Politics should be about the principles that sustain our democracy.
Regardless of party, if you believe in integrity, the Constitution, & the power of shared values you aren’t alone. It’s time to get our country back on track, together.

1yr after Trump’s 4/2/25, Liberation Day, the data is clear: his tariffs triggered a massive spike in the cost of goods. By 12/25, core goods prices rose 2.0%, while durable goods like appliances jumped 2.1%.
