Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.
Tariffs are actually controlled by law. Trump can only raise tariffs because the current law says the president can declare an emergency and change rates. Congress could actually pass a law that repeals **all** presidential discretion on tariff rates.
A pivotal group of Senate Republicans is set to deliver a symbolic rebuke to President Trump's tariffs on Canadian products.
Support from four Republicans would give a Democratic resolution to block Trump's Canadian tariffs enough votes to pass in the Senate if all 47 Democrats also vote in favor.

BREAKING: We're suing the National Institutes of Health over their politically-motivated purge of research grants.
This is an unlawful attack on scientific progress that puts lives at risk.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

RFK announcement puts a fine point on something I've been trying to articulate and is a theme of the Trump years. It's something I've wrestled with and that a lot of Dem messaging has gotten wrong. Part of what Trump does is constantly divide the country along the lines of pro-system and anti-system

The point of nominating someone like Gaetz as AG or Tulsi as DNI is to force you to eat this shit and lose so much hope for something real that you give up.
Period. This is systematic and weaponized abuse. It’s meant to break your will.

fundamentally this is what Trump administrations are all about: the guys. there will be new guys every week. they will startle you, you'll be astounded by them, and then as quickly as they appeared they will fade into an indistinguishable mass, leaves on the forest floor.
Trump choosing a Fox anchor to be Secretary of Defense is my first real "is this a dream?" moment since election day.

Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work.
His advice to dems: Lead on your values.
This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.
