Trump is manipulating the market by turning tariffs on and off, on and off, so that the billionaire class can make a killing. Meanwhile the majority of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. This is just the latest corrupt scam by the White House.

Wishing a peaceful Passover to everyone celebrating. May your holiday be filled with happiness and loved ones. Chag Sameach!
A snapshot of our family’s Seder family this year:
We've had enough of them exploiting families, swallowing up small businesses, and making products and services more expensive yet worse quality. So this week, we launched the Monopoly Busters Caucus in Congress to take on big corporations.
The American dream can’t only be for billionaires.
Trump told everyone to buy stocks hours before walking back tariffs yesterday. And this is the result. There's a name for this: market manipulation. And it’s illegal. He knows exactly what he's doing and will continue to play with people's money until he has everyone bending the knee.
Joined @audiecornish.bsky.social to discuss the impact of Trump's tariffs. Small businesses can’t deal with the "on again, off again" approach. They can’t plan, can’t invest, can’t hire when Trump might change his mind tomorrow or in an hour.
He has so much contempt for working people.
The SAVE Act is blatant voter suppression for tens of millions of women and trans Americans. It should terrify us all. I'm voting NO.
I will once again vote NO on the Republicans' reckless budget.
Do not let Republicans tell you they're not going to touch Social Security.
I introduced an amendment to explicitly prevent any cuts to Social Security. But every Republican on the Budget Committee voted against it. And it was defeated in the Rules Committee by the Republicans.
This is why last night Trump said "close your eyes and get there" on voting for this budget: It's a deeply harmful budget that will hurt moms and kids the most.
NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.
If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too.
We demand due process is upheld for every single person.
The waste, fraud, and abuse these people keep talking about is actually at the Pentagon which has never passed an audit. And has billions in contracts for Elon himself.
So don’t tell us there's no money for SNAP or Medicaid when the astronomical military budget keeps growing.
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee from both the House and Senate convened to hold Trump accountable for his authoritarian regime.
Republicans, who control Congress, refuse to conduct oversight on the Trump administration.
So we're doing it with or without them.
All of the signs are there for anyone to see. This administration wants to turn this country into a dictatorship. Their one goal is to find out how far the cruelty can go.
60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP
Town Hall Update!
Happy to announce I'll be hosting another town hall this spring, this time in Bellows Falls at the Opera House. Join us on Monday, April 14th, at 5:30 PM!
If you can't attend in person, you can view the livestream on Youtube.
Hope to see you there 😊
Families do not have an extra $3,800 laying around so Trump can play tariff games with other countries. This is going to be very, very painful.
Thousands of Vermonters showed up to protests in towns all over the state to tell Trump:
Hands off our rights.
Hands off our bodies.
Hands off science.
Hands off our Social Security and Medicaid.
Hands off our democracy.
Showing up matters. Because they’re counting on us to roll over and give up.
And of course by rewarding the billionaires who prop him up.
By illegally trying to stay in office.
