This would have put money back in Americans’ pockets. Not anymore.

When my hometown of Sumter, SC is mentioned, I need to set the record straight.
1. That plant was initiated under Biden, not Trump.
2. It's tied to EVs, which Trump calls a hoax.
3. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will kill thousands of EV jobs.
Facts matter.

Yes, there is a split screen.
Democrats who are fighting to lower health care costs.
And Republicans who refuse to do anything to address costs, and are in fact kicking millions of Americans off their health care.
The contrast really couldn’t be clearer.

Trump put tariffs on things not grown in the U.S. (coffee, bananas, etc.), causing prices to go up.
Then they turn around and remove the tariffs and claim they are lowering prices.

That means SNAP funds will be delayed further.

A judge ordered the Trump administration to pay full SNAP benefits for November by today.
They’re appealing.
Yes, that’s right: instead of accepting this judge’s order to feed Americans, Trump is asking other judges for permission to let them go hungry.

This government shutdown is about 20 million Americans being faced with huge monthly premium increases or losing health care entirely.

The only major thing they’ve accomplished is Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” which kicks 10 million Americans off their health care, strips food assistance from millions more, and hands $1T in tax cuts to the top 1%.
