Hi Friend,
Yesterday Trump announced massive global tariffs - and stock markets are crashing as predicted.
Trump ran on reducing costs - but his tariffs will increase the cost of everything we buy: food, housing, medicine, clothes, electronics, cars, housing, and more.
It's a national sales tax that will cost every American household $4,200 per year.
And that's just the start if the economic pain. Consumers will buy fewer products, so businesses will make fewer sales - which will force them to slash jobs.
And our trade partners will retaliate with tariffs against American products, so export-led jobs in manufacturing and agriculture will be slashed as well.
Widespread job cuts will cause a deep recession - and a trade war could cause a global depression.
But here's the good news: Congress can repeal Trump's tariffs!
Last night in the Senate, 47 Democrats and 4 Republicans voted to repeal Trump's tariffs on Canada. How? Simply by repealing the fake "emergency" Trump used to impose the tariffs.
Now House Democrats are also pushing Republicans to repeal Trump's fake "emergency."
And Republicans are running scared because voters are already furious over Elon Musk's devastating cuts - resulting in angry town halls and near defeats in two Florida House special elections.
And this Saturday, voters will declare "Hands Off!" with protests in nearly every House district - which will further terrify Republicans. Find your nearest protest here.
Thanks for all you do!
Bob Fertik, President
