Senators Chuck Grassley (R) and Maria Cantwell (D) just introduced a bill to reassert Congress’s power over tariffs.
—President must notify Congress on new tariffs within 48 hours of imposition.
—Congress must approve them within 60 days or they expire.

And then there's Trump's veto. We won't get a 2/3 congressional majority to overturn it. 😔
Why are we discussing limiting a power the President DOES NOT HAVE? Congress needs to grow a spine.
I don't see this being a viable approach.

Candidly, that position feels pretty damn justified given the last 8 years.
And it would be nice if they could momentarily find their spines to not give all the tax money to the rich assholes who already have plenty of money.
Unless that changes, it's going nowhere...
Dude!🤦🏽♀️
They can join the Whigs with their Know Nothing bullshit in hell.
They will rein in the tariffs, and then he will destroy SS and Medicare.
He is an MN whose goal is to punish the people that failed him,
and he's willing to burn it all down to do it.
My SIL's learned the hard way.
You have to destroy them and make them deathly afraid of you to get them to stop the narcissistic injury attacks completely.
The World is figuring out how to trade without the US
The US, as a common enemy, is forcing people to work together
And it can be filibustered.
And my understanding of the Senate is that Trump could veto the disapproval and make it last 60 days without a veto-proof majority.
Republican support still lacking.
You mean a resolution??
Not even a veto proof majority
I think 14 but my math might be off ?
They have the authority to set aside Trump’s bogus declaration of emergency. Do it.
they should have teamed up four years ago to put him in prison, but their lust for money and power has rendered them mere cowards.
They've already cratered USA credibility and any good will is gone.

But better late than never.
So, go already!
Vote this thing in and dilute some of the 🍊 regime's assumed powers!

They have cruised along hoping no one would notice the bait-and-switch. Wondering if they think the country is going to have collective amnesia again.
Treason only covers betraying the nation on behalf of another country.
There’s nothing that covers betraying the nation on behalf of his fragile ego.

Oh, he's promoting a book on mentorship...
/sarcasm
So pretending they are fighting it. Dang.

So now they need new legislation.
Those former people were idiots/optimists who imagined every President would be a wise leader who listened to advisors vs a mad king surrounded by sycophants.
Murkowski, either. Both will fold.
it's been five days since Ruin The Economy Day and they want to give him 55 more?
