Trump won't listen to working families, scientists, or economists, but he'll listen to a crashing stock market. Reversal of most of his “beautiful” tariffs offers hope to avoid the worst disasters. But chaos and uncertainty destroy stability, impede business investment & wreck relations with allies.

How does Trump’s U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador defend the indefensible tariffs that are causing trillions of losses and crashing the markets?
He doesn’t. He largely just refuses to answer my questions instead.
Central Texans don't need higher prices. But Republicans are forcing you to pay more for everyday items with their support of Trump's new tariff tax.
Families are already strained on their budgets, and now, Trump's self-inflicted trade war makes it so much worse.
Trump promised to lower prices on day one, but the only thing he is cutting is innovative research for new treatments and cures.
My remarks on the need to stop the destruction of the research funded through the National Institutes of Health and to rein in the actual waste: monopoly drug prices.
Musk promotes lies to undermine Social Security and stir up anti-immigrant hysteria.
Only immigrants with work authorization receive SSNs so they can pay into the system, helping support Americans in retirement. An SSN does not allow you to vote, give you citizenship, or entitle you to benefits.
Trump’s pal Putin, for whom he never has a harsh word, whose propaganda he repeats, who faced no Trump tariffs, launched a missile at a playground murdering nine Ukrainian children—the worst Russian attack on juveniles since the full-scale invasion began.
Both have children’s blood on their hands.
Latest Senate GOP budget proposal adds $6 trillion + to our national debt—borrowing more to pad wallets of billionaires. A cost greater than the American Rescue Plan, CARES Act, 2017 Trump Tax Scam & Infrastructure Law combined.
Same GOP who says growing national debt endangers national security.
Trump and his Stalinist redaction team strike again—attempting to diminish Harriet Tubman's legacy from our national parks.
He and his enablers will fail. We will preserve truth, honor, and the heroes, like Harriet Tubman, who shaped it.
Another Texas child dies from vaccine ignorance—measles can kill and continues to spread as hundreds of cases are reported.
Meanwhile, some vaccine clinics are closing and health workers are laid off from Trump/Musk cuts. This is all preventable. Get your family vaccinated now.
Trump and his Republican “brain trust” are creating new millionaires and small businesses—unfortunately, they were originally billionaires and large businesses prior to his election. Red states and blue, we are all "tariff-ied"
Over 3 million undergraduate students in the US are also parents—nearly 1 in 5 students. Access to affordable childcare can be the difference for them to complete a degree program or not.
My bill makes Pell Grants entirely tax-free and expands eligibility to cover childcare costs. 👇
Fitting that Netanyahu would depart from visiting Viktor Orban in Hungary to meet with Trump in Washington – an all-around world tour of wanna be authoritarians of a kind resisting any form of accountability. All three are consulting the same "attack democracy" playbook to muzzle all opposition.
As Trump and his GOP enablers drive the world economy into the ditch, teeing up the largest market crash since COVID, out of touch and oblivious Trump brags about his weekend golf “win” at his own tournament.
With markets and grocery prices off course, Trump is AWOL. Par for the course.
Even the cost of toys will soar because of Donald Trump.
As UT Professor Suri indicates, small businesses in Austin and around the country will be hit the hardest.
I joined Texans in sending a clear message to Gov. Abbott, Trump and GOP enablers: we won't stay silent as they wreck our public schools with vouchers/tax credits to shift public resources into private academies & dismantle federal aid to education.
When public education wins, democracy wins!
More casually cruel “fire first, then aim” nonsense from the Trump Musk team.
What Trump's tariffs mean for Central Texans and small businesses:
-Higher costs on food, houses, cars & more
-Job layoffs and lower wages
-Unstable 401k plans
As families suffer economically due to Trump's trade war, he's golfing this weekend while Republicans stay silent.
As more strongmen around the world seek to coerce the weak, we must not allow Trump, the Great Appeaser, to wave a white flag of surrender to Putin, abandon allies, and destroy the defensive alliance in an act of disastrous betrayal that would endanger us all. (2/2)
NATO was established 76 years ago to safeguard freedom and democracy against the dictatorship of the Soviet Union. (1/2)
Trump is single-handedly raising prices on new and used cars with his trade war.
I spoke to CBS Austin about my opposition to, as Mike Pence notes, the largest tax hike in US history, one that hits ordinary Americans in their pocketbooks.
