Everyday essentials like gas and groceries are getting more expensive. Trump’s illegal war in Iran has pushed energy prices higher, while the Trump tariffs are squeezing household budgets even more. Families should not have to suffer the consequences of the president’s poor economic policies. It’s time for President Trump to put the needs of American families first and finally focus on bringing costs down.” | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |
