Small businesses need relief. Trump’s chaotic use of tariffs are hurting Main Street and the SBA’s Office of Advocacy should hear these concerns and be a true voice for small businesses across the federal government.

I am proud to announce the passage of my bipartisan bill with Rep. Brian Jack, the SBA IT Modernization Reporting Act. This legislation will enhance the SBA’s ability to develop, implement, and manage future IT modernization projects and strengthen how the SBA supports small businesses nationwide.

Now we know why Hegseth and Trump got so angry about my colleagues reminding service members that they don’t have to follow illegal orders.

Pete Hegseth, himself gave an illegal order that resulted in the death of defenseless individuals.

He needs to be held accountable.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Senator Mark Kelly is a fellow Navy veteran and a friend. He has dedicated his entire life to serving our country. These allegations from Hegseth are total BS and it is no coincidence that they come right after Trump encouraged political violence against elected Members of Congress. (1/2)

Trump promised to lower costs, but so far this year, families in California have paid an average of $1,112 in inflation costs from Trump’s reckless policies. Americans deserve better than empty Republican promises. (1/2)

Trump’s reckless use of tariffs increases costs and steals stability and growth from small businesses. We need to truly listen to small businesses, they need relief.
