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.

But:
Can Congress devote as much energy to saving rule of law?
This has always been the hurricane sharpie.
The CONSTITUTION gives tariff power to CONGRESS — NOT a DERANGED, VENGEANCE-OBSESSED EX-PRESIDENT.
Take it back. STRIP HIM of power BEFORE he strips your family of food and jobs.
SHARE THIS — before the damage is IRREVERSIBLE.

They should not be able to be out in public, at dinner, whatever without someone asking them what they are going to DO about this.
Trump is nuts.
Just say it.
I wasn't sure if I should respond "atta boy!" or "I'm sorry".

We don’t have a Legislative branch anymore and, so far, the Judiciary branch has propped us up.
If y’all can revive yourselves, it sure will be helpful to all concerned.
Back to normal I guess.
Quit being reactionary and pretending you care
That is the worrying part of all this, they don't even care enough to check the list.
Unless you want to read “North Atlantic Treaty Article 5” and “preventative nuclear strike” in the same title.
They are stealing from the working class!!!
This is the goal and the control.
Follow what Putin did to his people, then you can save the world.
We should have fought and kept them out of the house
If you are a registered voter in a red state call you Congress person and politely let them know how you feel.
Threats and cursing calls just get dismissed as " nut job" phone call. You must be coherent.
There are a lot of things Congress has the power to stop.
But they don’t.
If we want to survive this, we must act collectively. We must give ourselves the power.
We don 't have to be shot by an enemy. We aren't risking our lives. We just need to call our representatives!
Even the American Enterprise Institute…
He's abusing them in ways their authors did not intend.
I'm working with my @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social Trade Subcommittee colleagues on legislation to reform those authorities and stop Trump from wrecking the economy.

Let's get this done!
Please tell that to the mushy sycophants on the rightwing, before they embarrass us into a global clusterfuck of epic proportions.
Sorry. I mis-spelled compost.
