While Trump behaves like a bull in a china shop with the global economy, everyday Americans continue paying the price of his disastrous economic policy.

As the President recommits to his tariff agenda, let's not lose sight of this one pesky fact - they have miserably failed at eliminating the U.S. trade deficit.
"The U.S. trade deficit in goods rose to a record high of $1.24 trillion in 2025, driven by a 4.3% increase in goods imports, according to data published Thursday by the Census Bureau."
The last thing this country needs right now is another war in the Middle East that would add trillions to the national debt while putting countless lives at risk. That’s why I proudly co-sponsored H.Con.Res. 38, an Iran War Powers Resolution to prevent U.S. military action.
In light of the U.S. military buildup within striking distance of Iran, it is imperative that the War Powers Act be honored.
No president has the authority to unilaterally use military force without the approval of Congress.
Team USA brings out the best in young people and gives all Americans something to root for.
I am immensely proud of the men and women who brought home the gold and made history in Milan!
To all of the athletes who competed in this year's games, rest assured that you made us proud.

It’s past time for comprehensive reform that reflects our values – fairness, due process, and dignity. We can be both a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants.
The public is making it clear that cruelty is not immigration policy and Americans don't want a federal police force that acts with no accountability.

When working families can’t save, it’s because costs are too high and paychecks aren’t keeping up. We need an economy that works for working people – not one rigged for the top.
The lowest savings rate since 2008 doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
Trump and the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill, tax breaks for the wealthy, and tariff chaos that raised prices have made life more expensive for everyday Americans.
The safety of American service members and global stability cannot hinge on impulsive brinksmanship. And let’s be clear: the president dos not have legal authority to take this nation to war with Iran. The Constitution is explicit – Congress decides when America goes to war.
Ten-day ultimatums make headlines. Serious foreign policy requires coalition-building, strategy, and congressional oversight.

Unchecked trade wars hurt working families, raise costs, and create chaos for businesses. We need steady leadership and respect for the rule of law, not unilateral overreach from Donald Trump. SCOTUS got this one right.
Read my full statement below:
Americans have been shouldering the costs of Trump’s tariffs.
Today’s ruling is a reminder that the Constitution gives Congress – not the White House - the power over tariffs.
There’s always a tweet.
The American people deserve transparency, oversight, and accountability. Full stop.
