Trump promised to lower healthcare costs for years and delivered absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, Democratic governors are actually capping insulin at $35 and taking on greedy insurance companies. We need leaders who work for us, not the billionaires. #WeCantAffordTrump dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-brand…

Trump speaking on HIS Iran War Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT? America, #WeCantAffordTrump Let's make him pay this November!

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.” Must be nice. Some of us think about it every single time we buy groceries. Every time we refill a prescription. Every time we swipe a debit card praying it clears. #WeCantAffordTrump

Hey Republicans, you were told exactly who Trump was. TWO TIMES—folks still lined up like it was Black Friday at Walmart and handed him the keys. You weren’t part of the team. You were the equipment. Americans aren’t first. WE’ VE ALWAY’S BEEN LAST. #WeCantAffordTrump

@NickKnudsenUS I care for my sick mother. I live with cancer. I manage groceries, bills, prescriptions, cooking, cleaning, and somehow I’m still supposed to absorb rising costs quietly? #WeCantAffordTrump

MAHA? Make America Healthy Again? Beef up 14%. Fruit & veggies up 6.5%. Groceries just had their WORST month in 4 years. You can’t eat healthy when you can’t afford food. Trump’s war. Trump’s prices. Our pain. #WeCantAffordTrump

Trump promised you a better life. Real people on camera couldn’t name one single way he delivered. “F*ck no.” “Not at all.” “Everything is worse.” Not. One. Yes. 😡 #WeCantAffordTrump

@olivier_patti Millions of Americans are about to lose healthcare coverage because Congress let ACA tax credits die. Families will skip doctors. Prescriptions. Cancer screenings. And Trump’s “better plan” still doesn’t exist. 😔 #WeCantAffordTrump

@_StevenRMartin These people piss into golden toilets. They don't care if gas costs $30 a gallon; they can afford it.

Inflation is running wild in America and the jobs market is falling apart. This is going to be Donald Trump's legacy forever. His war in Iran. His tariffs. His failure. #WeCantAffordTrump If there's one single chart about America's economy under Donald Trump's war and tariffs regime, it's this one. April's producer price Index (PPI) inflation came back 6% higher from last year. Wholesale prices rose 1.4% in a single month. The only time it was higher was just after Putin invaded Ukraine, disrupting the oil and fertilizer markets globally in March 2022. The conditions which caused the 2022 inflation spike, included Covid and supply chain inflation. Trump did a horrible job with Covid, but he completely owns his tariffs and his war against Iran. So what does this all mean? The companies to make the stuff that we live on experienced a 16.8% annualized rate of inflation last month on their inputs for making those things. This is bad. Major price increases, very suddenly. This is the kind of inflationary signal that would normally cause the federal reserve bank to consider an emergency interest rate increase. Trump's Republican allies in the Senate just confirmed Kevin Warsh as the new chair of the Federal Reserve Bank. He starts on Friday. Mr. Warsh has said that despite most of the committee believing rate increases are in our future, he thinks that we should be cutting rates as prices keep rising. For those who don't know, when the central bank cuts, interest rate rates, that can cause price inflation, and when it raises them, it will general lower the increase of prices. The Fed has a job of keeping price stability which it determines as a roughly 2% inflation rate, and keeping full employment. Raise the rates, employment fall. Lower the rates, employment rises. This is a Grosse Opper simplification, but I'm just explaining the lever at the hand of Donald Trump's new appointee. One wrong move, and we go from bad inflation to "Oh My God inflation." Venezuela experienced hyper inflation after their government began behaving irresponsibly with its money supply.

@mjfree Trump says he only thinks about one thing. Working families don’t have that luxury. We have to think about rent, gas, food, debt, and survival every single day. #WeCantAffordTrump

🚨PRICES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH Groceries. Gas. Utilities. Housing. Americans are getting crushed. WARREN: “The American People want to see a government on their side… instead Donald Trump… is milking the U.S. like it’s a cow.” #WeCantAffordTrump
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism

🚨EXPLOSIVE: Elizabeth Warren just TORCHED Trump’s children Don Jr. and Eric for “milking the United States like it’s a cow” while Americans struggle to survive. “Go get a job, you know, that your dad hasn’t put together for you.” “They are taking all of the cream.” DAMN.
