Republicans’ economic plan: 1. Use tariffs to hike up prices on food, appliances, and everyday goods. 2. Give tax handouts to the super rich. 3. Cut health care and nutrition programs Americans rely on. Sounds great for their wealthy donors... & terrible for working families.

The only “winners” of a trade war are Trump’s rich buddies who exchange political favors for protection from tariffs that you end up having to pay.

Whether Trump "guarantees" it or not, the truth is that the tariffs he is threatening WILL raise prices for the American people. That's just a fact.

"Trump's plan to deport millions of immigrants does absolutely nothing to address the core problems driving our broken immigration system," said the Joint Economic Committee Democrats chair. "Instead, all it will do is raise grocery prices, destroy jobs, and shrink the economy." commondreams.org/news/economic-…

LIVE NOW: Trump’s tariffs could cost Americans an extra $3,900 per YEAR. His disastrous tariff proposals would raise prices and shrink the U.S. economy. Watch our hearing live on the case against Trump’s tariffs: x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Constitution empowers Congress, not the president, to determine trade policy. Misusing tariffs can wreak havoc on our economy and raise costs for Americans. My opening remarks in today’s Joint Economic Committee Democrats hearing on president-elect Trump’s vow to implement massive tariff increases:

I was honored to be invited back to my old Joint Economic Committee Democrats stomping grounds as a witness for a hearing on Trump's big, dumb, and random tariffs. You can read my testimony here: jec.senate.gov/public/_cache/…

If the government shuts down military troops will not get paid. Moms, kids, & seniors will lose access to programs that help buy food. For what? Because Donald Trump & Elon Musk would rather families suffer during the holidays than govern. Terrible.

If Republicans force a shutdown, the 50,000 TSA officers keeping our skies safe and helping ensure seamless travel during the holidays will NOT be paid. Shameful. x.com/JECDems/status…

I look forward to serving as the Ranking Member of the Joint Economic Committee for the 119th Congress. Through this committee, we can build support for commonsense ways to lower costs.

NH has long fought the devastating impacts of the fentanyl crisis, including through medication-assisted treatment, the gold standard for treating opioid addiction. We cannot allow the Trump Administration to gut Medicaid and take away access to MAT. unionleader.com/news/politics/…
