President Trump's tariffs and threats of more have paralyzed our economy. Global businesses are afraid to invest in America, and who can blame them? That's why my colleagues and I introduced a resolution to end Trump’s reckless global tariffs. All my colleagues should join us.
Our country faces many challenges right now. One of the best ways we can make a difference is by staying informed, staying connected, and speaking out. I’m looking forward to doing all those with you on Bluesky.
