Trump’s tariffs will add around $5,000 to the average family’s grocery bills.
That's nearly 5x more than the tax cut the average family would get from the Republican budget.
And that doesn't even factor in the fact that a lot of those families will lose healthcare.

This isn’t “law enforcement.”
This is state violence.
