Even the cost of toys will soar because of Donald Trump.
As UT Professor Suri indicates, small businesses in Austin and around the country will be hit the hardest.

I joined Texans in sending a clear message to Gov. Abbott, Trump and GOP enablers: we won't stay silent as they wreck our public schools with vouchers/tax credits to shift public resources into private academies & dismantle federal aid to education.
When public education wins, democracy wins!
More casually cruel “fire first, then aim” nonsense from the Trump Musk team.
What Trump's tariffs mean for Central Texans and small businesses:
-Higher costs on food, houses, cars & more
-Job layoffs and lower wages
-Unstable 401k plans
As families suffer economically due to Trump's trade war, he's golfing this weekend while Republicans stay silent.
As more strongmen around the world seek to coerce the weak, we must not allow Trump, the Great Appeaser, to wave a white flag of surrender to Putin, abandon allies, and destroy the defensive alliance in an act of disastrous betrayal that would endanger us all. (2/2)
NATO was established 76 years ago to safeguard freedom and democracy against the dictatorship of the Soviet Union. (1/2)
Trump is single-handedly raising prices on new and used cars with his trade war.
I spoke to CBS Austin about my opposition to, as Mike Pence notes, the largest tax hike in US history, one that hits ordinary Americans in their pocketbooks.
As markets crash (biggest single drop since March 2020 from COVID), as grocery prices rise, as trillions of dollars are knocked off the value of the companies with fears of a recession, all you hear from Republicans is silence.
If only a few Republicans worked with Dems, we could end this madness.
Joining Alice Yi and Asian Texans for Justice to speak out against Texas Senate Bill 17, restricting real estate purchases by some noncitizens.
Unjustifiably increasing the power of AG Ken Paxton, this is just another form of xenophobic, anti-immigrant hysteria fueled by Trump.
With the markets in freefall from Trump's tariff trade war, the Republicans have ensured we all live in Red States now.
When this tax hits consumers, more families will be pushed into the red too.
You may have heard that Trump’s tariffs hit all nations, friend and foe alike. Not quite.
He levied no tariffs on Russia. He did target Ukraine.
Just the latest Trump favor for his pal Putin. Instead of billions in imports, we should have none from Russia.
With his scheme to wreck our democracy already well underway, Trump now turns his wrecking ball to our economy.
With his “shoot first, aim second” tariff policy sparking international retaliation, he is a one-man crusade to sink our country, perhaps the world, deep into recession.
“Liberation Day”
Trump liberates dollars from your wallet to pay for his tariff tax hike.
He liberates some small business owners from their businesses as costs surge from his new tariffs.
Trump has a tariff for all the world and higher taxes to be paid by all Americans.
The president promised to drastically lower prices on day one; he’s done the opposite and hit families with a new round of tariff taxes.
Trump has spent $40 MILLION so far to jail 400 migrants at Guantánamo Bay = $100,000 PER MIGRANT.
A staggeringly cruel, inefficient use of taxpayer dollars.
In search of waste, Elon Musk seems to have overlooked a big one.
We must simplify our tax code to help those willing to work for more education but who may need financial aid to get there.
My bipartisan bill would make Pell Grants entirely tax-free and expand eligibility to cover childcare costs. Every student deserves a shot at success.
Elon Musk may think democracy is for sale, but the people of Wisconsin would not be bought.
An important victory in our ongoing effort to protect our democracy from the forces of fascism.
Speaker Johnson claims proxy voting is unconstitutional. He's done it 39 times.
Now, he's embarrassed that nine Republicans joined all Democrats to allow new moms and fathers to vote by proxy.
His response? Throw a fit and cancel votes for the week.
The Trump admin admitted it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to an El Salvador mega prison—detained after his shift as a sheet metal worker.
Now they claim they can't bring him back, and worse, they're urging a judge to reject his family's petition to bring him home.
This is cruelly racist.
Trump fired thousands of public servants by abruptly disabling badges and turning them away as they arrived at work.
Consequences will be catastrophic for all Americans as Trump cuts federal employees overseeing innovative medical research, food/drug safety, the administration of Medicare & more.
