It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.

This is a deliberate act to make it harder for millions of women to vote. It's outright suppression.
The ultimate goal of christofascists like Mike Johnson is a "head of household vote" where the husband casts one for his entire family and unmarried women fall under their father's vote.

Trump is holding the funds hostage and will allow kids to go hungry unless Maine discriminates.

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.
Tariffs are actually controlled by law. Trump can only raise tariffs because the current law says the president can declare an emergency and change rates. Congress could actually pass a law that repeals **all** presidential discretion on tariff rates.
A pivotal group of Senate Republicans is set to deliver a symbolic rebuke to President Trump's tariffs on Canadian products.
Support from four Republicans would give a Democratic resolution to block Trump's Canadian tariffs enough votes to pass in the Senate if all 47 Democrats also vote in favor.
