This week in the Trump Slump, we have: polling ‼️ economic Indicators ‼️ and expert commentary ‼️ all saying the same thing:
President Trump’s policies are tanking the economy, and the American people know this is a manmade crisis.
It’s hard to fathom just how much a trillion dollars is. But what this means in reality:
🏥 Worse health care for kids & people with disabilities
🍼 More kids going hungry
💲 More students overwhelmed by their debt for years after graduation
Why? So billionaires get richer.
The House Republican budget would slash:
🏥Medicaid
🍎Nutrition assistance
💡Energy programs
At a time when working families are struggling to cover their:
🥚grocery bills
🚑health care costs
💡utility bills
This is not leadership - it’s economic sabotage.
Trump has even lost the Wall Street Journal.
“These Make America Great Again-themed provisions aren’t great economics. They violate the principle that people in similar financial circumstances should be taxed similarly.”
.@jeffsommer of the @nytimes not mincing words:
“The on-again-off-again Trump tariffs on goods have already caused an abundance of mayhem around the world.”
“Impose tariffs on services, too, and the world would enter a new and dismal stage of economic conflict.”
Damning words in @impamodel's new report:
"A policy that performs poorly on efficiency, equity, and fiscal grounds offers little justification for its continuation."
The House reconciliation bill would extend—and raise to 23%—the QBI deduction. IMPA’s analysis finds no economic justification: no impact on investment or growth, substantial revenue loss, and regressive distributional effects.

Trump’s promise to Americans: lower prices on Day One.
By our count, it’s Day 115, and the results of his most significant economic policy show that the opposite is happening.
Anyone who has bills to pay already knows the truth.
House Republicans' proposed budget will make mortgages expensive and harder to obtain, while the Trump admin worsens the housing crisis by gutting federal agencies and programs.
Trump’s tariff policies are essentially a baby tax on new parents: necessary items like strollers, car seats, and toys are now even more expensive and out of reach for working families.
Just how high have prices risen?
While the cost of living only continues to rise, consumer sentiment about the economy is in freefall.
All while House Republicans push a budget that would devastate basic needs programs to give billionaires more tax breaks.
This isn’t leadership. It’s economic sabotage. And…
Second lowest on record--street expected a small rise on China deal, market optimism.
Turns out people still hate the Trump economy!
Expert and consumer advocate @AngelaHanks joined @SenRubenGallego, @WhipKClark, and @DadsCaucus @RepJimmyGomez to expose how Trump’s policies are placing a "baby tax" on parents—driving up costs on essentials like car seats, cribs, clothes, and strollers.
Parents are paying more for car seats, cribs, and strollers because of Trump’s dumb tariffs — and he called it ‘peanuts.’ We’re calling it what it is: a baby tax.
As the chair of @DadsCaucus, I’m standing up for working families with @SenRubenGallego @WhipKClark @TCFdotorg…
If you’ve already taken a “tariff tour” around your home, then you already know how much we depend on products from China.
“This might be a bit of a wakeup call to where all of our stuff actually comes from.” @AlexSJacquez
While many wealthy folks would see their tax rates fall, the lowest income Americans would see their tax rates RISE - all while Republicans work to destroy our safety net.
Millionaires might rejoice, but working families will struggle even more.
