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.

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:
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.

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.

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.

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…

What’s fueling inflation? Fuel.

The final CPI report before the midterms reflects soaring energy costs that are trickling down into “just about everything.”

Endless cash for foreign wars and White House vanity projects. No money for healthcare or childcare. This is Trump’s America.

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.

Trump: "I am profiting." Clearly. He’s making billions thanks to the UAE buying his crypto scam and real estate deals in Saudi Arabia. And he’s flying around on a new plane gifted from Qatar. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling and can’t afford housing or healthcare.
