JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted 52–48 to overturn Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil. Five Republicans joined Democrats: Susan Collins (ME), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rand Paul (KY), and Thom Tillis (NC).

The measure is DOA in the House.

Republicans already cut $186B from SNAP in their Big Ugly Bill. Now their govt shutdown threatens November food assistance for 42 million.

If you put your ear against the Capitol, you can hear the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

And it is not anything to do with the actual Marine Corp's anniversary which is celebrated on the 10th November. The official celebrations are held typically the first week of November. He's such a jerk!
It was to distract from #NoKings day. Marine Corps birthday/anniversary is November 10 not October 18th.
