They are not protecting and / or acting in the best interest of the US Citizens.

Amidst this nightmare there are reasons for optimism. But success requires continuing to ratchet up the pressure on Congress and the Administration. Turn fear into courage, because "courage is also contagious". Keep fighting. Read this to help fuel you: https://www.alternet.org/an-ever-stro...
Congress can rescind the powers they gave to him, and stop this madness. They are complicit in this destruction. I think these tariffs are away to destroy the dollar so his Cripto Bros can sweep in and become the main currency.
Congress isn't dead. They have become the MAGA Movement. There are no Republicans anymore, just MAGA. The states control elections and registrations. It's up to them to change the choices to register. Democrat, Independent, or MAGA. It's really that simple.
Guys there's only one way to stop this shit and it's us (American people)! Our Fathers and Grandparents fought, now it's our turn. This is a peaceful protest, we need 3.5 %. For God sake!, Be an American! SHOW the FUCK UP!! No one is coming to save us!!!!!
It’s not “just” protests at state THIS Saturday April 5th. They are also locally. Search for Hands Off protests or 50501 protests. They’ve merged together for this. Here are just some in the So Cal area. Post yours, grab a friend and make your voices heard.
Ok Kids; please call your Congressional Reps. ASAP! Ask them politely to please Vote to stop Trump Tariffs; & stop this power grab , (Dictator Move), by trump ! Tell them , (all), if they Vote to allow trump to strong arm Tariffs, you will do your best to see they are Voted OUT THEMSELVES!
Keep in mind; they are now spouting that Tariffs are tax hikes, so therefor we need to pass tax cuts to offset it. Cruz was dry heaving that nonsense up. I mean the fastest way would be to just remove the tariffs and take that off Trumps table of awful. BUT no, lets bankrupt this nation quicker.
Really ?? DAMN MAGA Congress !! If they were not self-serving malignant, misogynistic, fascist jackboot licking, despicably greedy, traitorous authoritarians, they could save America ?
The Republican congress could have stopped Trump at anytime and has chosen not to. It's never been just Trump destroying America. VOTE THEM ALL OUT!. While you still have the ability to vote. Voting will probably be taken away also, sooner than later
How the hell did they vote to extend a day through the session. If it is one business day, then they are missing all the missing days and should lose pay and be thrown out for only working a single day.
What good is Congress if they don't act.
At this point a Revolution needs to start and just be done.
This is his first MONTHS. Fucker has 3 more years. If anyone can hit rock bottom and keep digging Trump can do it. May be the only thing he's good at.

But, oh wait now, Little Pisher has now declared the House operates under one long continuing day meaning it blocks anything being done during that endless time warp they are in. I never heard of such a thing, but thats what was reported. Is the report accurate?
Have Democrats introduced a bill to do that and let the majority make sure it never gets a vote? Sure, it's performative but that's what we need right now.
FYI: ...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, ... , as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Where is the montage of DJT saying I don’t care about car prices, Lutnick’s SS comment, Habiba saying vets aren’t fit for gov jobs, Elon’s chainsaw-every reckless word? Run on TV, radio,YouTube, TickTock now through the vote for billionaire tax cuts.
Republicans are bed wetting turnip sucking lead pant licking commie lovers who can’t stand up to the butthurt loser with a petty list of people to get even with. His Idiot Cabinet is chosen because they are dumber than he is. That’s my fucking Ted Talk. I hope you took notes.
Contact your Reps to demand they reassert authority to manage tariffs. Trump doesn't comprehend tariffs. Tariffs aren't paid by the country exporting goods, it is a tax on consumers. Congress has the authority to stop his disastrous tariffs and save the economy, they just have to tell Trump "No".
This is where one wants to SCREAM❗️Speaker Johnson and Minority Leader Jeffries work collaboratively to 1st repeal the tariffs, 2nd write articles of impeachment, then pass, and get them to Senate. 47 has got to GO‼️
The complicit congress as a co-equal branch has all kinds of power including impeachment to keep a separate branch's destruction in check as soon as they should choose to do so.
So far they choose to allow all of this in tacit approval.
Will the Republican party ever vote FOR the American people? They seem hellbent on destroying us. For Putin? for money? for Fame? What could possible incentivize Americans to help destroy their own country?
When Congress is wasting our time and money, and SCOTUS is corrupt and changed the laws that brought this mess about, and the Executive branch is filled with incompetent immature criminals, its' hard to find a path to stop them. We see how little power a citizen has against a wall of corruption.
Hard yes and may get much harder. But needsmust. Paths have to be found or made. This country was born out of revolution. I would hate to see it die from inaction and fear. We're already up to our eyes in ignorance or we wouldn't have found ourselves here in the first place.
The more they pull, the madder their constituents will be, with the stuff they’re pulling & the benefits people are losing. A year from now will be election season if not earlier. People not going to forget being fired, getting kicked off clinical trials, no head start, no kids’ meals at school, ….
At least Arizona has free lunches for all school kids and put limits in place on those stupid vouchers. The gop is going to be screwed and take our state to blue from purple.
Hopefully the stress will lead to the evil fuckers croaking. I know when my evil great grandmother fell down some stairs, broke her hip, yelled at the ceiling (said they were coming for her) and finally croaked at 94, we knew that evil can die...omg she was a tru bitch.
Tell that to @schumer.senate.gov who voted with Republicans to pass the government funding bill that gave the felon the powers to impose tariffs. As part of the bill, nothing can be challenged until 2026.
They also need to block any of these millionaire/billionaire/trillionaires from buying the stocks while low for their astronomical gains they will receive once the tariffs are removed and the stocks go back up. This is all BS.
Maybe the tariff saga is all about forcing countries to negotiate lower tariffs in exchange for pegging their currency to the $, allowing a devaluation without loss of reserve currency status.
This will enable Trump to achieve on-shoring to rival China's capabilities.

4 Sep 1973 - 1.4 million rallied in Santiago to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of President Allende's victory. Every was worried about a coup.
11 Sep 1973 - Pinochet let a military coup and set up a dictatorship.
"What should I do?" is becoming "What should WE DO?"
But how do we answer that question?
Here is WSWS coverage of the protest.

Sure I heard that somewhere.
except #Moses declared that there was on;y ONE day left in the legislative session, and that was nearly a month ago... and no one stopped him.
Russia got no tariffs.
Then, if your Rep is on Bsky, write them.
This is how we fight back in between protests.
Return to congress , begin a session without them if they refuse to reconvene
2025 "hold my beer"

Tariffs are not Trade imbalances.
