Non-strategic tariffs — like blanket tariffs on all Mexican products — generally raise prices for Americans without creating jobs.
Raising the price of Mexican coffee doesn’t create coffee jobs in Texas or Nebraska. Because coffee doesn’t grow here.

For example, Democrats made HUGE investments in American manufacturing through the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act, boosting the steel industry.
Tariffs on steel imports + pro-worker manufacturing investment = strengthened union steel jobs.
Strategic tariffs are sometimes needed to protect essential industries — and they're effective when paired with pro-worker investments in those industries.
But since Trump & Musk want to defund federal programs alongside their tariffs, they’re gonna make a mess.
You’re going to hear a ton of “tariffs are good!” vs. “tariffs are bad!” arguments this year.
Here’s the truth: tariffs are an important and sometimes necessary tool.
But Trump uses them in the dumbest and most corrupt ways. 🧵⬇️
Trump illegally fired 17 independent public servants whose job is to expose corruption.
One was investigating Trump’s newest billionaire buddy, Elon Musk.
Republican officials & billionaires are colluding to break the law & create the most corrupt administration in history.
My full conversation with @npr.org’s @steveinskeep.bsky.social here:

Republican officials are lying but their story is simple: “Your problems are caused by immigrants, or people who look and live differently.”
I spoke with @npr.org about how Democrats can fight back and unite people around winning a raise at work:
This is general guidance to keep our community informed, not legal advice.
🚨➡️ SWIPE RIGHT
We all have rights under the U.S. Constitution. It’s important to know your rights and be prepared.
Esta es una guía general para mantener informada a nuestra comunidad, no un asesoramiento legal.
🚨➡️ DESLIZA A LA DERECHA:
Todos tienen derechos bajo la constitución de los Estados Unidos. Es muy importante conocer sus derechos y estar preparado.

Texas teachers are severely underpaid and unsupported.
It's why 68% of teachers & school staff are considering leaving their jobs, according to a new @texasaft.org survey.
We can't count on state "leaders" like Abbott. Congress must invest more in our teachers, schools, & students.
Trump shut off Medicaid & was forced to turn it back on.
But he'll keep pushing his order to shut off federal programs. He wants to take meals from seniors, pre-K from kids, & jobs from veterans.
All so he can give billionaires a tax break.
We must unite to stop Trump.

🚨 MIRA ESTE VIDEO:
Podría haber redadas en nuestra comunidad. Todos, documentados e indocumentados, tienen derechos bajo la constitución de los Estados Unidos.
Es muy importante conocer sus derechos y estar preparado.

On his first day, Trump showed us exactly who he’s serving: a handful of the richest people on Earth.
The Progressive Caucus will fight against Trump selling our government to his billionaire buddies.
But fighting Trump is not enough. We need to fight FOR working people.
WATCH: The Congressional Progressive Caucus Responds to Pro-Billionaire, Anti-Worker Trump Agenda
Fifteen years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations & billionaires like Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk can spend infinite amounts in elections to buy influence.
Citizens United must be overturned so our democracy works for working Americans, not the 1%.
Los medios dicen que San Antonio podría ser el objetivo de las redadas de inmigración de Trump esta semana. Recuerda:
1) Tienes derechos básicos (abajo).
2) Trump dirá que va tras criminales. Es un mentiroso. Nosotros como Tejanos deberíamos cuidarnos unos a otros.
