Did you see the big news?
The Seattle Times:
Cantwell leads bipartisan push to give Congress control over tariffs
“‘We’re going to see the price of cars go up, and the fact that the American public can’t afford grocery costs, health care costs, or housing costs — we certainly don’t need to add in auto costs,’ Cantwell said on the Senate floor last week. ‘I’m pretty sure it’s a good deal for Elon Musk and Tesla. Don’t know that it’s such a good deal for everybody else.’
…‘It’s time Congress looks at making sure that we are doing something to counter the president.’”
President Trump announced his broadest yet slate of tariffs on nearly all American trading partners – some as high as 40%.
Top economists and experts agree: these tariffs could launch a trade war that will dramatically raise costs for consumers and families here in Washington and nationwide, and irreparably damage the US’ standing in the world economy.
Maria is fighting back and restoring Congress’ authority and responsibility over tariffs.
Maria on CNN: “We want trade, not tariffs.”
While Washington families work hard to make ends meet, Trump is treating our economy like a political game—creating chaos, driving up costs, and putting our jobs at risk.
Maria is going to keep leading the fight to stop this madness, demanding Congress reassert its power over tariffs and protect workers, consumers, and our economy, but she needs you with her.
We must defend our state from Trump’s reckless economic policies together. If you’re with us, add your name to our petition calling on Donald Trump to stop this reckless trade war NOW:
