Trump calls affordability a “hoax.”

But Fairfax small businesses like Sarah Wells Bags are living the reality as Trump’s tariffs squeeze them this holiday season.

I’m fighting to reverse these tariffs and lower costs so small business owners can thrive & serve our community.

(1/2) When it’s a tax credit for the middle class, Republicans label it a subsidy and say it’s too expensive. When it’s for billionaires, they call it a tax credit and add it to the national debt.

Trump’s DOJ is under subpoena to provide Epstein material to Congress, but they haven’t complied.

The law now says the files must be released this Friday. Trump could release them today. Why hasn’t he?

With new photos surfacing, the questions continue to mount.

My heart goes out to the Reiner family.

A tremendous talent who brought humor and joy to so many. It is shameful and disgusting that the President would post something so vile as the Reiner family grieves.

Sad and pathetic.

Trump brushes off the latest photos of him and Epstein, but still won’t release the files.

We need to follow this investigation wherever it leads.

Why won’t Trump #ReleaseTheFiles?

Trump’s DOJ is under subpoena to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. They’re not complying with that subpoena & Trump still refuses to release the files.

Photos released today demonstrate we need to learn more & follow this investigation wherever it leads.

I asked a simple question: does the FBI still designate the Proud Boys as an extremist organization? No answer.

In 2018, the neo-fascist Proud Boys were labeled an extremist organization by the FBI.

Today? They refuse to say.

A federal court reminded Donald Trump of something basic: in America, the Constitution comes before his cruel mass-deportation agenda.

Ordering Kilmar Ábrego Garcia’s release is a huge win for due process & and a stinging rebuke of Trump’s unlawful tactics.

I was prepared to have an honest conversation with Secretary Noem about her mismanagement of taxpayer dollars and the emerging scandal surrounding her taxpayer-funded ad campaign.

But before I could ask a single question, she rushed off to a meeting — one that had already been canceled.

(1/2) After meeting with Fairfax’s small businesses and hearing their challenges firsthand, I’m taking their stories back to Congress.

Trump’s tariffs are hurting small businesses, and it’s time to roll them back.

(1/2) Local small business owners told me plainly: Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs, forcing some to raise prices and lay off employees.
