Pay attention to what is actually happening, not just Trump’s theatrics. The outrageous statements often serve as a distraction, so few notice the more “boring” ways they’re dismantling America piece by piece.
U.S. Rep. Scott Perry and 15 other House Republicans have filed a bill to completely repeal the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, President Joe Biden’s health care and clean energy infrastructure law. Repeal of the law would significantly increase costs for millions of American consumers.
