Trump's tariffs and tax cuts are crushing Main Street and making Mar-a-Lago elites rich

Adding more injury to injury, Trump and his MAGA allies just forced the "Big Beautiful Bill Act" through the House of Representatives -- by one vote. Their divisive, financially unhealthy approach boils down to trillions in tax cuts for the ultra-rich, devastating cuts in basic health care and food services, and crippling new debt for us, our kids, and grandkids. Worse yet, right after the bill passed, Trump proudly announced more job-killing, cost-raising tariffs on allies and iPhones.

When he ran for president in 2024, Trump promised us inflation would end "immediately" and that we'd feel prices falling on "Day One." To millions of 2024 swing voters -- a decisive voting bloc in the election -- that was the whole point of choosing him. But now prices are higher, economic growth is declining and life is harder than it was when Trump took the oath of office in January.

Since Inauguration Day, consumer sentiment has plunged to historic lows. Moody's downgraded America's credit rating for the first time in over 100 years.  Ford and Walmart are raising prices because of the tariffs.

Now, instead of making our economy take off like a "rocket ship," as he also promised, Trump is killing it with a sweetheart tax deal for his Mar-A-Lago friends. A president who promised to stand up to the establishment is effectively laundering taxpayers' money to line the silk pockets of his own preferred elites -- to the detriment of middle-class families and American business. 

Special tax giveaways, like a write-off for buying private jets, are paid for with the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, higher health insurance premiums, and gutting food programs for distressed working families. They're putting the rest of the price tag on the nation's credit card, adding trillions to the debt and raising the cost of a house, car, or student loan.

In communities all over the country, the tariff taxes are crushing supply chains and freezing hiring decisions. Port traffic is sporadic, and retailers warn of empty shelves in the stores.

Meanwhile, job-creating, cost-cutting policies like the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act's energy and manufacturing policies are being senselessly undermined -- harming red states and blue states alike.

It all starts with lowering costs by standing up to MAGA, on behalf of Main Street.
