Republicans' 2024 top of the ticket victory was driven by Hispanic voters in states like Florida and Texas, but those same ... Show Full Article

Under Trump and Rollins, Prices Are Devastating American Families and Farmers

As Donald Trump's reckless tariffs and deadly and costly war with Iran force prices on everything from gas, diesel, fertilizer, and beef to skyrocket, Trump and his Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins have offered no meaningful solutions to lower costs for American families and farmers.

Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 -- The Democratic National Committee posted the following news release: * * * September 22, 2026 Under Trump and Rollins, Prices Are Devastating American Families and Farmers As Donald Trump's reckless tariffs and deadly and costly war with Iran force prices on everything from gas, diesel, fertilizer, and beef to skyrocket, Trump and his Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins have offered no meaningful solutions to lower costs for American families and farmers. This August, the price of ground beef hit $7.16 per pound, and just yesterday Rollins suggested that if beef istoo expensive, "you can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs, there are other sources of really good protein." On top of downplaying the high cost, she even claimed that "$6.50 for a pound of ground beef probably isn't that bad." Now, Trump is importing foreign beef at the expense of U.S. ranchers.

The national average price for a gallon of gas is $4.48, and the average price for a gallon of diesel is sitting at $6.53 per gallon for the first time ever. This means fuel costs for farms are up $11 per acre from last year for corn and $7 per acre for soybeans. Meanwhile, Trump's war with Iran has sent fertilizer prices skyrocketing, squeezing farmers already struggling with high costs during the height of harvest season. Trump's reckless trade war has already devastated American farmers, locking them out of markets completely.

Almost 95% of farmers said that Trump's war with Iran was increasing machinery and other key costs, and 55% said federal policies over the previous year had hurt their operations. It's no wonder 39% of farmers said they were "persuadable" in the 2026 elections.

In response, DNC Deputy Executive Director Libby Schneider released the following statement:

"Donald Trump and Republicans have proved to the American people that they couldn't care less about them. Trump's reckless tariffs and war with Iran have pushed working families and farmers to the brink, as costs for everything from fuel to fertilizer skyrocket, as farmers start fall harvest, and it becomes nearly impossible to make ends meet. But what is the Trump administration doing to fix their mess? Nothing -- except telling Americans to suck it up. Voters will remember who turned their backs on them this November."

While Joe Lombardo refuses to debate Attorney General Aaron Ford, NV Dems is launching a new series to highlight some of the many ways he's dodged accountability for his cost-of-living crisis.

On day two, we're calling out Joe Lombardo's health care crisis that pads Big Pharma's pockets and leaves working families behind. After Lombardo endorsed Trump's plans to raise ACA premiums, tens of thousands of Nevadans' insurancecosts increased to an estimated average of nearly $800 a month -a 34% spike. No Show Joe even said Nevadans should be "excited" about the GOP budget bill even though our state is one of the hardest hit by the bill's funding and health care cuts. This all follows Lombardo vetoing legislation to lower prescription drug costs and then receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in political donations from the pharmaceutical industry.

"It's no surprise that Joe Lombardo is too chicken to take accountability for helping Donald Trump gut health care from hundreds of thousands of Nevadans, " said Nevada State Democratic Party spokesperson Kate Sosland. "On Lombardo's watch, NICUs are shuttering, health care workers are getting laid off, and families can't afford life-saving prescriptions. No Show Joe owes Nevadans answers after spending the last three and half years raising costs."

Here's a look at Joe Lombardo's health care record that puts Donald Trump and Big Pharma first and Nevadans last:

* Endorsing Trump's plans to raise ACA premiums and force 115,000 Nevadans off their health care

* Supporting Trump's Medicaid cuts that will cost the state millions and has already laid off health care workers and shuttered critical services at hospitals

* Falsely taking credit for Nevada's first standalone children's hospital after backing Trump's steep Medicaid cuts that have jeopardized whether it can even open

* Calling the state public health option -which will give hundreds of thousands of Nevadans more options for more affordable care -"bullshit"

* Vetoing bills to lower prescription costs while taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from big drug companies

"WARS ARE MESSY" - "No Pain, No Gain" Jim Desmond Doubles Down on Iran War as Gas Prices Hit Record Highs

*

MAGA loyalist Jim Desmond is digging in his heels to support Donald Trump's wildly unpopular war in Iran as Southern Californians continue to pay record-high prices at the pump.

At the start of the war, Desmond callously dismissed those costs on Southern Californians as "no pain, no gain." Six months later, Desmond is doubling down hard on his stance in a rare new interview.

Less than 50 days before the midterms, she's ready to take on Mike Lawler's cost-raising agenda and be the leader that Hudson Valley voters deserve. Cait joined MSNOW's The Last Word to discuss how Mike Lawler's fealty to Donald Trump has forced Hudson Valley familiesto make "trade-offs between buying prescriptions or buying groceries," calling out Lapdog Lawler for serving "his own political ambition, political interest, and Donald Trump."

WATCH CAIT ON THE LAST WORD:

"At the end of the day, it's affordability. It's the fact that folks are having to make trade-offs between buying prescriptions or buying groceries. Between filling up their grocery cart or filling up their gas tank. [...]

Eight votes for the tariffs that have jacked up costs here in the Hudson Valley by $4,200 per household. Voting six times for the reckless war in Iran that's costing us at the pump nearly a dollar and a half more than it did before the war. And so we just see this pattern of behavior where Mike Lawler votes one way, Donald Trump's way, even when it harms families right here. [...]

The people here in the Hudson Valley are sick of it. They know better. They know that since Mike Lawler has taken this seat, their lives have only gotten worse and they deserve better. And that's what I'm fighting for this November. They deserve a public servant, not a puppet. [...]

[Mike Lawler] serves his own political ambition, political interest, and Donald Trump. And we've seen that with his record. We've seen that with his votes, which have been 100% of the time for Donald Trump. But I find that absolutely inexcusable. I find that to be cowardly, and I find that to be far from adequate and far from what the people of NY-17 deserve."
