Trump’s reckless tariffs aren’t hitting “foreign countries”—they’re slamming American small business owners with higher costs, squeezed margins, and impossible choices. Our entrepreneurs are the backbone of this country. We should be lifting them up, not taxing their dreams into the ground. op:@fightforprogress

Small business owners are getting hit from all sides as tariffs and Trump's reckless decisions are driving up costs. I came to Chilte in Phoenix to listen to business leaders about what they need. Small businesses are the backbone of this economy. I'll always fight for them.

Pres. Trump: "Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations, we should be tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enrich our citizens...Under the American first economic model, tariffs on other countries go up, taxes on American workers and businesses will come down."

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy—and Trump's tariffs are hurting them the most. Today, I was in Seattle to talk to small business owners who agree—Congress MUST REVERSE these tariffs and END this nonsense trade war.

Small business owners are not just business leaders — they are civic leaders, community leaders, mentors, and inspirations. This weekend, we celebrate our nation's small businesses and the entrepreneurs and workers who power them.

Americans are already feeling squeezed by high costs—and Trump’s tariff taxes are just making it worse. Prices are rising at the grocery store, when shopping for clothing, and for appliances and furniture. We should be lowering costs, not raising them with reckless policies.

The American people know the truth: Trump’s policies are making them sicker and poorer. Families can't keep up with the cost of groceries, healthcare, and gas because of Trump’s chaos, cruelty and corruption. Together we must fight to redeem the American dream for working families. op: @fightforprogress

Poland was very wise to not allow any Muslims enter their country! They’re protecting their families and their country! America could learn from them! I believe the Muslims should all be deported! They are not compatible with our way of life or American 🇺🇸 values!

If we’re going to impose tariffs on Mexico, let’s start tying them to the sewage they dump into our country. Every time millions of gallons of raw sewage flow into the U.S., tariffs should go up. Mexico needs to be held accountable—not rewarded—for polluting our beaches and endangering American lives.

I’ve been hearing a lot from Michiganders about tariffs—workers, business owners, and experts alike—on what they expect the impact to be. When costs go up, it hits our paychecks, our jobs, and our economy. People are speaking up about what this could mean for their families.

JUST IN: adidas warns it will raise prices on all U.S. products due to tariffs 😱📈🤦‍♂️ "Since we currently cannot produce almost any of our products in the US, these higher tariffs will eventually cause higher costs for all our products for the US market. Given the uncertainty around the negotiations between the US and the different exporting countries, we do not know what the final tariffs will be." "Cost increases due to higher tariffs will eventually cause price increases, not only in our sector, but it is currently impossible to quantify these or to conclude what impact this could have on the consumer demand for our products." >>

Any politician who is actually serious about securing the border and stopping fentanyl from coming into our country, should be publicly supporting President Trump's tariffs. The globalists attacking them are putting corporate interests ahead of the lives of American kids.

What I think the Democrats missed was this: 62% of jobs in America come from small businesses, those first, and second-generation family-run operations with 5 to 500 employees. They’re the backbone of our economy, and they’re far from clueless. They know exactly what a jump from a 21% to 28% corporate tax rate means because they’re the ones who pay it. Now, the idea of taxing unrealized capital gains? That sent a shockwave through these communities. I invest in these people. I advocate for them. For small business owners, the thought of the government taking a cut before they’ve even made a dime? That’s not the American Dream, that’s a nightmare. It’s un-American. This really struck a nerve with them, and it’s no wonder that pushback was fierce.

🚨 SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE JUST ERUPTED ON THE SENATE FLOOR He says foreigners are RUINING American schools, our kids hear nothing but endless foreign languages, and became the minority in their OWN COUNTRY "Mass migration is destroying our educational system...more and more American kids are entering the classroom, hearing multiple languages, being spoken around them every day, and having a difficult time making friends because they are now the minorities in the school" "We're having enough problems with our education system when our kids can't understand the language that the other people are speaking." "That goes with our higher education, who have teachers and professors coming from other countries that can't speak English that are teaching our kids in higher education, and our kids are paying a fortune to go to these four-year schools." "Enough's enough! This is an English language country, and that's how we speak. That's how we communicate." "The purpose of our immigration system should be to benefit hard-working American taxpayers. Do you think mass immigration is benefiting this country? Absolutely NOT!" "There's not one benefit to it. And the next is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. You know, mass immigration is a leech that is slowly bleeding this country dry, and politicians and the people across the country better open their eyes."

Our mountain communities have been hit hard by Trump's tariffs, rising energy costs, and vital federal funding. Now they're grappling with the drought and wildfires. I walked Main Street in Leadville to check in with some of our small business owners, and I heard the same story here and across my district: they are resilient, but they are being squeezed from every direction and need our support. So here's my ask: visit Leadville. Visit our mountain towns. They have always been there for us, now let's show up for them.

“We don't have to live like this. We don't have to put up with this.” Steve Hilton rips into the current Democratic leadership over rising costs for Californians, warning voters that crushing living costs and high taxes are a direct result of choices made by those in power. “We don't have to have the highest housing costs in the country.” “We don't have to have the highest gas prices in the country.” “We don't have to have the highest taxes in the country for the worst results. These are all choices. These are choices made by the people in charge.”

Villa: Small business owners are struggling because people are not going to their small businesses. The community is not going out to shop. We are seeing people who are still fearful of sending their children to school or going to pick them up. They’re relying on each other, a network that they’ve created to help with that. We are seeing grocery stores empty and volunteers having to make food runs for people in the community.
