Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment.

To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing.

Republicans rejected it.

Congress could end this tariff nightmare, not tomorrow, but right now.

Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution:

“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises…”

Tariffs are a tax on exports. Keyword: TAX.

It's Congress' job! Trump tariffs are illegal.

The Griffin List A list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to early vote in the November 2024 election – whose votes Jefferson Griffin wants to not be counted. ...

The ruling comes after Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, who lost the race, challenged the eligibility of tens of thousands of 2024 voters. Those voters will now have 15 days to verify their eligibility, potentially changing the outcome of the election.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Beyer And DelBene Blast Republicans’ Hidden Tariff Provision Washington, March 11, 2025 U.S. Representatives Don Beyer (D-VA) and Suzan DelBene (D-WA), who serve on the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade, today issued a joint statement on a House vote on a provision hidden in a Republican rule that would effectively surrender congressional power over raising taxes and tariffs on the American people to Trump. The vote comes on a day when Trump announced huge new tariffs on one of America’s closest allies, amid widening economic damage from his chaotic trade policy. Beyer and DelBene said: “Every House Republican who votes for this measure is voting to give Trump expanded powers to raise taxes on American households through tariffs with full knowledge of how he is using those powers, and every Republican will own the economic consequences of that vote. It speaks volumes that Republicans are sneaking this provision into a procedural measure hidden from the American people. “Today Trump is further endangering the U.S. economy and hiking prices on the American people by increasing his destructive and pointless tariffs on Canada. There can be no doubt about how he will use the power Republicans are about to give him, and about the disastrous economic effects we have already seen from Trump’s tariffs. While he babbles about making Canada the 51st state, your groceries and housing are getting more expensive and your retirement accounts are getting crushed- and House Republicans are supporting him every step of the way. “The Constitution delegates authority setting tariffs, which are taxes, to Congress, and Congress retains the power to stop Trump from wrecking our economy. Yet House Republicans are choosing to surrender the power of their own votes to a reckless president, putting politics over the country and their constituents. We will continue urging our colleagues to come to their senses and save our economy from Trump’s tariff chaos.”

Republicans just snuck a provision surrendering power to revoke Trump's tariffs into a procedural vote. All Dems opposed. Every Republican who voted for this will own the economic consequences of expanding Trump's tariff powers. Statement with @repdelbene.bsky.social:

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."

Un-fucking-real.

5. Put your grandma’s Social Security check in danger by forcing out the acting Social Security Commissioner.

This isn’t just inefficient — it will hurt the people Donald Trump promised to help.

3. Fired the experts working to end bird flu (as egg prices go WAY up). Now frantically trying to find and rehire them.

4. Stopped the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from helping people who get scammed by Wall Street and giant corporations.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week?

To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

BREAKING: Senator Mitch McConnell announces that he will not seek reelection in 2026 — bringing an end to one of the single most destructive political careers in American history.

He will be remembered for his cruelty and greed and for helping pave the wave for MAGA fascism.

Good. Riddance.
