @doggett.house.gov:
Republicans are spending their last legislative days in DC this month doing anything but bring prices down. @chu.house.gov:
Republicans passed their One Big Beautiful Bill over a year ago and decided their work was done. Millions were kicked off health care & millions more are struggling to afford a tank of gas or groceries. This is all Republicans have to offer to the American people. @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social:
Republicans are about to leave DC for a month. And they're spending their last week ignoring the number one issue on Americans' minds: rising costs. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
Every extra dollar you pay at the pump is a result of the choices Trump continues to make. Your savings are not his concern.
If there were ever a proof point that this president doesn’t need more tariff authority, it’s this.
CNN@cnn.com · 2w agoPresident Donald Trump is invoking a 1930 trade law to impose whopping 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods. The move threatens a broader trade war with the United States’ second-top trading partner. https://cnn.it/4fuzj2k
When you're back at the pump paying more for gas, remember what Trump said:
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2w agoBREAKING: U.S. gas prices have jumped to an average of $4 a gallon again as the U.S. and Iran launch more attacks.
Trump has forced people to spend nearly $60 billion more at the pump since the start of the war he started and has failed to get out of. What else could you have spent an extra $477 on?
This week, a longtime Republican operative was forced out after objecting to political interference in IRS audits and advising this Administration to not break the law. This is what corruption is: firing anyone who stands in their way.

We know the president is laying the ground to steal an election, but a Republican stalwart was just forced out of the IRS after objecting to political interference in IRS audits. There is no part of the government they won't weaponize for their own gain.
