Clearly the 🟠🤡is kompromat to Putin and has been told to destroy the US economy. Pity all the #MAGA disciples and their 401K, investments, small businesses, homes.

Thank you to the senate who are stepping up for the people of the United States. You can do more, you can do better. We need you.

arbecca.bsky.social•4 days ago

Progress people. A BIG WHOPPING THANK YOU to all who blocked trump's insane Canadian tariffs.

msbak.bsky.social•4 days ago

Some backbone! Color me shocked.

emmgld.bsky.social•4 days ago

But they refuse to block any of the destructive things DOGE is doing?

During the Great Depression,

the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930

significantly increased tariffs

on foreign imports,

leading to retaliatory measures

from other countries

and a sharp decline in global trade,

which worsened

the economic downturn.

Too little, too late. Mike Johnson poisoned all Senate bills by not allowing them to vote on them this session.

Canada should just turn off the lights and the gas, then just close the border.

Thank goodness Marmite is made in Britain.

Oh look - Susan Collins is very disappointed again. SO disappointed, even. She might actually say, “Goshdarnit!” and raise her eyebrows.

observer9.bsky.social•1 day ago

COLLINS NEEDS TO GO!! SHE BLESSED ALL OF TRUMPS INSANE CABINET AND AGENCY PICKS. DISGUSTINGLY BAD JUDGMENT!!!!

Trump is not going to be happy about this!!!! It may even induce a coronary.

According to @maddow.msnbc.com the house vote will never happen, it’s never going to make it to the floor!

opinionatedretiree.bsky.social•4 days ago

I saw that. Very disappointing.

Purely symbolic and a protective shield around products that impact those states the most. "It wasn't me" is what this is about.

quinnm3.bsky.social•4 days ago

The house will never be able to vote on this.
Thanks Mike!

jazzhill.bsky.social•4 days ago

BUT…. it’s supposed to now go to the House for a vote, and that scumbag Johnson has put a block on the vote even going to the House! Keep fighting 💪🏻🦾

annthegolfnut.bsky.social•4 days ago

If Johnson blocks the vote, can’t those same 51 vote to have him removed.
He’s obstructing Congress!

jazzhill.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wish it was that easy! American politics at its finest.

jazzhill.bsky.social•4 days ago

Look up his year long day 😡

jogirl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now vote to block all of them!! This is bull shit!!! Liberated my ass!!!

smithjohnny.bsky.social•4 days ago

Pulling Kentucky whiskey from the shelves. And not reordering. Was a brilliant move by Canada.

nonsensicalmadness.bsky.social•4 days ago

Mikey J immediately made up a rule to prevent the House from ever voting on a House version of this. Some bullshit about how the rest of eternity all counts as one day or something.

tmiller59.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump Tariffs

He doesn’t have a degree in economics. He has declared bankruptcy several times. He has had several failed businesses. And everyone should let him control the global economy. WRONG!

annthegolfnut.bsky.social•4 days ago

What could possibly go wrong?

observer9.bsky.social•1 day ago

SEEMS SO OBVIOUS TO US EDUCATED, EMPATHETIC, JUSTICE LOVING, KIND FOLKS, BUT NOT TO THE 70 MILLION PATHETIC, LAZY, RACIST, GREEDY, IGNORANT, SCARED, JESUS WORSHIPING, MAGAT MORONS WORSHIPING A ORANGE MAKEUP WEARING, PETULANT, MISOGYNISTIC, LYING, NARSACCISTIC CLOWN FOOL CHEATER, DRAFT AND TAX EVADER

tmiller59.bsky.social•1 day ago

What everyone needs to understand. MAGA are non self thinkers. They are gullible, delusional, misguided and uninformed. Trump is a master at conning and manipulating weak people.

tmiller59.bsky.social•1 day ago

You shouldn’t associate all Christians with MAGA. I am a Christian and I don’t agree with any of MAGA delusional Christian beliefs. Trump and his MAGA cult followers are Christian Nationalist. That is not true Christianity and the bible condemns it.

I want to thank them but they played a huge part in creating this disaster

observer9.bsky.social•1 day ago

THAT IS TRUE!!! BUT SOMETIMES IT'S OKAY TO MAKE A MISTAKE AS LONG AS YOU ARE HONEST ABOUT RECOGNIZING IT AND THEN YOU TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT IT!!

cannaman777.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ha ha, now Susan Collins is eating Trump's exhaust. How does it feel? Get your pee on Trump stickers at the door.

Congratulations for the bi-partisan agreement on the proper arrangement of deck chairs

erynwyld.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks. We know the boot lickers in the House will do whatever the Turd Reich tells them, including my Rep., David Schweikert. 👎

wendybayne.bsky.social•4 days ago

I did not have that on my bingo card. But the house will never pass it.

cindyandrewsmcgraw.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wonderful!!

rocketdog3.bsky.social•3 days ago

Does this have to pass in the House?

marciwatson.bsky.social•4 days ago

I guess we flood the house zone starting tomorrow morning. Call, fax, email your representatives.

marciwatson.bsky.social•4 days ago

The article goes on to say that it would likely not pass in the house.

skytati.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not a chance. Those guys are MAGA Talibans

rocketdog3.bsky.social•3 days ago

But does it go to the House now?

catalinashelby.bsky.social•4 days ago

We patched a wound, an optimistic reprieve, but the has a very deep cut.

Happy to see Collins's concern spark her rare action-- perhaps because Maine tourism is completely dependent on Canadian visitors

Republicans need to support the American people and the Constitution. Do your job!!!!

anonymouscanuck.bsky.social•3 days ago

But will King Donald of house Trump first of his name actually Abid by this and how will the Senate enforce this . Will the GOP senators the crossed the floor all aof a sudden start falling out of open windows

ryanwalters.bsky.social•4 days ago

republicans can’t govern lmaooo

observer9.bsky.social•2 days ago

HOORAY!! HOPE. GET IT DONE!!

bobbyt-77.bsky.social•4 days ago

As an independent, I want to say to the Republican Senators who voted to prevent a tariff war with our friends to the north, thank you.

wjg222.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’d thank those GOP members who crossed the aisle to vote on this, but they were a big part in putting it in place. Stop the orange lunatic.

clayblasdel.bsky.social•4 days ago

MSNBC should hire a new writer who knows the diff between "rebuke" and "block". It's not a rebuke

skytati.bsky.social•4 days ago

"In Rebuke to Trump, The Senate...."

^^^ wrote it for you MSM...

cath-c.bsky.social•4 days ago

Finally Susan Collins is doing the right thing, but I wish Maine voters would vote her out of the Senate.

geosmh06.bsky.social•4 days ago

But will they stop? And pass another blocking the rest and save the middleclass

maryinca25.bsky.social•4 days ago

This may have never happened in the first place if Susan Collin’s had not supported Trump so long, especially during the 1st impeachment. As a former resident of Maine, I’m deeply disappointed in her and I know many Mainers feel the same. She could have helped stop this long ago.

All they need are three GOP House votes, MSNBC. Quit carrying water, and actually be objective. Rachel and Jen can't do all the work for you.
