[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress

Hello,
yesterday I asked Trump’s Treasury Secretary a simple question: “Yes or
no, do you support an exemption to tariffs on items that parents need to
care for their babies?”

I was referring to car seats — which Trump doesn’t even have in his
vocabulary. Car seats are the law of the land in all 50 states but now,
the cost of car seats is going up with Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese
imported products. Approximately, 9 out of every 10 car seats in the U.S.
come from China. That’s a steep cost, and a steep cost hike for families
all over the country.

After a long back-and-forth, here’s the response I got from Secretary
Bessent: “It is under consideration.” Seriously?

I asked this question on behalf of families across the country who are
concerned about the Trump administration’s reckless and chaotic tariff
policy. I’m pushing for an exemption to tariffs on baby products for all
the families across the country who will otherwise see the costs of
essential baby products skyrocket. And it’s not just the car seats that
are impacted. We're talking about strollers, cribs, high chairs, you name
it.

While I didn’t get the direct answer I was looking for, Trump is now
considering the exemption for tariffs on baby products that I’ve been
advocating for. It’s my duty to fight for the people — especially the
people closest to the hurt and harm of this administration’s actions.

tariffs? Please, if you can, chip in
$25 or any
amount you can to fuel our fight against Trump’s policies.

Republicans claim they are pro-family. But I can’t hear the words they say
because I see the things they do: cut Medicaid, cut food assistance, cut
funding for public education , and impose tariffs that hurt families and
small businesses. The cruelty is the point.

Rather than delivering stability for our country, this Trump tariff
tantrum has been inconsistent, counterproductive, and disconnected from
reality.

I’m fighting for families and everyone who calls this country home. I’m in
Congress, fighting this harmful legislation and making Republicans wear
it. I’m in my district, listening to the community’s concerns and standing
in the gap.

[ [link removed] ]And here, right now, I need your help to stop the Trump administration
from tanking our economy. Can you pitch in
$25 or
whatever amount makes most sense to you, to help us fight for families and
everyone hurting from Trump’s policies?
