ICYMI: New Year, New Higher Prices for Working Families Thanks to Michigan Republicans
In case you missed it, working Michiganders will pay thousands of dollars more on groceries, health care, and utilities in the new year, thanks to the Republican agenda raising prices. Whether from Matt Hall's heartless cuts, Trump's chaotic tariffs, or Congressional Republicans gutting health care, Michiganders will continue to feel the pain of skyrocketing prices in 2026.
These price hikes are no accident;they are a key part of Republicans' billionaire-first agenda that is handing out tax breaks to the 1%-at the cost of everyday Michiganders. As long as Michigan Republicans at every level keep working to make life harder for middle-class families, Michigan Democrats will keep fighting to lower costs and help the Michiganders abandoned by the radical Republican agenda.

ICYMI: By Every Metric, Trump's First Year Was Disastrous for Working Families Nationwide
Donald Trump's first year has been a complete disaster for working families everywhere. Under Trump's watch, working families are struggling with skyrocketing prices and a dismal job market, rural communities are being gutted, family farm bankruptcies are soaring, and local economies are taking a nosedive.
Trump promised to deliver for working families and lower costs, but by nearly every metric, his policiesare hurting working Americans. Make no mistake: Trump's toxic agenda promises to deliver more of the same in 2026 -- the ultrawealthy first, working Americans last.
Take a look, state by state, at how Trump's first year has been a disaster for Americans across the country:
WRAL: As national voters remain gloomy on economy, Trump heads to North Carolina
[Will Doran, 12/19/25]
"'Trump promised to lower costs for North Carolina families on Day One, but he's done the opposite,' Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin told WRAL in a statement. 'Trump has spent his first year wining and dining CEOs and billionaires while skyrocketing costs, killing jobs, steering our economy toward recession, and kicking millions of Americans off their health care.'"
UpNorthNews: Does Trump's Wisconsin economy seem 'A+++++' to you? He thinks so
[Pat Kreitlow, 12/17/25]
"'Trump promised to lower costs for Wisconsin families on Day One, but he's done the opposite,' said Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee. 'Trump has spent his first year wining and dining CEOs and billionaires while skyrocketing costs, killing jobs, steering our economy toward recession, and kicking millions of Americans off their health care.'
"Using the same data source and methods Republicans used last year, Democrats pointed out that the average Wisconsin family has paid $671 more in 2025 for the same goods and services that were purchased in 2024 -- despite Trump promising inflation would be in 'FULL RETREAT' by August.
"The median-income Wisconsin family will lose a combined $1,060 per year from Trump's trade war tariffs and the effects of the megabill that have made massive cuts to federal programs.
"Wisconsin's 271,589 enrollees in Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance plans are losing their enhanced tax credits -- to that end, a 60-year-old Badger making around $63,000 will see monthly premiums increase by an average of 192%.
"Many will no longer be able to afford coverage through the ACA or due to cuts in Medicaid (and the impact on Medicare), leading to an estimated 110,000 in the state becoming uninsured and at risk of driving healthcare costs up for everyone.
"And for working families whose incomes are low enough to qualify for food assistance, cuts to SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) will cause 375,000 Wisconsin families to lose some or all of their benefits.
"'As Trump has his fun with gilded ballrooms and Great Gatsby parties while ignoring everybody else,' Martin said, 'Wisconsin families know Democrats will keep fighting on their behalf every day to lower costs and improve lives.'"
Keystone Newsroom: Pennsylvanians end 2025 with less money thanks to Trump's economic policies
[Sean Kitchen, 12/18/25]
"Inflation under Trump's first year in office has cost Pennsylvania families $733 and his landmark legislation, the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' along with tariffs are expected to cost Pennsylvania families an additional $1,060. ...
"Pennsylvanians are also expected to see their health care coverage increase due to the Affordable Care Act tax credits expiring at the end of this year.
"Close to 500,000 Pennsylvanians purchase their health care through Pennie, the state's ACA marketplace, and nearly 422,000 of those customers rely on those subsidies to pay for their monthly premiums.
"Pennie customers are expected to see their premiums increase by 102% if these tax credits are allowed to expire.
"'Trump promised to lower costs for Pennsylvania families on Day One, but he's done the opposite. Trump has spent his first year wining and dining CEOs and billionaires while skyrocketing costs, killing jobs, steering our economy toward recession, and kicking millions of Americans off their health care,' Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement.
"He added, 'As Trump has his fun with gilded ballrooms and Great Gatsby parties while ignoring everybody else, Pennsylvania families know Democrats will keep fighting on their behalf every day to lower costs and improve lives.'"
Michigan Chronicle: DNC Chair: Trump is Costing Michigan Families
[Sam Robinson, 12/17/25]
"The DNC claims Michigan families lost $691 in higher costs due to Trump's inflation, according to data released last week from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"'Trump promised to lower costs for Michigan families on Day One, but he's done the opposite,' DNC Chair Ken Martin in a statement to Michigan Chronicle. 'Trump has spent his first year wining and dining CEOs and billionaires while skyrocketing costs, killing jobs, steering our economy toward recession, and kicking millions of Americans off their health care. Families are worse off than they were a year ago, but Democrats are standing up to fight for them.' ...
"'Working Americans nationwide are sending a message: Enough is enough. As Trump has his fun with gilded ballrooms and Great Gatsby parties while ignoring everybody else, Michigan families know Democrats will keep fighting on their behalf every day to lower costs and improve lives.' ...
"Democrats say without the extension of ACA tax credits, a 60-year-old Michigander making around $63,000 would see their monthly premiums increase by an average of 151%.
"More than 470,000 Affordable Care Act marketplace enrollees in Michigan are at risk of losing enhanced ACA tax credits because of Republicans' refusal to extend the tax credits, the DNC says, pointing to data from KFF, a San Francisco based health policy research organization.
"'Since Donald Trump took office in January, this year has been a complete disaster for Michiganders. Under Trump, working families are struggling with skyrocketing prices and a dismal job market, rural communities are being gutted, family farm bankruptcies are soaring, and Michigan's economy is taking a nosedive.'"
Texas Signal: An Economic Reality Check In Texas
[Jessica Montoya Coggins, 12/18/25]
"No state is perhaps feeling the economic pinch quite like Texas. And that's in large part due to the expected major increase in health care costs. Over 3.7 million Texans are likely going to lose their enhanced Affordable Care Act tax subsidies according to data compiled by KFF, a nonpartisan health policy organization.
"Texas, which is one of the few states that never expanded Medicaid, will likely have residents that on average will see their monthly health care premiums increase by 216 percent. And then there's the thousands of Texans who will likely forego health care altogether in 2026.
"Health care isn't the only field where Texans are hurting. Inflation has been a major concern throughout the state. Rising prices are likely why attendance at this year's State Fair was at a ten-year low.
"The increased costs from tariffs have also been hurting Texans and companies based in the state. The Dallas Fed Report recently published new findings that showed nearly half of companies surveyed reported rising input prices. And places in Texas that import from around the world have acutely been feeling the impacts of tariffs."
Washington Post: What the end of Trump's first year looks like
[Amber Phillips, 12/16/25]
"'We inherited the highest prices ever, and we're bringing them down,' Trump asserted on the first stop of his affordability tour last week.
"But electricity is becoming unaffordable for many, homeownership is out of reach for a number of Americans, inflation remains high and grocery costs keep going up -- in part because of Trump's deportations of farm workers. Trump touts his work to lower some drug prices, but health insurance costs are going up for millions of Americans next year if Congress doesn't act soon.
"There have also been recession-like layoffs in white-collar jobs, and the unemployment rate is at its highest level since 2021. Even basics are a pain point for many: A majority of Americans say they are spending more on groceries and utilities than they were a year ago, according to a recent Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll."

Unearthed audio of Mackenzie speaking at a town hall exposes his years-long crusade to undercut access to affordable health care
Vulnerable Republican Ryan Mackenzie is trying to paper over his record of voting for massive cuts to health care and higher premiums by pretending to support an extension of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits.
There's just one problem: recently unearthedaudio reveals that Mackenzie has spent more than a decade opposing the ACA and even working to undercut the program in Pennsylvania.
Heartland Signal reports that during his time in the state legislature, Mackenzie called the ACA "infringements upon our rights," and said the health care program had turned "out to be more of a disaster than I think anybody ever imagined."
Mackenzie also reportedly "bragged about opposing setting up a state exchange" - admitting that he was actively working as a state legislator to prevent Pennsylvanians from being able to access affordable health care.
You can watch Mackenzie's stunning remarks for yourself here, and read key details from Heartland Signal's reporting below:
Heartland Signal: Ryan Mackenzie flip-flops on ACA, which he once called 'an infringement upon our rights'
By Richard Eberwein | 12/22/25
* U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA) was one of four Republicans to sign a discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) premium tax credits. But the swing-district lawmaker has a decade-long history of opposition to both the program and health care expansion in Pennsylvania.
* In actuality, Mackenzie has vocally and vehemently opposed the ACA since his early years as a Pennsylvania state representative.
* During a town hall event in 2013, Mackenzie referred to the ACA as an "infringement upon our rights." At the time, Mackenzie was serving his first term in the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives, and he also bragged about opposing setting up a state exchange and expanding Medicaid.
* "Other things that I look forward to talking about are some of the things that I see coming down the pike are things that are real infringements upon our rights," Mackenzie said. "Things like Obamacare, I was at a seminar earlier today, and this is turning out to be more of a disaster than I think anybody could imagine."

ICYMI: WHYY Reporting Details How Ryan Mackenzie "Cost Pennsylvania Millions" in Public Safety Funding
*
One of Mackenzie's first votes in Congress was to strip millions of dollars from public safety initiatives across the Lehigh Valley
Vulnerable Republican Ryan Mackenzie has put his D.C. party bosses first and the Lehigh Valley last during his first year in Congress.
Major recent reporting from WHYY outlined how Mackenzie "cost Pennsylvania millions" by voting for a budget thatstripped previously-approved Community Project Funding for public safety initiatives. Mackenzie's vote slashed funding "for police equipment, flood control, emergency communications upgrades and a major opioid interdiction and prosecution initiative in Monroe County."
WHYY reports that Mackenzie even failed to notify local recipients that he and House Republicans were pulling back their funding. A Monroe County Commissioner "said he never received" a call from Mackenzie, and "described the loss as a serious setback to their effort to combat the spread of illicit opioid distribution."
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
"One of the very first votes Ryan Mackenzie cast in Congress was to rip away millions of dollars in funding for policing and public safety initiatives across the Lehigh Valley. That tells you everything you need to know about Mackenzie: He's just another career politician who puts politics ahead of keeping his community safe."
Read key details from WHYY below:
* Pennsylvania communities lost millions of dollars in federal funding this year after a congressional standoff forced lawmakers to pass a short-term spending bill that stripped out all Community Project Funding grants for fiscal year 2025.
* For communities in the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, that meant losing support for police equipment, flood control, emergency communications upgrades and a major opioid interdiction and prosecution initiative in Monroe County.
* Monroe County Commissioner John Christy said he believed the county had secured more than $2 million for an antiopioid task force designed to help prosecutors and detectives track drug distribution networks and pursue "death by delivery" cases.
* Then, suddenly, it was gone.
* Christy told WHYY News that he learned of the cuts only after months of assuming the money was on its way.
* "We thought the money was coming," Christy said. He learned otherwise when former U.S. Rep. Wild, who had championed the project. The county confirmed it with their federal contacts.
* Christy described the loss as a serious setback to their effort to combat the spread of illicit opioid distribution in a region that serves as a channel to the New York drug trade and where overdoses account for hundreds of deaths each year.
* Wild's office had submitted Community Project Funding requests for 15 projects for the fiscal year 2025 federal budget for the area a mix of public safety upgrades, county initiatives and law enforcement tools that she said had broad bipartisan value. She was surprised to learn only after she left office that they hadn't been funded.
* "It was very disheartening," she told WHYY News. "Once something has passed through appropriations and been approved and the recipient has been notified, it's my understanding that it's pretty unusual to have it be rescinded."
* "These weren't partisan projects," Wild said. "There's a long negotiation process to get them and to get your money or to get your application approved. [Applicants] have to back it up with all different kinds of paperwork, and it's not a small deal."
* Wild also blames Republicans for the loss of the funding, including her successor Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh, who voted for the continuing resolution, which passed Congress mostly along party lines.
* "He's making this big, big deal on social media about how he got this money for this firehouse and I'm thinking, 'Well, maybe you should tell people about the ones that you killed too,'" she said.
* A spokesperson with Mackenzie's office said that they did reach out to what recipients they were aware of and invited them to reapply for fiscal year 2026.
* Christy, however, said he never received such a call [...]

The New York Times profiled the fallout for families paying the price of Issa's vote last year to rip health care away from more than 32,000 of his constituents.
Renee Rubin Ross, a California mom who relieson the ACA to cover her family of four, will now pay about $2,700 more per month to keep her coverage. She told the New York Times : "I don't even know how to get my mind around it. It's the opposite of affordable."

Washington Post: Democrats look primed to win the House, but a wave might be harder
By Yasmeen Abutaleb | January 5, 2026
* Democrats are celebrating signs that the tide is turning their way for the 2026 midterms.
* History, polling, a narrow Republican majority, a string of off-year victories and voter anxiety over the economy favor the Democrats, who lead in support for control of Congress by five percentage points in a Post average of November and December national polls.
* Of the 39 seats Democrats are competing for, 28 are in districts that Trump won by five or more percentage points.
* The good news for Democrats this year: They need only three seats to regain control of the House.
* Party leaders, however, argue they are well positioned to compete in heavily Trump districts.
* Democrats have coalesced around a midterm message focused on the cost of living and health care, hammering Republicans for passing a $4 trillion budget bill that includes steep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. They have also highlighted Republicans' failure to extend pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies that expired Dec. 31 that will drive up premiums for millions of Americans this year.
* Democratic Party leaders have been energized by off-year and special elections in which Democrats performed above expectations.
* Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Washington), chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in an interview that many candidates competing in Trump districts are closely connected to their communities and "independent-minded."
* "Authenticity matters a ton because you're talking to folks across the political spectrum," DelBene said.
* Democrats believe they have effectively neutralized Republican efforts to pick up additional seats through gerrymandering in Texas, Ohio and North Carolina by gaining seats of their own in California and Utah. The Indiana Senate rejected a partisan gerrymander last month, and Democrats are still exploring whether they could pick up seats in Virginia, Illinois and Maryland. Wasserman said the post-gerrymandering landscape remains "pretty equitable to both parties.
* As Trump's approval ratings fall 39 percent of voters approve of the job he is doing, according to a Washington Post average of polls in early December Democrats are working to wipe out some of the gains he made with voter groups that are traditionally aligned with them.
