These tariffs continue to be a disaster for Americans, yet President Trump just keeps doubling down.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 10h

New York Fed Report: Trump's tariffs added 2.9 percentage points to consumer goods inflation by February 2026. Without the tariffs, prices of goods would have fallen. New Canadian tariffs are expected to put additional upward pressure on prices.

The Trump administration and his family must be thoroughly investigated and held accountable for these conflicts of interest.

The Trump administration has spent nearly fifty billion taxpayer dollars on a senseless war that is raising your costs. Meanwhile, Trump’s sons could be potentially profiting from the war, as defense companies they’ve invested in receive new government contracts.

Three years ago today, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack in Israel’s history, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 more hostage. This heinous attack inflicted profound pain on Jewish communities in Israel and around the world.

Those things are all a result of Trump tearing up that deal and choosing instead to start a war—a war that has already cost taxpayers nearly fifty billion dollars, with Americans paying even more at the pump. Trump will keep using the “small price to pay” line. Don’t fall for it.

Iran didn’t have a nuclear weapon under the previous deal negotiated by Obama. We didn’t have high gas prices. Our military bases weren’t under bombardment. We weren’t running out of critical munitions.

I have no idea what Trump meant by “Let them take out Los Angeles,” but I do know this: his argument that high gas prices are a “small price to pay” to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon is complete nonsense.

Absolutely no surprise that the President who was found liable for sexual abuse by a federal jury says he “feels badly” for the men being investigated by the NY Attorney General in the Cornell rape case. Despicable.

My thoughts are with everyone affected by this morning’s crash on I-95 over Lake Marion. Our amazing first responders acted swiftly, rescued those trapped, cared for the injured, and kept other motorists safe. I hope all those injured make a full and speedy recovery.

This is no way to treat the American people as they already struggle with high costs.

Some new changes to SNAP go into effect today thanks to Trump and Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill.” States are going to have to pick up more of the cost of administering the program, which could force some states to make additional cuts to benefits.

And the $5,000 Trump’s promising right as the midterm elections are approaching, he’s been promising for over a year. He takes your money and then lies to you about giving it back. That’s Donald Trump.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This president is such a thief. The “hundreds of billions of dollars” the government is taking in from tariffs is partially from the higher prices you are paying.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

You work hard and pay your taxes. Trump then uses that tax money to pay for illegal campaign ads promoting himself on national television. That’s where we are as a country.

In reality, this database will make it more difficult for eligible citizens to vote, especially recently naturalized Americans, by flagging them as ineligible and forcing them to prove their citizenship just weeks before midterm voting begins.

RFK Jr. needs a bigger security detail and the first place they go looking for money is the Office of Minority Health—the HHS office that works to reduce health disparities faced by racial and ethnic minorities. This tells you everything you need to know about the Trump administration’s priorities.

It’s interesting to see Congressional Republicans—who voted time and again to continue Trump’s war in Iran over the past 7 months—all of a sudden “see the light” when their seats in Congress are at risk.

ICE has brought chaos to the streets of many communities, Americans have less money in their pockets because of Trump’s dumb war and tariffs, and the Trump administration is systematically making it more difficult, not easier, for many Americans to get ahead. This is what you call “results”?

Would love to see Trump showing some interest in marking up ideas to lower costs instead of designs for his lavish ballroom, but that's just me. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Families are left in the dark. Lawyers may be unable to challenge a detention or deportation before it is too late. Whatever their legal status, people deserve dignity and due process. The Trump administration doesn’t seem to care.

Why is ICE purposefully hiding where it is holding people? ICE erased detainees slated for deportation from its online locator and barred ICE officers from telling their families and attorneys where they are being held.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Trump is gambling our economy, our national security, and the safety of the American people just because he’s worried about the stock market falling under his watch.

Leaders of the world’s largest AI companies are calling for slower development because they fear “superintelligence” could cause catastrophic harm. Trump is openly encouraging it while rejecting new safeguards.

It didn’t have to be this way. Trump had no clear reason to launch a war with Iran, but did have very clear reason to believe that gas prices would soar. He did it anyway. Now it could go from bad to worse, and there’s no end in sight.

I can’t tell what’s worse: The fact that there’s no audio because Trump banned media outlets from the White House. Or the fact that he thinks Americans care about a ribbon cutting for his helipad.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

There you have it. Trump doesn’t want any safeguards on AI because he’s concerned they would cause the stock market to go down under his watch.

Just think: inflation was gradually trending down when President Trump took office. In less than two years, he was able to send inflation back up and interest rates along with it.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I wish we had a President and a Congress who took their responsibility to bring down prices seriously. Sadly, we do not.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The worst part is that the President seems more consumed with renovating the White House—which he recently called a “palace”—and House Republicans have canceled work in Washington and sent us home for nearly eight weeks.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Due to the President’s debacle in Iran, interest rates are unfortunately heading back up. That means higher borrowing costs for car loans, credit card balances, and mortgages on top of all the higher prices the war has already caused.

25523

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The American people should never forget that when they faced exploding costs from a failed war in Iran and dangerous uncertainty from unchecked artificial intelligence, House Republicans decided to cancel work in Washington and go home for nearly eight weeks. Shameful.

$246,000,000. That’s how many taxpayer dollars the Trump administration is spending on their failed Iran War EVERY DAY. And that’s on top of the over $100 billion more Americans have paid for energy since the war started.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Gas prices are surging due to a failed war in Iran, the Attorney General says we should not try to regulate AI, and the President of the United States is blaming Democrats for his 2024 assassination attempt. Just another day in Trump’s America.

Every American needs to ask themselves: Why did a Russian oligarch close to Putin—who recently traveled alongside Putin in China—spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Trump’s son’s wedding celebrations?

Detainees at “Alligator Alcatraz” were punished by being shackled and forced into small cages for up to two hours. Criminals are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to politically connected pardon brokers who use their influence to secure pardons from President Trump.

Trump’s son had his wedding parties paid for by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin and is sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting Ukrainian children. Trump’s EPA repealed all federal limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants.
