Walmart announced shoppers will have to pay more because of Trump’s tariffs.
Local small businesses without the same capacity as a retail giant to manage costs and pass them onto consumers continue to suffer and may have to close. Trump’s unwinnable trade war poses big problems for all.

Limiting this bill’s benefits to 98% of Americans and denying them to Elon Musk and the 2% richest would cut this bill’s cost in half and protect the healthcare of millions, which the GOP would otherwise deny. (2/2)
Trump’s "one big beautiful bill" failed in our Budget Committee. Even some GOP recognized that this is an ugly lie atop a mountain of lies and dangerous trillions of additional national debt.
They’ll be back with another scheme next week, and we’ll be ready to fight. (1/2)
GOP's “Big Beautiful Bill” is full of ugly details: Trillions in added debt, billionaire tax breaks, school vouchers, cuts to health care & more.
With @housebudgetdems.bsky.social, I'm fighting against this scheme to give the richest few 310x more benefits than those making $50,000 or less a year.
With Trump, ethics rules have become purely decorative. Drain the swamp? All that is being drained is those who will buy Trump meme coins, the Qataris, and others who lavish him with gifts.
Trump’s agenda truly is Trump First.
Two fewer cars on the streets of Washington, DC as my staffers Jillian and Mark participate in #BikeToWorkDay.
Bike commuting burns calories instead of carbon, and as an active Member of the Congressional Bike Caucus, I work to improve cycling infrastructure.
Among the many horrors, Republicans snuck a $20 billion voucher scheme into their tax bill—despite voters rejecting such plans every time they’ve been on the ballot.
I opposed the GOP's shameful attempt to defund public schools and divert resources from students and teachers who need it most.
Trump is pursuing another tool of a tyrant—suspending the writ of habeas corpus—requiring the gov show good cause for imprisoning anyone.
Today, the threat is used to intimidate judges & immigrants; tomorrow, it can be wielded against political opponents, imprisoning them indefinitely w/out cause.
The Republicans all voted against my amendment to put a limit on the GOP tax bill that explodes the debt – if you earn above $400,000 a year, then we would not extend the benefits in the GOP tax bill to you.
Nope, even the richest of the rich will not be asked to pay their fair share.
The same day Trump welcomed white South Africans, he disgracefully ended protections for Afghans who worked side-by-side with our troops for decades, including some I helped resettle in Austin. Trump’s thanks for their service is to deport them to the Taliban, facing potential torture and death.
In an all-night session, lasting from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday morning, I joined Ways and Means Democrats in fighting against the GOP tax bill.
At around 6:30 am, I highlighted how those who run hedge funds pay less tax than folks who trim hedges.
Trump will accept a nearly half-billion dollar “palace in the sky” jet from the Qataris.
While the Trumps peddle their meme coin—government to the highest bidder—he tells families to limit their dolls to 2 and pencils to 5.
House Ways and Means markup of the GOP tax bill began Tuesday at 2:30pm ET, ran through the whole night and into the morning.
Republicans’ tax breaks for billionaires, blowing up the debt, and attacks on healthcare cannot be allowed to stand.
Republicans add trillions of dollars to our deficit to give those who earn more than $1 million per year 310x the benefit of those who earn $50,000 per year.
In Trump’s “golden age,” the billionaires get the gold, the rest get crumbs.
The GOP’s tax bill is an ugly lie, built on lies, atop a process that violates House rules.
Watch my opening remarks in the Ways & Means Committee about the GOP bill. Just the latest dangerous swing of the wrecking ball Trump keeps using to wreck our economy and our democracy.

What this GOP tax bill means: 310x MORE for millionaires than those making <$50,000.
@doggett.house.gov:
GOP tax bill blindsides clean energy developers--many with projects already in construction. Therefore, raising the cost of energy.
By effectively killing clean energy investments, the GOP worsens the climate crisis.

@doggett.house.gov: "The average tax cut for a taxpayer making more than $1 million a year they get 310x the average tax cut for taxpayers making less than $50K per year. I don't call that prioritizing the working class wherever you came from."
Republicans are flummoxed as I call out their efforts to hide the full impact of their tax bill gifting new tax breaks to billionaires. They voted down my objection on a party line, but the naked hypocrisy is exposed.
The circular GOP response is “it is germane because I said it is germane.”
Our tax code is full of loopholes, special advantages & privileges for the richest few and multinational corporations.
The GOP's tax bill adds more to ensure the well-connected dodge their fair share, leaving the rest of Americans to bear the burden. I'm fighting back in @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social.
