Canadian billboards warn Floridians they’ll pay for Trump’s tariffs

Canada is attempting to school Americans on economics and tariffs, via billboards in red states and political battlegrounds, including multiple locations in Florida. “Tariffs are a tax on your grocery bill,” and “Tariffs are a tax at the gas pump" say rotating messages on the electronic billboards. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, said via email: “This billboard is dead-on. Trump’s tariffs threaten the largest tax hike in history on every middle-class family who drives past this ad. Trump is tanking our economy and ruining our relationship with Canada and all its visitors to Florida, and that ugly truth needs to be shared everywhere,” she said.

House lawmakers vote to organize a formal Jewish caucus led by Nadler, Schneider

The proposal, pushed by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was negotiated between her and Rep. Jerry Nadler, who was initially a skeptic. House lawmakers voted on Thursday, in a long-gestating but still unexpected move, to create a formal Jewish caucus for the first time, launching an official forum for long-standing informal work and discussions among Jewish members of Congress. The caucus’s formation comes at a time of, and partly in response to, record-high antisemitism in the United States.

Democrats are lowering health care costs under law GOP wants to repeal | Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Without your health, little else matters, and if you can’t afford to fix it, the pain and financial weight can be unbearable. But Democrats are winning the battle for quality affordable health care.
When I first ran for public office, I went door-to-door and told voters my number one priority was to make health care a right, not a privilege. That’s why my proudest moment in public service was the vote I cast for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which enabled tens of millions of Americans to get th...

Don’t be fooled by corporate disinformation. They want to block climate change legislation | Opinion

As Floridians, we know all too well the havoc severe hurricane seasons can inflict on our coastal communities. Every year, tragically, homes, businesses and lives are upturned, ruined or lost.

Advances in attribution science can now demonstrate that man-made climate change has contributed to the increased severity and frequency of these storms — and they are only going to get worse. The costs associated with these more ferocious, climate-cooked storms are enormous.

It’s a book meant for children, but there’s a wealth of adult truth in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

“No, no!” said the Queen during the trial of the Knave of Hearts. “Sentence first — verdict afterward.”

A real-life example of this perversity has just played out in the right-wing hysteria over Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, and her part-time information technology assistant, Imran Awan.

To hear Fox News, the Daily Caller and even President Trump himself, the con
