I’m here in Washington ready to work with anyone to end this shutdown and make sure your health care premiums don’t double or even triple. But where are House Republicans? Taking another week off work. It’s time for them to come help us fix this.

@SpencerHakimian For Trump, tariffs are just an extortion racket. Nothing more, nothing less.

@SpencerHakimian @janicefrye0846 My question is: How much did tRump extort from them to exempt them? There’s no such thing as a free tariff in tRumpWorld.

Qatar financed Hamas for years, to the tune of $1.8 BILLION. And now they will have their own air force base ON U.S. SOIL, thanks to Trump. Let that sink in.

I’m talking to Democrats and Republicans in the Senate every day, but the House is critical to solving this shutdown too. Mike Johnson needs to get House Republicans back to Washington so we can actually work together to stop health care costs from rising dramatically.

Bessent: They politicized the soybean purchases. And most of them have gone to Brazil. We are not going to let that happen. And I believe that the Chinese will have to come back at the end of the season and buy soybeans
