You’re on Recess, My Costs Are Exploding! HELP US!

While Congress is on recess, working families like mine are being crushed by the rising cost of living. • Car insurance is up 56%. • Public transportation costs are up 14%. • Grocery prices have jumped 17% since 2022. This isn’t just bad luck or market forces—it’s a direct result of failed policies. And Congress has the power, and the responsibility, to fix it. Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs are still driving up the cost of everything from furniture to food. Meanwhile, big corporations are using inflation as cover to jack up prices and rake in record profits. That’s not just unfair—it’s price gouging. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jan Schakowsky have introduced the Price Gouging Prevention Act to address this crisis. It would empower the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to crack down on corporate profiteering. That bill is already sitting in Congress. You could pass it today. You also have the authority to repeal Trump’s unchecked power to impose tariffs, which triggered this spike in the first place. Both of these actions would bring meaningful relief to millions of Americans. But that relief can’t come if Congress is on vacation. You were elected to represent us—not abandon us. End the recess. Get back to work. Pass the Price Gouging Prevention Act. Repeal Trump’s tariff authority. Do your job. Please, fight for the American people. We need you NOW!
