Politics isn’t just grand speeches it’s also about the day-to-day stuff that affects people’s lives. Dismissing grocery talk like it’s small potatoes misses the point.

Exactly. Tariffs are just hidden taxes we all end up paying. Combine that with GOP tax cuts for the wealthy and exploding debt, and it’s working Americans who get squeezed the hardest.
