The Administration's tariff policy is raising the cost of groceries, including your favorite pasta and spaghetti. Congress must take back its authority over tariffs to bring down costs for working families.

This Administration and the Majority in Congress has cut billions in Medicaid, and many hospitals across the country will be unable to service those most in need. That’s why I am committed to fighting in Congress to reverse the cuts and to protect healthcare for working families.
When the G.O.P. Medicaid Cuts Arrive, These Hospitals Will Be Hit Hardest
Republicans created a special $50 billion fund to help rural hospitals stay afloat, but the biggest impacts may be in cities.

Thanksgiving is around the corner, but Trump’s cuts & tariffs are driving up prices for holiday staples and groceries across the board.

Republicans are cutting taxes for the rich at the same time that they’re rewarding corporations for sending jobs overseas.
They only care about their billionaire and CEO donors. It’s that simple.

Republicans have spent the last decade and a half working to defund & repeal affordable health care, yet in all that time, they’ve never had a solution to replace these programs with something better. That needs to end.
The American people deserve action to bring down costs now.

The safest bet in Washington is that so-called "moderate" Republicans will always fold to Trump.
They never stand up to him when it counts.
This summer, he asked them to support the biggest health care cuts in American history, and they passed it with glee.

The Big Bad Betrayal Bill will cost $3.4 TRILLION over the next ten years. Extending ACA tax credits would cost $350 billion over ten years — a fraction of the cost.
Republicans would rather give tax breaks to billionaires than make health care affordable for American families.
