Trump's retreat from tariffs on coffee, bananas, and other groceries is an admission that his trade wars are driving prices up for the American people. That is still just as true for the thousands of other goods he's keeping tariffs on! beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Administration Admits Tariffs And Trade War Chaos Are Driving Up Prices

Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA), who serves on the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade and recently joined Reps. Ro Khanna (D-A), Don Bacon (R-NE), and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) in introducing the bipartisan No Coffee Tax Act to repeal President Trump’s coffee tariffs, issued the following statement on the Trump Administration’s repeal of its own tariffs on goods including coffee and other food items:

“President Trump is finally admitting what we always knew: his tariffs are raising prices for the American people.

“After getting drubbed in recent elections because of voters’ fury that Trump has broken his promises to fix inflation, the White House is trying to cast this tariff retreat as a ‘pivot to affordability.’ The simple truth is that Republicans want credit for something they think the Supreme Court will force them to do anyway, after oral arguments before the Court on Trump’s illegal abuses of trade authorities went badly for the Administration. Trump is still keeping the vast majority of his tariffs in place, and his administration is also planning new tariffs in anticipation of a Supreme Court loss.

“The same logic – that Trump’s tariffs are driving up prices on coffee, fruit, and other comestibles – is equally true for the thousands of other goods on which his tariffs remain. While this move may alleviate some of the cost increases Trump caused, it will not stop the larger problems of rising inflation, business uncertainty, and economic damage done by Trump’s crazy tariff scheme. Only Congress can do that, by reclaiming its legal responsibility under the Constitution to regulate trade, and permanently ending Trump’s trade war chaos.

“All but a handful of Republicans in Congress are still refusing to stand up to Trump, sto…

Jeffrey Epstein, in newly released email, says Trump ‘knew about the girls’

The convicted sex offender’s correspondence was released along with other documents by House Oversight Dems.

Trump shows little interest in health care or lowering prices but today Jeffrey Epstein's emails were released including one in which Epstein said Trump "knew about the girls" and now Trump is personally making calls to Republicans in Congress to prevent release of the files.

This afternoon, the House will be voting on legislation that fails to protect Americans from skyrocketing health care costs and the Trump Administration's lawlessness. I will be voting NO. The American people deserve real solutions. This legislation fails to deliver that.

Prices are not that high and are already coming down, Trump administration officials argued today, amid mounting outrage at the affordability of everyday goods.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 12(source)

Republicans refused to fund tax credits to prevent Americans' health care costs, but they snuck in a provision that will give Republican Senators millions of dollars in taxpayer money. They won't help you, but they'll take your money for themselves. This stinks to high heaven.

Beyer Statement On Senate Republicans’ Proposed Continuing Resolution

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 10(source)

The American people deserve responsible legislation that ends the shutdown, prevents skyrocketing increases in health care costs, ensures our public servants receive the pay and protections they are legally owed, and upholds the Constitution. 6/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 10(source)

But the larger legislation remains deeply flawed. In addition to not addressing the health care affordability crisis, it fails to address President Trump’s illegal infringement upon Congress’s constitutional authority over federal spending or rein in his administration’s lawlessness. 5/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 10(source)

This legislation includes provisions to reverse recent RIFs, reinstate federal workers who were wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and prevent further RIFs through January 30. Should this continuing resolution become law, these protections must be rigorously enforced. 4/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 10(source)

President Trump prolonged the shutdown and intentionally made it worse for the American people. He illegally fired public servants, illegally withheld government assistance that helps millions buy groceries, and threatened to deny federal employees the back pay they are legally owed. 3/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 10(source)

I have said from the beginning that my goal is to end the shutdown in a way that protects Americans from skyrocketing health care costs, and this bill fails that test. 2/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 10(source)

The Senate’s proposed continuing resolution, which would extend current levels of government funding through January 30 while failing to address the expiration of critical health care tax credits under the Affordable Care Act that help millions of Americans afford health insurance. 1/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govNov 10(source)

I will be voting no on the proposed continuing resolution in the U.S. House. Republican leaders have turned their backs on Americans facing rising health care costs and refuse to address the affordability crisis their own policies created. My statement:

During Trump’s shutdown, ICE oversight staff were furloughed—leaving detention facilities uninspected & lives at risk. At least 20 people have died in ICE custody this year. @markwarner.bsky.social, @beyer.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, & I are demanding DHS reinstate them now.

"I don't want to hear about affordability." Says the president who promised to lower costs on Day 1. 60% of households are unable to afford the basics — and he just doesn’t care.
