The Trump administration acknowledged it wrongfully deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the administration must bring him home. All White House efforts to defy this order are contemptuous, anti-Constitutional, and flat out anti-American.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Direct File, a prime example of making government more efficient, gave Americans an easy and free option to file their taxes. But Donald Trump cares more about his wealthy friends than working Americans so he wants to kill the program and make filing taxes harder. apnews.com/article/irs-...

Trump administration plans to end the IRS Direct File program for free tax filing, AP sources say

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the IRS’ Direct File program. That's the electronic system for filing tax returns directly to the agency for free.

"You are blasting nearly every product from nearly every country with these tariffs, Senator Tillis called it ‘a trade war on all fronts.’ It hurts our alliances, it is hurting our economy, it hurts our ability to make and keep free trade agreements." www.wcnc.com/article/mone...

Tillis on tariff policy: 'Whose throat do I get to choke if this proves to be wrong?'

"I'm waiting to see it be successful," Tillis said. "But it just seems to me we've decided to begin a trade war on all fronts."

"Trump is risking our economy to bring back factory jobs that pay far less than jobs in fast-growing sectors like health care, clean energy, or data science. Howard Lutnick is on TV raving about shifting Americans to work on “screwing in little screws to make iPhones.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

"Trump declared a phony national emergency and imposed tariffs on Canada to punish them for ‘fentanyl smuggling.’ Our own government says smuggling at the northern border is less than 1% of our fentanyl problem. How does Canada get out of tariffs for something we admit they’re not doing?"

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 11(source)

"Trump hinted that maybe if countries lower tariffs on us he might drop tariffs on them. But Vietnam massively cut their tariffs on the U.S. to appease Trump ahead of his announcement. We you slapped a 46% tariff on them anyway. So what are the Vietnamese supposed to do?"

Take our trade deficit with Madagascar. "We buy most of our vanilla from Madagascar, but they have one of the lowest GDP-per-capita rates in the world, and they just can’t afford many of our products. We just hit them with a 47% tariff." www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Trump claims countries are 'cheating' the U.S. on trade. What does that mean?

“Trump logic equates any trade deficit with ‘cheating..." But even this stupid logic didn’t help Australia or Brazil or Singapore, all countries with whom we have a trade surplus. How does Australia negotiate an end to a trade deficit that doesn’t exist?" bsky.app/profile/atru...

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

"Trump exempted some goods – notably oil – but not others, including things we simply cannot produce in the United States. Why tariff bananas? Why tariff cocoa? Why tariff coffee? We don’t have the capacity to produce these things at a scale that meets domestic demand."

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 11(source)

Today the Ways and Means Committee had a hearing on Trump's idiotic trade policy. I told his U.S. Trade Representative: that policy is "stupid and bad." It's such a disaster that shortly after this Trump suspended his latest tariffs hours after they took effect. youtube.com/shorts/R-kiT...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govApr 11(source)

Congress must stop the madness. I joined @replindasanchez.bsky.social and @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social colleagues to introduce legislation to repeal Trump’s latest tariffs and bar any future tariffs without congressional approval. Congress must act before Trump causes a recession— time is short.

Uncertainty is growing on Main Street as tariffs roil the economy and the Trump administration moves to cut small business programs.

Members of Congress must serve their constituents, not their own financial interests. We need a stock trading ban on Congress, and I cosponsored legislation to do it.

House Republicans just voted to cut health care, cut school lunches, and cut veterans' benefits — all to hand $7 trillion in tax breaks to Elon Musk and his billionaire friends. They've deserted their hardworking constituents to help the rich get richer.
