Trump’s tariff taxes are crushing small business owners like Beth Benike, Minnesota’s Small Business Person of the Year.
We’re fighting back in Congress, in the Courts, and alongside our Constituents.

Headed into the Supreme Court to watch the case on overturning Trump’s reckless tariffs, which are a $2,000 tax on families.
The Justices must follow the Constitution & the law to rule against Trump’s costly power grab.
Tens of millions of Americans – including nearly 1 million North Carolinians – are standing on the edge of a health care premium cliff.
I was joined by State Sen. Gladys Robinson and small business owner Daniel Ayers to discuss why we must prevent premiums from skyrocketing:

When talking about Democrats, Trump said, “If they don’t vote, it’s their problem.”
If Trump doesn’t sit down with Democrats and negotiate to reopen the government, he will be the problem for millions of Americans losing their food aid and paying double for health care.

Republicans slashed SNAP and Medicaid in their Big Ugly Bill so they could hand out tax breaks to the wealthiest people in our country, but now refuse to extend health care tax credits so working Americans can afford their health care.
Talk about having the wrong priorities.
The President needs to follow court orders and provide food assistance to veterans, seniors & families in need. His own administration said it would yesterday.
He must comply—and should provide SNAP in full, not just half.
The administration is hiding who is paying for Trump’s gilded ballroom.
And many of the big donors giving Trump money have a reason to … they want the administration’s signoff on their deals.
This is corruption, plain and simple.
NEW: The WH did not disclose several donors to the ballroom who have business before Trump:
▶️Jeff Yass, investor in TikTok parent company: $2.5m+ to ballroom
▶️BlackRock, trying to buy Panama Canal ports: $2.5m+
▶️Extremity Care, Medicare reimbursement issues: $2.5m
▶️Vantive, Medicare reimbursement
I met Christi, a small business owner from Eagan whose employee, a cancer survivor, is seeing his family’s health costs rise by $400 a month.
Christi helps pay for his premiums, doing everything she can to keep him insured. This is who we’re fighting for.
The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.
It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.

Health care costs are already sky-high for working families. The last thing Coloradans need is for their insurance premiums to increase by hundreds of dollars a month.
AI presents many opportunities for innovation, but there are risks that we need to address.
We need common-sense rules of the road like our bipartisan NO FAKES Act, which is even supported by Google, to protect people’s voice and image from being used in unauthorized deepfakes.
Christi runs a small business in Eagan, MN and helps pay her employee's premiums.
Now those costs are skyrocketing because Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the health care tax credits.
We must prevent these price hikes.
Donald Trump asked for clarity on yesterday’s SNAP ruling. Well the judge just provided it:

Today is November 1st. Today, 24 million families woke up to outrageous health care costs. Today, Republicans leave them behind.
Today enrollment for health insurance opens and millions of Americans including breast cancer survivors will see their premiums double.
The President needs to come to the table and work with us to extend the health care tax credits so Americans don’t lose their care.
🚨 A second judge grants a temporary restraining order requiring USDA to provide SNAP using contingency funding “as soon as possible.”
Trump has no excuse: He cannot take food assistance away from families in need.
GOOD NEWS: A judge ruled the administration is required by law to use emergency funding to provide food assistance to families in need.
Trump has no excuse to withhold food assistance. If the admin does not issue SNAP, it is purely a cruel political decision, not a legal one.
Happy Halloween!
The scariest room in the Capitol is the House Chamber .… where hundreds of Republicans disappeared 6 weeks ago… and haven't been seen since. Spooky stuff! 👻
The President will negotiate with everyone other than congressional leaders down the street.
Since the Administration is refusing to help Americans in need, we are standing by to vote for bills to ensure continued access to food assistance.
Why won’t Republicans call up these bills for a vote? They'd rather let kids go hungry than risk a vote on the Epstein files.
