Trump and Mike Johnson call it a tremendous success: We could have extended ACA subsidies, but chose $75 billion for ICE instead!
Because who needs affordable medicine when you can have extrajudicial killings?

They promised to bring manufacturing back. Instead, they made consuming anything—whether it's made here or abroad—more expensive. That's not a jobs plan; it's a family budget demolition plan. #TrumpflationSucks.

One thing is for sure: Republicans won’t be able to run on Trump’s economy in 2026.
But Democrats absolutely should.
📌 Job openings are plummeting. Openings fell to about 8.8 million, the lowest level in roughly three years.

Last week, I had to search for a much less expensive option for this GENERIC drug for Asthma. Look at the price it was at for the first look up. After a full day of search, I found a lower price version but the sticker shock lingers.

Trump's economic plan seems to be raising prices for most of us and cutting health care access so he can help out his billionaire friends....many of whom are sexual predators like him.

The administration is literally taxing your child's new sneakers and notebooks.

Tariffs are showing up on your bill hidden in the price of products that are significantly higher now than they were before tariffs. Imported agricultural machinery cost more. Businesses aren't taking the big hits; they're passing most of the tariffs to customers/consumers.

Trump talks about strong borders, but his policies are creating a crisis on our farms. By decimating the agricultural workforce, the cost of fruits, vegetables, and dairy is shooting up. Your salad is more expensive by design. #TrumpflationSucks for consumers and farmers.

Unemployment is ticking up. And it has everything to do with Trump's misguided, cruel, & lawless policies. He is crushing economic and job growth in so many ways (like tariffs, gutting healthcare, deporting farm and factory workers, and scaring business with heavy handed ICE actions).

Big picture: Unemployment is up half a point over the past year, suggesting that we're falling behind. Not a panic button, but definitely a warning light. Add in falling vacancies, spiking initial claims, and falling quits, and the dashboard is lit like a Christmas tree.
