Donald Trump is golfing with Saudi Arabian despots while he pushes our economy toward a recession of his own making. We could be voting RIGHT NOW to reverse Trump’s tariffs and price hikes if Republicans would work with us to save the economy.

Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency. A handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the tariffs by joining with Democrats. Call your electeds and tell them.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell just introduced a bill to reassert Congress's power over tariffs. The Trade Review Act of 2025 says a president must notify Congress about new tariffs within 48 hours of imposition. It requires Congress to approve them within 60 days or they expire.

Trump's tariffs will translate into a 2.3 percentage point increase to overall inflation this year, according to new estimates from the Yale Budget Lab — or about a $3,800 impact for the average household.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses. It's the third highest monthly total on record.

If you have a Republican representing you in the House or Senate, call them to demand they undo Trump's tariffs. They're already shaken by the 20 point shift in Florida and the Wisconsin loss. You can fuel that feeling.

Trump today: "Great Depression ... would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy." Reagan, 1988: "When Congress passed the... tariff in 1930, we were told it would protect America from foreign competition... The actual result was the Great Depression."

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

HISTORY!! Cory Booker delivers the longest ever Senate speech, passing 24 hours 19 mins - speaking for a full day straight. Millions have watched his protest against Trump’s lawless administration. Some rubbish his effort. But he’s reminded us we all have agency. He took a stand. He resisted.👏

Sen. Cory Booker breaks the record for the longest Senate floor speech, passing former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 24 hr, 18 min filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. As Sen. Booker neared the record, he invoked the late Rep. John Lewis and called on the Senate to get into "good trouble."

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
