America tuned in to local news and got a 1-2 punch in the face today. First was the Walmart admission they were going to have to raise prices.

Then - Trump and the entire Republican party LIED ABOUT NEVER TOUCHING MEDICAID.

Local news is running with the CBO report that they're going cause 10.3 MILLION AMERICANS TO LOSE HEALTHCARE INSURANCE.

Then there's what they're doing to SNAP and to food stamps . . .

No surprise citizens' rights groups are spreading the word.

And there's this from Walmart - they aren't planning on just raising prices on items that cost them more due to the #trumptariffs They're planning on increasing prices on many OTHER products to "spread the pain."

No, what they're planning on doing is HIDING the real cost to you of the tariffs by making you pay more for EVERYTHING?

"that's not right," says one Missouri woman when interviewed on camera in front of a local Walmart.

"It's going to make things harder on us," says another.
