Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced she & Senator Wyden are introducing a bill to end the state of emergency which has given the president the power to set tariffs and control the stock market.
Contact your Senator at (202) 224-2131 and ask them to vote that there’s NOT an economic emergency.

Briefly pausing tariffs doesn't fix Trump’s senseless plan for a new national sales tax. It only creates more chaos and uncertainty for businesses and families.
The Constitution gave Congress, not the president, the power to issue taxes for a reason. We need to take it back.

I just got the weirdest form letter from Tillis.
Usually when I scream at Tillis, I get something generic about Murica! but this one was “I have spent the last few days talking to business leaders about how tariffs affect them and this is not okay and I am sponsoring a bill to change it.”

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

one thing democrats do need to do, if they aren’t already, is to build an infrastructure to respond to the inevitable attempt to nullify the results of the midterms

Witkoff and Carlson talk about Europe exactly as Russian television propagandists do. Must dismiss the rich functional democracies where people lead long happy lives so that our own citizens settle for tawdry and impoverishing fascist oligarchy.
In MAGA world’s alternative reality, Gulf monarchies plus Israel are about to replace “dying Europe” as allies and trade partners.
“It could be much bigger than Europe. Europe is dysfunctional today,” Witkoff says.
Back on Earth:
Entire Middle East GDP: $3.7 trillion
🇪🇺🇬🇧🇨🇭🇳🇴 GDP: $25.5 trillion

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

As an American living in France back in the 90s, thought it was interesting how whenever there was some kind of government overreach, trains would stop,people wouldn’t show up to work, trucks and tractors would get out and block highways. We need French people energy here!
