## Resource

Hour 2 - Good Tuesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: President Trump has said he plans to suspend the federal gas tax in an effort to bring down rising fuel prices across the country. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) released legislation Monday that would suspend both the 18-cent gasoline tax and the 24-cent diesel tax for 90 days. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said she would soon follow with a House bill. President Trump launched Moms.gov the day after Mother's Day. The website is a resource for pregnant mother's in the United States. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
