I represent a district with $12 trillion of value. I'm proud of economic success and innovators.

Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
