Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and families should be celebrating. Instead, they’re struggling with sky high prices. It’s time for the Trump Administration to get serious about tackling the cost of living and help families make ends meet this holiday season.

Not only has Donald Trump waged a war no one asked for—it’s a war no one wants.
