The Trump Administration’s across-the-board tariffs will drive up the cost of everything from food and appliances to housing. Instead of hurting consumers, small businesses, and farmers, we need real solutions to lower costs.

Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why.

How has Trump responded?

By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.
