Nothing is safe in Trump’s ghastly economy. His tariffs, illegal war, and soaring inflation have even made the cost of candy skyrocket. This Halloween, Trump is offering more tricks than treats to our kids.
House DPCC retweeted
Everything is more expensive in Trump’s economy. Since he took office, families in northern Illinois have spent an additional:
➡️$1,277 on housing costs like rent and mortgage payments since the start of the Iran war
➡️$310 for groceries
➡️$212 on electricity
➡️$885 on gas since the start of the Iran war
House DPCC retweeted
158 days of gas above $4. A new record.
Since Trump’s reckless war in Iran began, the average American household has paid an extra $2,000 in costs.
You feel it at the pump, at the checkout line, and every time you sit down to try to make your monthly budget work. Working families in the #FightingFifth and beyond shouldn’t have to pay the price for this administration’s reckless decisions.

Donald Trump promised to bring down prices on Day One. Gas has been over $4/gallon for 158 days, a new record.
The President might not care, but families struggling to make ends meet sure do. Congress needs to end his illegal war in Iran and suspend the gas tax NOW.
House DPCC retweeted
Gas prices have topped $4 a gallon nationally for a record 158 days this year. Trump's war in Iran has cost American households $2,000 each. Inflation hit a 4-month high last month.
Nearly two years into Trump's second term, with Republicans controlling the House & Senate, this is the economic reality facing American families.
"Trump has no one to blame but himself for his broken promises and economic failures, and the American people know it."
Ranking Member @CongBoyle on today's inflation data:
ALT Boyle Statement on September 2026 CPI Inflation Data President Trump promised to end inflation and lower costs 'on day one.' More than 600 days into his second term, he has done the exact opposite, driving up costs for American families with his disastrous war in Iran and reckless tariff taxes. Trump has no one to blame but himself for his broken promises and economic failures, and the American people know it. HOUSE

You can thank Donald Trump and his rubber-stamps in Congress and their war of choice for jacking up gas, diesel and utility costs.
House DPCC retweeted
What would you do if you had $2000 extra in your pocket? Thanks to Trump's illegal Iran War, we'll never know.
Every day this war continues is another day that Trump loots the American public for his war of choice.
The Iran War is costing Americans $2,000 per household according to analysis by @Markzandi @economics_ma + @CostsOfWar.
House DPCC retweeted
Today is day 158 of gas above $4.
Americans are paying for Trump’s reckless war of choice every time they fill up their tank.

Trump promised to bring prices down on Day One. It’s Day 168 of $6 gas in California because of President Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran.
Republicans repeatedly voted to prolong the war, and you’re paying for it at the pump.
Republicans’ war, your wallet.

Trump promised to lower costs and end inflation on day one.
The exact opposite has happened.
This president has been a total failure.
House DPCC retweeted
Thank a Republican.
The price of the fuel, used by farmers and truckers, is up more than 75% since the start of the Iran war in late winter. Diesel costs have become a particular concern for economists, who say higher diesel fuel costs trickle down into “just about everything.” nbcnews.com/business/economy…

158 days with gas above $4—the most ever in one year.
Working families are paying the price for Donald Trump’s reckless war with Iran.
House DPCC retweeted
Donald Trump said his reckless war with Iran would last weeks.
It’s been SIX MONTHS.

Endless cash for foreign wars and White House vanity projects.
No money for healthcare or childcare.
This is Trump’s America.
House DPCC retweeted
Chaos and corruption.
Those are the only things this administration is capable of.
House DPCC retweeted
Thankful for the legendary life, leadership and legacy of the great John Lewis.
The right to vote is sacred to the integrity of our democracy.
We will never yield it.
House DPCC retweeted
John Lewis was more than our esteemed friend and colleague, he was a force to be reckoned with and a powerful civil rights champion. His work is not finished, and neither are we. House Democrats will keep making good trouble, necessary trouble, in pursuit of a more perfect union.
