Families are struggling to afford housing, and this administration is making the crisis worse. Anti-immigrant policies are driving workers off job sites, tariffs are raising construction costs, and the war in Iran is pushing prices even higher.

America is short 3 to 5 million homes, and Trump's tariffs have added nearly $11,000 to the cost of a new build. Small builders are part of the solution. At 10am, @HSBCDems will discuss how to get more housing built and bring costs down for families.

The Trump economy is failing small businesses. In 2025 alone, tariffs imposed an estimated $83 billion in direct import taxes. During NSBW, we must stand for our entrepreneurs by fighting to eliminate harmful tariffs and building an economy that truly works for small businesses.

At 10:00 AM, @HSBCDems is examining the gig economy and small biz entrepreneurship. Gig platforms can be a launchpad for small businesses, but skyrocketing gas prices, tariffs, and rising costs are squeezing the entrepreneurs who depend on them. WATCH ⬇️

A year after Republicans passed their Big Ugly Bill, Americans aren’t feeling relief, they’re falling behind. Today in @HSBCDems, I talked with a Senior Fellow from @amprog about how the Big Ugly Bill is forcing small businesses to shut their doors.

At 10:30 AM, @HSBCDems will examine the impact of the so called "One Big Beautiful Bill". 55% of its top "small business" tax cut went to the top 1%, while Medicaid was cut for 7.8M Americans. Small biz aren't celebrating -- they're barely surviving.

95% of American farms are family-owned. Trump's tariffs drove up their costs, his trade wars handed their customers abroad, his immigration crackdown emptied their fields, & USDA cuts left them with no one to call for help. Our new report has the full picture ⬇️

NOW: @HSBCdems are examining how Congress can help Main Street outcompete China & protect American innovation without slipping into xenophobia. We need smart industrial policy that invests in our workers & manufacturers—not broad tariffs or SBA cuts. youtube.com/watch?v=Xb0Urn…
