We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice.
The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President.
Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back.
We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

It’s childish and illogical and rooted in “American Exceptionalism” I think.
Just trying to keep things straight in my own mind but it appears that this new approach to international trade is based on the theory that if I buy something from you, that means you have to buy something of equal value from me or it is not fair

Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
We tariffed BIOT, Mike.
BIOT. Diego fucking Garcia.
We tarrifed our own military base.

Trump has already damaged the economy with his abysmal foreign policy and loyalty to special interests, but the worst is yet to come. Trump’s “Day of Liberation” will be remembered like Black Tuesday. He will own the destruction that follows.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Just in case you needed to see Elon Musk in a cheese hat blowing lots of money and losing
He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Cory Booker set the new Senate filibuster record to protect America from Trump's billionaire autocracy
Strom Thurmond held the old record to protect segregation and stop anyone like Booker from ever being in the Senate
But sure, go ahead and tell me how both sides are the same
