The President of the United States, who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution has declared war on our third largest city. This is not funny. This is dangerous. Every American must denounce it.

Delighted to announce Congressman and Meteorologist @ericsorensen.bsky.social has endorsed my candidacy for Congress in Virginia's First Congressional District. He is the first current Member of Congress to publicly endorse a candidate in this race. Many thanks for his work and his support!
It amazes me how many Republicans walk in Labor Day Parades, taking credit for their support of the labor movement when all their votes in office show otherwise. The American people know better!
I have reached out to Bishop Malloy of the Rockford Diocese and Bishop Tylka of the Peoria Diocese to offer my condolences and support to every parishioner. We must move forward together with a resolution of peace and purpose in a time when hate has caused so much violence. 2/2
Good morning to everyone but Patrick. (Little known fact, if I was born 12 hours earlier on March 17th, I would’ve been named Patrick. (But I wouldn’t have thought I was smart enough to do all the world’s research for myself.))
Trump’s mastered his own art of the deal: failing. The meeting in Alaska was a dog and pony show. And the Press Conference where details were given and questions answered? Nothing. Putin got everything from his red carpet visit to the U.S. and Ukraine and America got nothing. Trump is a failure.
But wait! Now countries are enacting retaliatory tariffs. That means that goods we make in America are worth much less when we need to sell them overseas! (Farmers, that’s especially you.) So in the end, we all have much less money to spend on more expensive shoes! See how this doesn’t work? 4/4
But most likely, you’ll also have to raise the price at the store and hope people will still buy your shoes. Since a tariff is a tax, the American consumer will have to pay a lot more on a lot of things. 3/4
You could go to your manufacturer and tell them you’re not going to pay them as much. (But they won’t care because the rest of the world will still pay them fifty bucks.) You could try to cut your own profit margin by laying off workers or lowering the quality for the same product. 2/4
Welcome to Day #1 of Trump’s Tariffs! Say you own a company that sells shoes. And to keep them affordable, you have them made in Vietnam and pay $50 for each pair. As of today, you’ll now owe $10 more to the U.S. Federal Government for every pair. 1/4
