Reminder no. 871: Congress can stop this insanity any time it so chooses.
Under the Constitution, *Congress*, not the President, has the power to tax and to impose tariffs. They gave it away. They can take it back.
Call your Congress reps, especially if they are GOP. Tell them: ENOUGH!

personality to role up the rubes.
The only peaceful way to stop this is for someone to step up and allow for an emergency nationwide vote to replace tRump and those enabling him.
This was on a telephone poll at Hands Off yesterday.

Now, though, real fear is setting in. Trump is becoming toxic. The terrible results in the elections last week were *before* these insane tariffs were announced and started to do their damage.
If they oppose trump, they lose their career.
Economy deliberately crumbling, global relations souring, stump speeches seem insufficient.
Dems: align, litigate, work the press, reach / engage across political divides.

As long as the have any bullshit left in their mouth, a Republican will accept it. Prove. Me. Wrong.
Why should they act to stop it?
Chaos and destruction on the way to autocracy IS their plan
They are
breaking the law
Tell them it’s over.

So now they have no excuse for not listening to their constituents.
Call them -especially if you are in a red state
I used to despise him. Would never vote for him. But he is better than Andy Biggs and Debbie Lesko who are close minded maga's.
He needs the long-term interests to drop, which they do in a depression, so he can ram thru his big tax break bill.

REMOVE TRUMP'S NEW POWERS TO INVOKE TARIFFS. Full stop. You gave him this power. Take it away. No caveats!
You can take that anyway you want, but it is true. It means whatever you think it means, have fun.

Why would they care what we think about any of this? Aren’t they entirely motivated by partisanship?
