John –
Donald Trump's latest round of massive tariffs – effectively, a sales tax on consumers – have sent financial markets tumbling, moved us closer to a recession, and increased the anxiety for families already scraping to get by. Economists estimate that these tariffs could cost the average household over $4,000 a year.
So what are Congressional Republicans doing to offer the American people any sense of relief and calm at this moment? Absolutely nothing.
In fact, they're doubling down on their agenda to squeeze the middle class:
This week, they're trying to iron out further details for a huge billionaire tax cut. What a set of priorities: letting the top 1% pay less while everyone else deals with the cost of higher goods across the board.
Families throughout the Midwest will feel the impact of these tariffs especially hard. We're already seeing major disruptions to agriculture, car production, and more. Midwestern Republicans have made clear that they won't stand up for their constituents. Let's show them the door.
Stand with Midwest Majority PAC and chip in today! We're moving fast to organize in key districts, rally folks, and flip seats so we can have a Congress that actually fights for economic fairness.
More soon,
Team MMP
