Trump says he “loves inflation.” Sacramentans do not. My constituents are paying more for rent, utilities, and groceries because of Trump's reckless tariffs and war with Iran. But this is exactly what Trump’s economy is meant to deliver — higher costs for hard-working

Trump's fixation on conspiracy theories, illegal tariffs, and an unauthorized war has sent the cost of living soaring. The financial hardship Americans are experiencing is the result of the whims of a man incapable of accepting reality and Republicans unwilling to stand up to
