this is the bill that would give Trump authority to tariff basically any country he wants. it passed the senate with bipartisan support. ostensibly a Russia sanctions bill, but the sanctions provisions have no teeth and the new tariff authorities are enormous. www.thebulwark.com/p/senate-vot...

thebulwark.comSenate Voting to Give Trump a Tariff NukeA bill supposedly aimed at Russia is really an unprecedented new tariff power grab—yet prominent Democrats are backing it.

The first bill out of the Congress should, the Dems take full control, should be a bill setting tariff rates back to October, 2024 and removing all tariff making authority from the executive. Want to levy a tariff? Ask Congress.

Its monumentally embarrassing that Dem Senators voted for this sham. How am I, a mere Bulwark devotee, more informed on the obvious “Lucy with the football” move Trump would make??? I’m sure he’ll be real judicious with his new tariff authority

Foiled! That meddling paywall! <kicks dirt> 🤨 Did this pass the House yet? In the same form?? Which Dems couldn't refuse meekly placing yet more power into the pyschotic hands of Trump???? We're so doomed.
