More burden on working people to benefit the rich! And the affordability burden is much more than gasoline, also fertilizer for crops, materials and much more. Plus the human cost! Pathetic, incompetent, self-obsessed Trump tries to rationalize in this clueless way. Organize to win in November!

Grifters must testify.
Corruption, plain and simple.
Steve Witkoff, David Sacks, and Howard Lutnick must testify in front of Congress.
And Congress needs to grow a spine and put a stop to Trump’s crypto corruption.

Reform ICE! All law enforcement must follow the law to serve the people as a whole.
Reforming ICE (at least partially) is at hand!!! Contact members of Congress to get the best deal. And support and participate in demonstrations to keep up the heat! Standing up to bullies is the only way! #ReformICE
