Team, I can’t believe I said that — We cannot build bananas in America. What’s worse, I can’t believe I HAD to say that. But I did!

Every day is another example of the importance of gaining a Democratic House majority. If you feel the same, help my team have the resources to help gain that majority. [[link removed]]

ICYMI — During a recent congressional hearing, I questioned Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on food prices, particularly on bananas. Walmart, for example, has already increased the price of bananas by 8%.

“If you build in America, if you produce your product in America, there will be no tariff,” Lutnick insisted. I had to tell him: We cannot build bananas in the United States 🤦‍♀️Pennsylvania Democrat Madeleine Dean grills Trump's commerce secretary on bananas. [[link removed]]
Mads with a banana. [[link removed]]

THAT’S bananas, right? I thought I was losing it. But that really happened.

Friends, we need more serious people in Congress. Not MAGA Republicans who agree with every ludicrous idea President Trump comes up with, and who have no real plans to make anything work. It would be funny if it weren’t sending us barreling toward a recession.

I’m using my platform in Congress to push back — sometimes just stating the simple truth in the face of their ignorance reveals how dangerous they are for our families.

If you’re with me, can you help my team hit our goal this month to make sure I can keep my campaign running while I’m in D.C. fighting these battles? We’re aiming to raise $20,000 before the end of the month. Join my team and help me make sure these MAGA Republicans know how the economy works. [[link removed]]

Thank you,
