Health care coverage losses are worse than feared, with middle class families hit hardest.  Five million people are on track to lose their health care this year.  This is Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" in practice. thehill.com/policy/healthcar…

Things Donald Trump loves: supersizing meals, islands in the Caribbean, and now higher inflation.  I talk to workers all the time, and they do not love inflation and higher costs eating into their paychecks. Americans are working too hard to have a president be so flippant about the economy.

You're paying more because the guy who “loves inflation” forced us into an illegal, forever war.

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Donald Trump has never bought his own groceries or filled up his own tank. Of course he “loves inflation.”

The numbers are in. Inflation at a 3-year high. Gas up 40%. Food up. Rent up. Billions sent to a war in Iran instead of lowering costs for our families. That is the wrong priority. I am calling on this administration to end it now.

Americans don’t love inflation because it means higher costs.

Donald “no new wars” Trump missed his own memo and now Americans are suffering outrageous price hikes all for a reckless war in Iran no one wants. It’s almost like the unhinged pseudo-celebrity con man who’s declared bankruptcy six times doesn’t know wtf he’s doing.

Despite all your hard work, Trump does not care how much you’re struggling. In fact, he loves it.
Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains. Inflation: 4.2% in May for the past year Wage growth: 3.4% in May for the past year. Americans are getting squeezed financially. This isn't just "bad vibes" about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.

Trump says he “loves inflation.” Sacramentans do not.   My constituents are paying more for rent, utilities, and groceries because of Trump's reckless tariffs and war with Iran.    But this is exactly what Trump’s economy is meant to deliver — higher costs for hard-working families already stretched too thin.

“I love inflation!” said nobody ever. Until today… in the White House.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill cut more than $1 trillion from Americans’ health care, but that didn’t go far enough for them. Now Republicans are plotting the next round of cuts to take health care away from more people.

First, it was a TRILLION dollars in cuts to SNAP and Medicare. Now, Republicans are targeting Social Security and Medicaid.   The goal is the same: Tax breaks for billionaires paid for by cuts to the programs that Americans pay into over their careers and need when they retire.

Everyone deserves affordable healthcare, lower grocery prices, and economic stability. Instead, Republicans are pushing a budget that funds cruelty over community. Our tax dollars should make life more affordable, not fund chaos and line Trump’s pockets.

There is not a dollar in the Republican budget bill to lower Americans’ cost of living.    Families can’t afford groceries, gas, or a trip to the doctor, but Republicans are using your tax dollars to give ICE another $70 billion blank check and letting Trump keep his $1.8 billion slush fund to reward his friends and violent insurrectionists.

The negotiations happening now could have happened w/o a war. Indeed, they’re probably harder now. All Trump’s bombs achieved was to make gas more expensive.

Glad to talk with Craig Cohen on Houston Matters about what I see happening in Washington right now: the Republican-controlled Congress rubber-stamping terrible policies and now, potentially, a $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund for the President. This is not how it is supposed to work.
