Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

This is a major repudiation of Trump's efforts to use the law enforcement system to attack his political opponents. Grand juries only hear the prosecution side and rarely reject indictments. But in this case, the everyday citizens found even the one-sided case unconvincing.

Today, it was a grand jury of anonymous American citizens who upheld the rule of law and determined this case should not proceed. Hopefully, this ends this politicized investigation for good.

In a key procedural vote, three GOP lawmakers—Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley and Don Bacon—joined Democrats to defeat Mike Johnson’s bid to block future votes on Trump’s tariffs. That gives Democrats the opportunity to force a vote on a resolution disapproving of Trump’s 25% duties on Canadian goods.
