Trump’s beef import plan promises lower grocery prices, but the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association says cattle markets have already fallen sharply.

After 15 years of complete Republican control, Alabama’s problems cannot credibly be blamed on a lack of Republican power. The question for voters is whether the same party that created today’s problems should be trusted to conduct its own cleanup. #RepublicansCantGovern #VoteForDemocrats25 Jul 2026 20:01 +0000at://did:plc:hmsaxea3uy2jasbuikky4v74/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrintusl6222https://bsky.app/profile/alabamablueprint.bsky.social/post/3mr4gqgq2nc2aPeople were promised that the economy would be fixed and costs would come down.
