CAP's affordability agenda would save families $4,133 per year across housing, health care, utility bills, and groceries. Americans need financial relief today, not in the far-off future.

Wealthy Americans use labyrinths of pass-through businesses to outfox the IRS and avoid paying taxes. A shell company tax would restore fairness to the system, argues CAP's @CoreyHusak for @DemJournal: tinyurl.com/5wtsutj5

ALT With fuel prices once again approaching highs not seen since the 2022 spike caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, many Americans are already adjusting their gasoline consumption—all thanks to Trump's reckless war in Iran.

American communities are living with the consequences of the Trump administration's immigration policies. Instead of ending these actions, congressional Republicans just issued another multibillion dollar, taxpayer-funded blank check to ICE—on top of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act slush fund.

First, it was "I don't think about Americans' financial situation."
Now it's "I love the inflation."
Trump doesn't care that working families are drowning while he and his billionaire friends are getting richer by the day.

Donald Trump kicked 3.5 million people off SNAP suggesting we can't afford it, but a new ballroom and $50 billion war in Iran? No problem.

Americans are losing their homes
Parents are working multiple jobs to feed their kids
Workers are walking to work because they can’t afford gas
Trump’s response? “The numbers are great… I love the inflation.”
Sickening.

While gas, grocery, and housing costs surge, Trump is signing another $70 billion giveaway to masked ICE agents – without any meaningful guardrails.
We need action to lower costs, not tens of billions for ICE.

We are over 100 days into Trump's war with Iran, and this is where we're at:
⚫ A helicopter with troops in it was downed
⚫ Iranian bombs are heading to U.S. bases
⚫ Inflation is spiking
⚫ A deal doesn’t look around the corner
This is a disaster, and we need to end this war.
