Trump secured a second term in part by promising to lower costs for families and rein in inflation. But, not even three months into this administration, his policies have done exactly the opposite.

Market volatility we're seeing isn't just numbers on a screen, it's real retirement accounts, college savings, & financial security for millions. When billionaires like Musk & Trump push policies that favor short-term gains for the few over long-term stability for all, Main St pays the price.

Musk & Trump policies focusing on deregulation and tax advantages for the ultra-wealthy are creating market uncertainty that hurts everyday investors. Americans deserve an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the very top.

I'm absolutely disgusted by Musk's decision to dismantle the Institute of Peace. This isn't disruption—it's destruction. Peace isn't obsolete technology to be discarded. His callous disregard for conflict prevention work will cost lives. Unforgivable.
