I asked Trump's billionaire head of the Small Business Administration a simple question: "who pays tariffs?" Her response was an insulting denial of reality.
As a former small business owner of 37 years, this is personal to me. Watch here:

Yet another horrific ICE shooting. This time in Maine. Joan Sebastian Guerrero was fatally shot, driving to work, with his 3-year-old daughter in the car.
The is the second ICE shooting in less than a week. ICE is making our communities LESS safe and must be held accountable.
Trump and Republicans in Congress have failed to prioritize the needs of everyday Americans.
We’re fighting back in Congress, in courts, and alongside our communities because your tax dollars should be used to make your life better, not on Trump’s vanity projects or tax breaks for billionaires.
It's already illegal for non-citizens to vote. The SAVE Act would instead make it harder for eligible Americans to register and vote, especially women whose current legal name does not match their birth certificate.
My former colleague from Wisconsin, Reid Ribble, co-wrote an excellent op-ed on the dangers of the SAVE Act. Reid is a Republican, and even he agrees this bill goes too far.
We cannot allow this blatant corruption to be normalized. When we're in the majority, we will investigate it and expose the full truth.

Huge news - a judge ruled Trump's $1.776 slush fund is nullified!
Trump abandoned the ceasefire with Iran → Gas prices are up → Your costs will continue to increase.
We need to end the war with Iran!
REMINDER: Medicare for All would save 68,000 lives and $450 billion a year.
Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all agree that billionaires and big corporations buying up politicians like they’re just another vacation home is simply not right.
We need to end Citizens United.
Last night, Trump fired the remaining Democratic members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission.
This is yet another step in his plan to meddle in the November election, and we will do everything we can to fight this blatant power grab.

The Trump administration is threatening to withhold federal anti-terrorism funds to states who don’t capitulate to their demands, using Americans’ safety as a bargaining chip.
Every Republican official who claims to care about public safety should condemn this immediately.
Great town hall last night in Racine, WI! We’re going to keep organizing and fighting alongside the people who deserve a government that works for them, not just the wealthy and well-connected.
Karoline Leavitt thinks that young people concerned about rising prices are being “raised with silver spoons in their mouths.”
We’re committed to putting working people first, not just those who can afford to be members of Mar-a-Lago.
If the last 18 months have shown us anything, it’s that Trump and Congressional Republicans don’t give a damn about regular people.
Costs have skyrocketed, yet Republican politicians’ top priority was handing billionaires another massive tax break.
HUGE congratulations to Barrio Dance Factory from my district on their incredible performance on America's Got Talent last night.
They are moving on to the next round, and I'll be rooting for them along the way!
We also covered the urgent need for ethics rules on the Supreme Court and the importance of banning members of Congress from trading stocks.
This week’s podcast episode is about corruption. I spoke with Donald Sherman of @citizensforethics.org about how Trump has made billions over the last 18 months through foreign deals, stock trades, and crypto.
While JD Vance is in Milwaukee today for a trip that includes a $10,000 per couple fundraiser, I’ll be in Racine, WI with fellow progressives doing a free town hall open to the public. I hope to see you there. www.mobilize.us/progressivec...
