The SAVE Act is a key part of the Trump administration's plan to manipulate election rules and take away the people's power to decide election outcomes. https://ampr.gs/4rMkcpS

Infographic titled "COSTS OF WAR IN IRAN." A jagged red arrow points upward against a grayscale photo of high-voltage power lines. Large text highlights that 1/5th of global liquid natural gas trade is halted, warning that rising natural gas prices will lead to higher electricity bills.
As Trump's reckless war with Iran drags on, Americans will see their electricity bills climb higher and higher.
A graphic juxtaposing a social media post with a news headline. A screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) dated March 8, 2026. The text reads: "Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY! President DJT" The phrase "a very small price to pay for U.S.A." is highlighted in yellow. Below it, a screenshot of a New York Times headline that reads: "Oil Prices Spike Over $110 a Barrel, Highest Since Pandemic. The jump was a sign of growing concern that the war in the Middle East will take a toll on energy supplies." The words "Oil Prices Spike" are highlighted in yellow. The background is a photograph of people pumping fuel into their cars at a gas station. Sources: Truth Social, The New York Times (2026), and Getty Images. The Center for American Progress logo is in the bottom right corner.
President Trump's war of choice in Iran is already costing the American people. As this conflict continues—possibly for weeks—people will see their fuel and electricity costs spike even more.
Infographic titled "COSTS OF WAR IN IRAN." A red upward-trending arrow overlays a black-and-white photo of a gas station. Text states that 1/5th of global oil supply has been halted, potentially increasing gasoline prices by $0.66 per gallon. Source: Center for American Progress.
Americans at the gas pump are already feeling the cost of President Trump's war with Iran.
President Trump's war of choice in Iran promises to be a strategic disaster that risks long-term instability, with no clear strategy to mitigate Iran’s incentive for nuclear weaponization or establish a pathway to democracy. https://ampr.gs/3OOPA8F

While the rest of the world moves toward digital sovereignty, the Trump administration's DOD made an unprecedented and likely illegal move to terminate its contract with Anthropic. @rightsduff.bsky.social explains:
It will take years, not months, to see the full effect of the Trump administration's policies on our economy, but the immediate negative impacts are already apparent and will only balloon with time. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/immigrants-make-the-labor-market-great/
A "BREAKING" news graphic from the Center for American Progress titled, "In just the past few days, we’ve seen 3 of the top 10 largest single-day increases in average diesel prices going back to 2005." A table lists ten dates, the average diesel price, and the daily increase in cents. Three dates from March 2026 are highlighted with yellow circles: March 3, 2026: $3.985 (+ 13.70¢) March 4, 2026: $4.107 (+ 12.20¢) March 2, 2026: $3.848 (+ 10.80¢) Other dates on the list include several from March 2022, one from September 2013, and one from February 2005. The largest increase shown is 22.20¢ on March 4, 2022. The source is cited as @GasBuddyGuy on X, dated March 5, 2026.
Americans are already bearing the costs of Trump's war of choice in Iran. ⛽ 📈

New CAP analysis of the February 2026 employment report shows that President Trump’s promises to native-born workers have yet to materialize while reduced immigration is poised to have a negative effect overall on employment and wages in the long run. https://ampr.gs/4d7cxhb

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
In starting a war with Iran, President Trump and his administration have knowingly put service members in harm’s way, inflicted suffering on innocent civilians, and left the American people to bear the financial burden of this needless conflict. https://ampr.gs/3OOPA8F

Trump's "Golden Age of America."
Trump’s economy has ruined the job market - everyone feels it.
All while his tariff policy raises prices, his war in Iran is costing us more at the pump, and him, his family, and billionaires get richer.
So much for a golden age.
Recent events with the DOD and AI lab Anthropic have marked a watershed moment for the independence of private AI companies and have made clear that the use of these tools for warfare and surveillance is not a question of if but, rather, when. https://ampr.gs/4r8Jnle
The president's primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of American citizens—he has failed. We must hold President Trump and Secretary Hegseth accountable for the deaths of the first six U.S. soldiers killed in the war with Iran.
It is clear that the Trump administration seems intent on manipulating election rules and taking away the power of the American people to decide the outcomes of elections—the SAVE America Act is one key part of this plan. https://ampr.gs/4rMkcpS
