Trump is building an economy that is for billionaires, by billionaires. It’s why no one is able to afford it. www.npr.org/2025/08/21/n...

Republicans are hitting families hard with higher costs across the board. And they're willing to shut down the government to keep it that way. More in our latest Substack: waysmeanscmte.substack.com/p/republican...

NEW DATA: Only 38% of Republicans’ Big Ugly Law benefits families earning under $200,000. But under Democrats’ premium tax credits, 94% of the benefit goes to families earning under $200,000. People deserve policies that put them first.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House—and they'd rather shut down the government than lower costs for Americans. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:

Despite claims to the contrary, premium tax credits are well targeted to people with low & moderate incomes who need the most help with health costs. Three-quarters of people getting the credits have incomes below 300% FPL (~$47K for an individual). >90% have incomes below 400% FPL (~$63K)

Your health care isn't getting more expensive by accident. • GOP’s failure to renew ACA credits • GOP Medicaid cuts = higher premiums + more hospitals closing • Trump’s tariffs Bottom line: Republicans are the reason your health care is unaffordable. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Congressional Republicans voted twice this week to lock in Trump’s $2,400-a-year tax on Americans. Don’t buy the lie that they’re on your side.

The rising costs of Trump’s America are making parenting harder than it needs to be. New Mexico is showing what it really means to put families first. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Republicans would rather shut the government down than make your health care affordable. @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social:

A timely reminder that Trump falsely accused a Fed governor of mortgage fraud only for her to clear her name and then we find out half his Administration is guilty of this They can’t even bother to get their lies right www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Miran pulled up to the Fed meeting and said what the hell, sure whatever Trump wants

Trump’s attempts to politicize the Fed were always wrong and self-dealing. Today’s rate cut is an example of why it’s important for the Fed to make decisions that are economically responsible—not politically convenient.

Families across the country are staring down health insurance hikes of up to 75%. Republicans could stop it. They're just choosing not to. @repschneider.bsky.social:

How do Republicans expect people to keep up with double-digit price increases at the grocery store and at hospitals? @chu.house.gov:

Americans are living through the most blatant, destructive attack on health care in America’s history. All at the hands of Republicans. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:

Last night, Republicans voted to lock in Trump’s Tariffs for the next 6 months. Republicans have made their position clear: double-digit price hikes are here to stay.

The Trump Administration is pitting states against each other to secure health funding for rural areas. This isn’t policy. It’s cruelty. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is still law and it runs through 2032. Congress made that clear. Trump and Republicans can’t steal families’ $3,200/year in savings. This is theft and Ways and Means Democrats are fighting back. 🔗: punchbowl.news/article/fina...

Whether you see it in your grocery store or on your next electric bill, Trump’s policies are making life unaffordable. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When 300 million people are at risk of identity theft at the hands of their government, people deserve accountability and answers. That’s exactly what Ways and Means Democrats are calling for. Our latest Resolution of Inquiry: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...

Groceries shouldn’t break the bank. But in an economy designed for billionaires, by billionaires, everything is working like Trump wanted it to. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

For years, Republicans have been dead set on ensuring that quality health care is only a luxury for a few. Now that they’re in power, Republicans are targeting every program that Democrats built to make health care a basic right. time.com/7312361/obam...

Imagine having the opportunity to push an additional 3.3 million children out of poverty. Republicans had that opportunity. Instead, they chose to line the pockets of billionaires.

All while the Census has put out a new report that poverty is now at 10.6% What’s ahead? Republicans rolling back all the programs Democrats have put in place that we know cut poverty

Democrats know how to write policy that cuts poverty – the Child Tax Credit was working and the data proved it: it cut child poverty in half. Today, Republicans are doing what they do best: undoing progress. povertycenter.columbia.edu/what-could-2...

🔓 Full name 🔓 Social Security number 🔓 Birth date 🔓 Addresses That’s just some of the information we know that DOGE mishandled. Here’s what it means for you: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Anyone sensing a theme here? It’s Republicans once again choosing the billionaires and big corporations over you. Today’s flair: stopping enforcement to crack down on tax shelters. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b...

No rebranding can fix a law that trades your health coverage for tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump and Republicans are waging an all-out war on your health care and wallet. Here’s how: www.ft.com/content/9af0...

Today’s abysmal job numbers not only made history, they confirmed what we already know: Trump’s economic policies are failing American workers. More in our latest Substack: waysmeanscmte.substack.com/p/the-fight-...

BREAKING: The American economy

“Numbers always tend to benefit the left” Republicans’ war on numbers continues

The Trump Administration gave up on lowering Americans’ health care costs before they even tried. More from Ranking Member @neal.house.gov: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...

It’s clear the lengths this Administration will go to force RFK Jr.’s conspiracy theories on every American. This is more than another corrupt political firing, it’s life or death for people in every state. Hear firsthand from recently-fired CDC Director, Dr. Monarez: www.wsj.com/opinion/robe...

Lies are the bedrock of the Trump Administration

Back in March, Republicans tried to sweep privacy concerns under the rug when we raised the alarm. Now, Americans are paying the price with their privacy. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

A brave whistleblower has confirmed what we’ve feared for months: Trump and DOGE have uploaded your private data to who knows where. This is the personal data of every single American at stake. www.cbsnews.com/news/social-...

While your grocery bill went up this Labor Day weekend, Trump is $5 billion richer from his crypto scheme. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Rep. John Larson was was right: Republicans waved away the risk to Social Security data back in March. Now, a whistleblower has bravely come forward, confirming Trump and DOGE recklessly copied YOUR DATA to god knows where. What do Republicans have to say about that?? 🤐

As kids across America head back to school, it's not just excitement that families are feeling. Trump’s tariffs have parents stretching. In our Substack, we explain how the President’s economic recklessness is sowing damage, from the classroom to the cafeteria: open.substack.com/pub/waysmean...

Workers are losing their jobs as American companies struggle to keep up with Trump’s Trade War. As the WSJ Editorial Board writes: “Tariffs raise costs, and their uncertain implementation has customers of the equipment makers more cautious in their investments." www.wsj.com/opinion/deer...

Vague commitments. Dubious legality. Trump’s latest trade “deal” has all the markings of a shakedown that will keep Americans’ costs higher and jeopardize the global economy. Ranking Member @reprichardneal.bsky.social's full statement: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...

With their law, Republicans are transferring wealth away from those at the bottom to shower those at the top with over $13,000/year. The Republican agenda is a reverse Robin Hood scam. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Republicans’ Medicaid cuts are going to change what school looks like for millions of kids. While billionaires keep getting richer, students with disabilities will struggle to get the resources they need. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

This is not an accident – this is Trump’s game plan going to plan: protect the rich, no one else matters. www.axios.com/2025/08/15/t...

The whole country is feeling 10% higher electric bills since Trump took office. Trump’s response? Make it even worse by taking over 64,000 clean energy jobs offline – leaving you with a ballooning electric bill.

If the Trump Administration cared about cutting health care costs, they wouldn’t be gutting prevention programs. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Republicans are making Americans sicker and charging them more for it. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

Trump and Republicans in Congress love to talk about protecting seniors, but their Tax Scam is draining Social Security faster than ever. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hiding the data won’t hide the pain the American people are feeling right now. www.wsj.com/economy/amer...

Today, Social Security is closer than ever to missing a payment. In our latest Substack, we cover how we got to this point and how Democrats are working to make sure that Social Security endures for generations to come. 🔗: waysmeanscmte.substack.com/p/90-years-o...
