Trump’s war in Iran is making life more expensive for Americans
Posts by Energy & Commerce Democrats
Trump is demanding $350 billion more to fund his wars abroad.
That’s enough money to restore the enhanced ACA premium tax credits permanently, lowering healthcare costs for 20 million Americans.
But Trump is choosing war over healthcare.
Republicans passed Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill to cut $186 BILLION in food assistance for hungry families, including many here in Massachusetts.
Now, Trump’s war in Iran is making it even harder to put food on the table.
A devastating one-two punch.
Americans are paying the price of Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Because of Republican health cuts, millions could lose access to care and thousands of jobs lost.
Donald Trump’s war in Iran is dramatically raising gas prices. For too many hardworking families here at home, that means working another job, tighter budgets, and less time with loved ones.

Gas prices are soaring over $4 a gallon and what are Republicans doing about it?
Going after California for incentivizing EVs. What a joke.
Republicans’ answer to pay for Trump’s war in Iran?

The president doesn’t care how much money is in your pocket, just that his name is on it. Unbelievable.
And once again Trump’s Big Oil buddies make billions off the backs of Americans…
TrumpRx is nothing but another broken promise.
Trump claims he took prescription drugs from the "highest price in the world to the lowest," but Americans are still paying at least twice as much as patients in other countries for the same drugs.
Trump and Congressional Republicans are breaking every promise they made to the American people – especially their promise to lower the cost of living.
@menendez.house.gov calls them out at today’s hearing.
This is good news in our fight to protect kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
RFK Jr. has been putting our kids’ lives at risk with his anti-vaccine agenda. The fight is not over, but hopefully this court decision forces him to follow the science.
If FCC Chairman Brendan Carr wants to target news outlets for distortion, he should be filing a complaint against Fox News for using old footage of Trump.
Carr's blatant inconsistencies prove his complaints have nothing to do with the public interest--it's all about giving Trump a leg up.

This disappointing jobs survey was taken BEFORE Trump’s war.
Trump cut health care and energy savings for millions of American families, then turned
around and launched a billion $ war in Iran.
He found money for bombs but not for your groceries, electric bills or your doctor's visits!
The Olympic Pipeline leak in Washington State last November caused disruptions during the busy travel season, led to a state emergency declaration, and marked yet another spill in a long list of past incidents.
