American families are spending more on their energy bills than ever before as the Trump Administration continues to prioritize fossil fuel profits over affordability, and we can't afford market manipulators making matters worse.
The bill before us takes food and drink from the mouths of the poor. It takes healthcare from the sick. A vote for this bill betrays these Gospel teachings, and in our hearts all of us know it.
And they will fail to achieve any of the pretextual objectives Trump has stated for imposing them.
Keeping his tariffs in place will cost families up to $2,000, but imposing and lifting them over and over again also has a cost.
