Trump's tariffs are RAISING prices for Americans and putting our economy, small businesses, and families' retirement savings at stake. I joined Senator Rosen & others to demand the Trump admin immediately reverse course on these sweeping tariffs & put an end to this chaotic trade war.
Congress has the power to reverse Trump's reckless tariffs. We are the check on Presidential power. We are the kill switch for Trump’s trade war. The question is, will Republicans finally stand up to Trump & vote with Democrats to end the chaos?
No, the President actually does not decide how tax dollars are spent. Congress does. It would be good if we had an Attorney General who focused on understanding the law rather than groveling and reciting lies to score points with the President. What an embarrassing spectacle.
Pam Bondi brazenly lies, tells Trump that he was "overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority" and says "you have the authority to determine how the money of this country will be spent."
Trump's tariffs are a massive tax that YOU will pay. That means higher prices and serious pain for families and small businesses across our country. Repost if you agree Republicans need to join Democrats and vote to END the chaos & REVERSE these reckless tariffs.
House Republicans passed their budget blueprint. If you're a billionaire, then this is great news! But if you're anybody else, they're leaving you worse off. If you don't agree with that—NOW is the time to get LOUD.
Trump's 10% tariffs on the world & 145% on China will still RAISE COSTS & CRUSH small businesses—not to mention the threat of more tariffs hanging over our economy like a ticking time bomb. Trump is running our economy into the ground and we're headed straight for a GOP recession.
BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their pro-billionaire, anti-middle-class budget blueprint. While Trump's tariffs raise costs for families, Republicans are full steam ahead on their plan to cut programs like Medicaid & SNAP to hand out more tax cuts to billionaires.
Guess what? A 10% tariff on the world is STILL a MAJOR blow to small businesses and consumers. And raising tariffs on China to 125% with NO PLAN is a recipe for disaster. Small businesses like grocery stores run on thin margins. Congress NEEDS to reverse these tariffs.
Trump turning tariffs on and off like a two-year-old with a light switch has already hit our economy hard. We can't live like this, and businesses can't make serious investment decisions in this kind of environment. Congress MUST reassert itself over the power to tariff.
While Trump's tariffs push us toward a recession—Republicans are holding a hearing about...Daylight Saving Time? I am the BIGGEST supporter of making DST permanent, but the Senate should be focused on passing @cantwell.senate.gov & @wyden.senate.gov's bills to STOP these tariffs.
Let me be clear: Trump's tariffs are a TAX that the American people will pay on everything they buy. Trump's tariffs are pushing us toward a painful recession. Don't forget: Republicans joined Trump last week to cheer and clap for his tariffs.
Just a reminder: Congress could reverse these insane tariffs TODAY. Republicans are just choosing not to. Every Republican in Congress who refuses to do something is endorsing Trump's tax hike on YOU.
Saying NIH does lifesaving research is not hyperbole—it's fact. Natalie from WA state is waiting to start a trial for colorectal cancer but is now worried about the very real possibility that Trump & Elon's reckless cuts will halt or significantly delay the care she needs.
Americans pay into Social Security for their entire careers. Social Security belongs to the people—not an unelected billionaire who is recklessly breaking the program to its very core and jeopardizing YOUR benefits. Elon needs to get his hands off Social Security!
Retirees and disabled people are facing chronic website outages and other access problems as they attempt to log in to their online Social Security accounts, even as they are being directed to do more of their business with the agency online.
Trump promised to lower costs for families—now he's doing the complete opposite. His tariffs are the biggest tax increase since World War II—costing the average American family an extra $4,000 a year.  Trump & Republicans are wrecking our economy for NO reason—it has to stop.
