Bunch of GOP cowards, too afraid of voting on record. And what a ridiculous way to do it by saying the day doesn't count on the calendar. There has to be a way for Dems to use that wording or exploit that in some other place
So just more proof that Republicans can’t and don’t want to actually govern and do the jobs we elected them to do. Seems like we need to add that as a higher priority next time around…
Yes, under codified law the House (Congress) can bring up legislation that involves tariffs put into place by POTUS under a national emergency. These cowards are now relinquishing that responsibility.
So, every one of the MAGA GOP goons in the House- except for (1 Repub) Rep. Massie, and along with (1 Dem) Rep. Golden, voted to reduce their power and representation of their constituents. Why is that? Why do they want to see the economy plunge into a recession? Who are these treacherous saboteurs?
This was a group of power-hungry men. Can't imagine them giving up their power voluntarily. Further, it makes me suspect he has something on all of them. At the very least, he has the power to unleash violent threats against them and not a single spine among them.
Seriously? They gave it up months if not years ago. Just because they buried some language explicitly stripping themselves of power doesn't really change anything.
This “ACT” By Republicans Congress—Gives TRUMP COMPLETE ILLEGAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL!
AMERICANS DEMAND GOPS CONGRESS MAJORITY-
FULFILL THEIR OATH/DUTY-TO ENFORCE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS, STOP TRUMP/ELON CONGRESSIONAL POWER GRAB TO ILLEGALLY DISMANTLE INSTITUTIONS, GOV. PROGRAMS AND SECURITY BREACHES!!
Sure wish I had seen or heard something about this yesterday. Not that I think you could get 2/3 of congress to vote together anyway however is this actually because they are worried about a house flip?
DON'T DO IT!!!! Some of you Conservatives must have had some love and respect for our Constitution. For our Democratic Republic. For our three separate EQUAL
branches of the government. For how great our Country was before Trump. Why did you want to be a part of our government? Let's make America great again, like before Trump. Impeach him.
We’ve all tried to reiterate to them that we are sick of them not fighting for us. They better get it together or get primaried. we aren’t messing around anymore
Is there anyone dumb enough to think the 2 billionaires that cheated at every turn in their life, and the power hungry Christo-fascists propping them, played this one clean?
National Emergency Declared... Now If he declares Martial Law, will Republicans do the same again? I seem to recall something similar happening some 80 years ago.
🚨 This is not good

House Republicans are lazy and spineless. They shun responsibility and would much prefer Daddy and Doge make their decisions for them, then deny any hand in what’s happening.
House Republicans have no courage. They are afraid of DonOld Trump; afraid of losing their jobs. And with this action, they are no longer serving the welfare of all Americans. It's a sad state of affairs for our political system. Time to write an email to your rep & tell them you're unhappy. Today!
From now until the end of the 119th congress I propose that I only have to pay for 1 day's worth of taxes as from now on we no longer have to consider calendar day's
When did the GOP ever really take care of their constituents, push comes to shove. Looks like they only work for one guy these days...Can you imagine? Making it ONE DAY?
This is how it happened in Russia … Putin’s majority party in the Duma voted more and more authority to Putin culminating in a constitutional change to allow him to be President for life
“That’s when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t any rioting in the streets. People stayed home, watching their televisions, looking for direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put a finger on.” - Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
Long ago! They have sold their souls and powers to a lying, conman. He has bypassed the house and senate just like in his first term! 100s of exec orders, creating agencies (Doge) appointing an unelected billionaire to have access to U.S. agency computers and personal info! They are cowards!
I'm so tired of leaders placating Trump with a face saving "win" every time he shits the bed, hoping he'll take a victory lap and move on.
Please, no more "wins" for Donald Trump. 1000 minus 800 plus 100 is only 300. That's way less than 1000. Not a win, or win win, or any type of gain. It's a loss!
This CR bill contains a poison pill that cedes congresses' power, the people's power, to a totalitarian regime. Republicans seem willing to do that. Democrats cannot!
If Congress has no power to disapprove anything Trump does, and he can ignore the courts if they disagree, then we have ONE branch of government, not 3.
In which case, let's just disband congress and the Fed courts in the name of efficiency and saving $$.
I’m starting to think that Grampa Golf has something substantial on the Speaker. This kind of subservience to the leader-in the face of really bad policy & seeming instability-is very unpatriotic and pretty suspect. 😐
The Unitary Executive (dictator) is getting closer to reality every day. SCOTUS is already compromised (ala Iran /Russia/Venezuela) and now the Legislature is seeking to bar questioning of Presidential decisions. We are on VERY dangerous ground!
There must be push back from within their own party that they’re worried about. With a slim majority, they’re preventing any Republican joining the democrats to stop trump.
We need to support Democrats, Independents and anyone who is willing to take on the Trump administration come midterms. I know it seems a long time away, but people who didn’t take Trump seriously or didn’t vote need to wake up. We need to stop blaming Democrats when they are the minority.
Look at @gavinnewsom.bsky.social crawling up their holes. Are they all in on it together?? It would make sense as to why the nazi hasn't been stopped, people are still getting fired. They do nothing to protect their people.
We will. Have faith. Keep buildign relationships. The more people we connect with in our movement, the more power and flexible we are and more able we will be to stop these changes. and more importantly, correct them for the future.
Correction: gave up its power. They lost their status as a coequal branch of government the moment they allowed Trump and an unelected billionaire bureaucrat shut down departments under Congress’ authority.
Unbelievable. They really are as stupid as they’ve proven time and time again. They are caught up in levels of cowardice never perpetrated by Congress before. Giving up power? Did Elon or Trump drug them?
Molly, this is Hitler all over again.
Trump literally rules by FEAR.
Fear of the Fuehrer.
This is Fascism and it it the Republicans who are the enablers.
Trump and Elon Musk could not be doing what they are doing if the Republican Congress didn't let him.
Fetterman has been compromised. I’m ashamed to say I voted for him. I think he was promised some kickbacks from our state’s natural gas industry if he became a turncoat.
I voted for him as well and I’m disgusted with what he’s done. I didn’t vote for him in the first round though but between him and Oz, I went for him. What a terrible senator he’s been.
And on the Senate side, PA’s John Fetterman is going to roll over and help Republicans who will then cut Social Security and Medicare to help fund their trillion dollar tax cuts for the super rich. How many other Dems will join?
Not just Fetterman! A lot of our Democratic leadership have been looking undemocratic lately. They think just because they run under the party they will be shoe ins!
Repubs passed the 'Backdoor Budget' (bend over). VOTE THEM OUT! Support the Dems: Valimont in FL-1; Josh Weil in FL-6; Blake Gendebien in NY-21; Crawford for WI Supreme Court in the upcoming Special Elections. DONATE at https://www.actblue.com/directory? and State Legislatures at https://dlcc.org/ LOCK THEM UP!
Political suicide, this is not going to go well for them. I know people say, "Oh, if we have another election." we will, and it's going to be a blood bath. I predict the biggest slaughter in history.
Get Louder! Get Tough on GOP!

Each day will no longer be a day. This is where we are. Repubs just make shit up. Heads would explode if Democrats tried this. Why isn’t every freakin Democratic Member of Congress calling this crap out? I’m sick of the silence.
@schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov VOTE NO! Speaker Johnson has put in an enablement that GIVES TRUMP POWER OVER CONGRESS. If you vote yes, America is over, done. Call your senators everyone, call them now. This is the it.

The Republican-controlled House is giving up the House’s power.
Am I understanding that correct correctly?
Just wait until they invite him to open Congress.

Don't say he "can't" and that it's "illegal" because he does 20 illegal things every day.
I really wonder how many of them are being blackmailed and threatened?
"We're so fucked we're fucked"
Does this reset in the next Congress? Could it be undone with Democratic control of the body?
GOP MOBSTERS support the MOB BOSS!
Are we too stupid to recognize the reality?

The republican senate and house is a bunch of pussies you get voted in and then give that precious vote to the
Russian asset FYou republicans
Trump will be there for 12 years and we will not have a country.

Can anyone provide a better rationale for this behavior?

They’re already scared to do town halls… next step, refuse to vote on anything, and get a paycheck, healthcare and a pension.
Republicans in Congress are perfect examples of waste, fraud and abuse.
