Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts.

Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations.

But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people.

See how this works?

400,000 have pre-registered to attend over 1,000 events in all 50 states. If you want to get involved, the first step is to show up.

While you're there, meet some folks and learn what other organizing is happening in your community.

This is not a subtweet about anybody, but if you're thinking about running for office, it doesn't have to be for Congress. There are so many important local elections where your community needs you to step up.

When calculating the cost, don't forget lost alliances and global leadership.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:

"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

Don't let up on Signalgate.

The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice.

The entire discussion is fait accompli.

Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates.

Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill.

Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors.

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell just introduced a bill to reassert Congress's power over tariffs.

The Trade Review Act of 2025 says a president must notify Congress about new tariffs within 48 hours of imposition. It requires Congress to approve them within 60 days or they expire.
