    President Trump’s tariffs have been a disaster for American families. While I’m thankful that the Supreme Court has overturned many of these illegal tariffs, this ruling cannot undo the damage they’ve already caused.

    President Trump has imposed reckless tariffs, driven up health care costs, and created economic uncertainty that all raise prices for families. And now Americans are paying over $1,600 more than before he came into office. Read our full report here: jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/…

    It’s not just you – inflation has gotten worse under President Trump. My new report shows that an American family has already paid an average of $700 in higher costs since Trump took office.

    Trump said he'd “bring the cost of everything way down" on day one. Well, it's been nearly a year—and Illinois families are spending $766 more on basic necessities due to inflation. This might be pennies to his billionaire buddies. But it's a gut punch for the middle class.

    🚨The new @JECDems report shows the average California family paid $1,112 more for the same products due to inflation in Trump’s first 8 months. Trump’s disastrous policies and trade war are hurting Americans’ pocketbooks in every single state.

    This week, President Trump and his cabinet are claiming that costs are down. The reality is that as Trump has pushed ahead with reckless tariffs, families across the country are being forced to spend more.

    Trump: Our energy costs are way down. Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down. And the press does not report it… Thanksgiving meals 25% down. So I don't want to hear about the affordability.

    New @JECDems report shows that this year Americans paid $100 more on electricity on average. While families grapple with higher costs, Donald Trump is giving away hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to bolster pricey and deadly fossil fuels. jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/…

    The job market continues to slow, and it's worrying. We're (just) keeping our head above water (for now). Jobs grew only +22k. July revised up +6k to +79k. June was revised down by -27k to -13k. Average jobs growth over the three months = +29k. Unemployment up a tick to 4.3%.
