Big win for Democrats & the country given all House Dems voted against this dereliction of duty along with the 3 Republicans that realized they shouldn’t give up Congressional authority. Minority Leader Jeffries continues to run circles around Speaker Johnson despite social media not knowing math.
GOP revolt sinks effort to block votes on Trump’s tariffs
GOP revolt sinks effort to block votes on Trump’s tariffs
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s bid to block future votes on President Donald Trump’s tariffs failed Tuesday after an internal GOP revolt. Three Republican lawmakers, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Kevin Kiley of California and Don Bacon of Nebraska, joined Democrats to defeat a key procedural measure 217-214. That gives Democrats the opportunity to force a vote as soon as this week on a resolution disapproving of the president’s 25 percent duties on Canadian goods. House Republican leadership spent most of Tuesday whipping votes after a small group of tariff-skeptic Republicans led by Massie and Kiley pushed back against the procedural maneuver, which would keep the House from voting on resolutions disapproving of Trump’s tariffs through July. A previous GOP measure blocking tariff votes expired on Jan. 31. Tuesday’s defeat appears to end a nearly year-long effort by Republican leadership to shield its members from politically difficult votes on tariffs, as voters and businesses tire from the uncertainty fomented by Trump’s favorite geopolitical tool. “I don’t think that the House should be limiting the authority of members and enlarging the power of leadership at the expense of our members,” Kiley said in an interview after voting “no.” “That’s what this does, so I think it’s important for the House as an institution,” he added. House leaders used the procedural measure last March to block efforts to force a vote on the national emergency Trump used to implement the tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico. House Republicans voted to extend it a second time in September. In that time, the Senate has passed four resolutions disapproving of the tariffs — two related to the tariffs on Canadian goods, one on tariffs on Brazil and one on the “reciprocal” tariffs Trump has imposed on nearly every country. Johnson on Tuesday urged his members to support the procedural measure, arguing that any disapproval vote should wait until after the Supreme Court determines whether Trump has the authority to use a 1977 economic powers law to impose sweeping tariffs across the globe. That ruling could come as late as the end of June or beginning of July. Democrats have already prepared several tariff resolutions for a vote, hoping to force Republicans to go on the record regarding their support for Trump’s historic tariff levels. The votes are largely symbolic — even if the Senate again approves the measures, Trump can veto the resolutions, which would take a two-thirds majority to overturn. The House Rules Committee is expected to reconvene Tuesday night to advance a modified measure without the tariff provision, providing for floor consideration of the three bills in the original rule as well as a GOP elections bill, the SAVE America Act. Meredith Lee Hill and Calen Razor contributed to this report.

What the hell is the plan with #SchoolSpirits?

Is it just going to keep adding more mythology on top of more mythology on top of more mythology until it gets canceled?!?

I love the kids. They are great characters. But it's starting to feel like a hamster wheel.

Several survivors of Epstein's global child trafficking ring are now dangerously exposed because the DOJ is either spectacularly sloppy or trying to intimidate people. Or both.

The Trump Administration isn't just protecting the pedophiles in the Epstein files—they're also enabling further abuse.

I demanded that Trump's DOJ & DHS stop stealing resources from anti-human trafficking programs and diverting them to immigration enforcement. (1/2)
Democrats say Trump’s immigration crackdown has undermined efforts to combat human trafficking
House Democrats say US anti-trafficking efforts have been hamstrung by diversion of resources to immigration raids

Gen X children would send messages using tall characters (moose) or short (squoorrel). This was called Boris Code
The mongols would send long and short horses trotting in a long line over the steppe to convey messages. This was called horse code.
We Cornish used to sometimes communicate hilltop to hilltop by releasing short and long clouds of smoke from burning piles of groundcover. This was called Gorse code.

#NowWatching #TheUndoing and holy crap, the retcons in this thing 😆

I won't even get into the perversions of the law as I can't spot all of them, but I can tell it would make an attorney tear their hair out

It's well acted and wonderfully atmospheric, so I'm enjoying those aspects

ICE arrested ~200 people during its surge in Maine. Only a few had committed a crime.

DHS data shows <14% of the people they’ve apprehended had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

Fourteen.

The “worst of the worst” argument was always bullshit. Now we have the data to prove it.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.
