The president’s reckless tariff taxes are decreasing the supply of essential goods that small businesses need for their products—which is driving up prices on American consumers.

The president’s reckless tariff taxes drove up prices and closed critical markets for American farmers.
After announcing a “deal” with China, “there’s little evidence that China plans to follow through on its purchase commitments of U.S. soybeans.”

The nation saw the pain that families faced when SNAP funding was withheld by the administration during the Republican shutdown.
Now, millions of families are about to lose benefits permanently thanks to the president’s Big Ugly Bill.
www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
American families from the heartland to the coasts are pleading for bipartisan reforms that will lower housing costs in communities across the country.
Rep. Flood and I have a solution:

As the president slashes investments in cheap renewable energy, utility bills are rising, and American families are falling behind.
Rather than doing the bidding of his Big Oil donors, the president should focus on lowering energy costs for families.

“Those losses can affect whole communities, not just the particular patients who rely on Medicaid; patients with private insurance will also lose access to services…And the costs of health insurance could go up as hospitals try to squeeze more dollars from the patients who are still paying”
When the G.O.P. Medicaid Cuts Arrive, These Hospitals Will Be Hit Hardest www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...
Today, I voted to release the Epstein Files.
My full statement here:
Every American is being harmed by the Republican Health Care Crisis, including seniors on Medicare.
That’s why Democrats are fighting to extend ACA tax credits and reverse health care cuts included in the president’s Big Ugly Bill.

“Wholesale prices for a turkey have jumped 40% from a year ago”
“Beef prices are nearly 15% higher than they were last year”
Thanks to the president’s reckless policies, Americans will pay substantially more for their Thanksgiving meals this year.

The president spent trillions of dollars extending tax breaks for the wealthiest 1% and handed a $40 billion bailout to Argentina.
But he refuses to extend ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care.
It’s cruel and callous.

If the president will not uphold his promise to release the Epstein Files, then Congress must.
Today, I look forward to voting to release the Epstein Files, bringing justice to the survivors and truth to the American people.
I hope that my colleagues in the Senate will do the same.
After months of warnings that tariff taxes would drive up costs on essential goods and groceries, that’s exactly what we’re seeing in communities across the country.
Instead of trying to deny this reality, the administration should work with Congress to lower costs for hardworking families.
America’s partnerships with other premier intelligence agencies around the world help keep our communities safe.
The administration’s reckless and lawless actions are threatening these critical relationships.

The president’s extreme mass deportation policies are diverting resources away from critical efforts to combat child sex trafficking, terrorism financing, human smuggling.
It’s making America less safe.

When given the option between supporting American families or benefiting corporate interests, this president will always choose to enrich giant corporations.
Another example here:

As Republican policies continue to drive up health care costs for American families, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to extend ACA tax credits that lower costs for the people.
We only need 4 Republicans to join us in that fight.

The power brokers in Washington who drew the new Missouri map do not understand, or care about, our communities.
Their partisan power grab will not benefit anyone but extreme politicians—which is why the people don’t support it.
apnews.com/article/redi...
The administration’s attempt to erase the sacrifices & achievements of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history is outrageous & deeply offensive.
These heroes deserve our respect and gratitude.
The administration should restore these honors NOW.
www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...
Tariffs drive up prices and make it harder for American businesses to sell products abroad.
I'm glad to see tariff taxes may be reduced on food and essential goods, but the President should just admit his tariff policies are wrong and hurting Americans.
