Is anyone surprised that hardworking American families have been footing the bill for Trump’s tariffs? You can thank Trump for the higher prices you’re paying on almost everything.

This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community. Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power. If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.

NEW: Following bipartisan outrage, Trump has scrapped his administration’s plans to livestream an execution. Public executions are a practice of authoritarian regimes; they have no place in American justice. This barbaric spectacle should’ve never been on the table in the first place.

Second, we need accountability, particularly on corruption, the abuse of taxpayer dollars and the weaponization of government. And third, we need to Trump-proof the government.

I actually think governing effectively is a three-legged stool. First, we need an agenda that’s gonna actually help real people. Take some big economic swings—declare a housing emergency, create a public insurance plan, and build a tax code that reflects reality.

I don’t understand how my Republican colleagues could hold hands with their fellow legislators, say a long prayer, and then vote to cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid. There ought to be a connection between what you say on Sunday and what you do on Monday.

Facing political defeat, Trump is blaming sky high gas and diesel prices on Ukraine’s attacks against Russian oil refineries—and is limiting Ukraine’s access to Starlink to make his point. But we know the truth: it's Trump’s illegal and unwinnable war on Iran to blame.

Donald Trump is using Ukraine as a scapegoat for the high energy prices American families are facing as a result of his war in Iran. Make no mistake, America still stands with Ukraine. It’s Donald Trump who is shifting away from them.

Your record-high costs are a small price to pay, says the guy who made $2.2 billion off of the presidency last year.

Americans have been forced to pay over $129 billion more for gas and diesel because of Trump’s foolish war in Iran—and it’s been reported that he’s thinking about ordering more strikes! This isn't what the American people want. We must work to lower costs, not continue this war.
- PM
Why does everything cost more? Ask Republicans. Their tariffs. Their war with Iran. Their cuts to your health care.

I will continue to do all I can to mitigate the impacts on Californians and our businesses until we can put an end to these tariffs.
- AS
No one on either side of the border thinks this tariff fight is a good idea. It’s hurt us all. That it has alienated one of our closest friends and allies adds additional salt to the wound.

Throughout this trip, I heard over and over again how our interconnected commerce, markets and supply chains don't just impact our respective economies but also the livelihoods of Americans and Canadians alike.

Their stories mirror the many stories I've heard from California businesses about lost opportunities and how interconnected our commerce is with Canada.

I also met with the American Chamber of Commerce in Canada and representatives of American companies impacted by strained economic relations between our two countries.

Without American wine on Canadian shelves, Canadians are also missing out on tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue they would obtain from selling our wine.

Between the Canadian tariffs and the war in Iran (components of fertilizer also go through the Strait of Hormuz), the input costs for farmers have gone way up.

The tariff wars are raising costs in the United States on everything from steel and lumber to wine bottles to the potash farmers need for their fertilizer.

I then traveled to Ottawa, the nation's capital, to sit down with Canadian Minister for Agriculture, Heath MacDonald, and members of Parliament to discuss these issues and what can be done to mitigate the harms to both our economies until we can end them.

There is a political tradition in Canada, as there is in the United States, of politicians serving pancakes to their constituents. It was a pleasure to join Alberta’s Premier, Danielle Smith, for some good food and frank conversation about the needs of farmers in California and Alberta.

My first stop was Alberta, the only province not boycotting Californian wines. I spoke to provincial leaders about the importance of the Canadian market to California farmers and the importance of continuing close collaboration on dairy, beef and energy trade.

I went to understand more about how we can repair what is already broken, and the pathways to rebuilding an invaluable friendship with our neighbors. Here’s what I saw:
- AS
More to the point, the tariffs and a resulting Canadian boycott of certain American goods — like California wine — are hurting people on both sides of the border. And even if those trade disputes ended tomorrow, the damage will not disappear overnight.
- AS
When Los Angeles was burning, I met countless firefighters who came south to help us battle the blazes and save our homes and lives. Sadly, all too many Canadians feel betrayed by the President’s attacks on Canada, his demeaning comments about the country, and the 51st state nonsense.
- AS
I just returned from my first CODEL to Canada, where I advocated for my California constituents suffering from the president’s tariff wars with our Northern neighbor. Canadians have been among our closest allies, fighting side-by-side in both world wars and innumerable other conflicts.

The restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Starlink for its air defenses are unacceptable and contrary to U.S. national security, as is the Trump admin’s alleged threat to suspend other U.S. support to Ukraine. The Department of Defense must restore full Starlink access immediately.

Imagine telling families struggling to put food on the table and pay their bills to take inflation with a “grain of salt.”

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So after we win an election, we need to deliver real results, hold signature cases accountable, and Trump-proof the government going forward.

After Trump's first term, we talked about setting up a task force to do just this. Unfortunately, too many leaders on both sides of the aisle believed that the Trump era was behind us and not worth the heavy lift of changing laws to protect the future.

Americans can feel it, now the numbers confirm it: Inflation is only getting worse. End the war, protect our troops, lower costs — it's that simple. The fact that Trump refuses to do so — while he uses the Oval Office to make money for himself — is shameful.
