Republicans clearly haven't been focused on lowering costs this year.
New Dems share what Republicans have been focused on instead.

Canadian crews helped save 15 Minnesota kids from wildfires. Trump's response is 50% tariffs that will jack up costs for Minnesota families.
This is not leadership. Trump is being petty and it is going to hurt real people.
President Trump is imposing 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, from hockey equipment to alcoholic beverages, escalating the trade dispute between the two countries.
The new tariffs — laid out in a series of proclamations signed by Mr. Trump on Monday — are set to take effect on Aug. 19.

Trump's HHS just rescinded a rule meant to protect LGBTQI+ children in the foster care system from abuse & harassment by providing them with meaningful access to safe and affirming placements.
Read CEC Chair @RepMarkTakano & Co-Chair @RepAngieCraig's statements here:
ALT Equality Caucus Leaders Slam Trump Admin’s Rescission of Rule Guaranteeing Safe Foster Placements
ALT “Every child in foster care—including LGBTQI+ children—deserves a safe home, which is exactly what the Biden Administration sought to accomplish with this rule. Rescinding this rule without putting forward an alternative to protect LGBTQI+ foster children puts children at risk, plain and simple. I’m thankful to the leadership of Equality Caucus Co-Chair Angie Craig in this fight—together, we’re going to keep working to protect young LGBTQI+ children in foster care from harassment and abuse." Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus
ALT “The ‘party of family values’ strikes again and their relentless attacks on LGBTQ+ youth continue. The Trump Administration’s decision to rescind this rule with no clear alternative is yet another disgraceful attack on LGBTQ+ foster youth and on families across this country. As an adoptive mother myself, I won’t stop fighting to ensure that foster youth have the chance to land in a safe and supportive home.” Rep. Angie Craig, Co-Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus

Trump and House Republicans cut SNAP by $187 billion in the Big Ugly Bill last year. Since then, 4.7 million Americans — including an estimated 1.5 million CHILDREN — have been kicked off food assistance. Now, rumor is that Trump and GOP are coming back for more.
Hell no.
🚨 Major pushback from key House Republicans to the slimmed down recon 3.0 plan Speaker + WH is now pushing — with Iran war $, farm aid + SAVE elements — that isn’t fully paid for
“I’m positive there will be pay-fors,” Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said. “Or there is no path.”
Rep. Erin Houchin (R-Ind.), a Budget Committee member, told @politico last night she had “concerns” about the plans and Rs has “a long way to go” before she would vote to advance the plans in a markup.
Today Houchin raised pushback directly to GOP leaders in a closed-door conference meeting.
RSC Chair August Pfluger of Texas, one of recon 3.0 biggest boosters, told us:
“We really don’t have any details from leadership. We are continuing to urge them to be aggressive and be strong.”
Pfluger also said he spoke up during the closed-door House GOP meeting to urge Republicans to do more to tackle fraud in social programs to find more cost savings.
Inside the closed door meeting, Johnson told Republicans he wants Budget Committee to advance the plans by end of day Thursday. BUT he also urged them to “be patient” as Rs balk.

The Secretary of Agriculture doesn't know how much money American farmers lost last year.

ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program
