Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power to impose tariffs. But Congress passed laws that delegate some of that authority to the Executive Branch
- Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232)
- Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301)
- International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA - 1977)
- Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232)
- Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301)

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.
* very unconstitutional

“And I say this not as a partisan issue: Who are we as a country and what values do we stand for?”
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.
You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Elizabeth Warren is doing something. More peeps need to join. Imagine if 10s of thousands showed up at Mar-a-lago. Or the White House.
Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us.
