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.

If you have a Republican representing you in the House or Senate, call them to demand they undo Trump's tariffs. They're already shaken by the 20 point shift in Florida and the Wisconsin loss. You can fuel that feeling.

$11M is less than it cost for Trump’s 3 hour trip to the Superbowl. Double, if not triple, what has been spent on Trump golfing so far this year. Nearly 4x less than what DOGE has been paid. The cruelty is the point…

"Why are you deleting photographs of black Medal of Honor winners?" seems like an incredibly easy and straightforward question for any reporter covering Trump or Hegseth, or attending a White House or DoD press briefing, to ask publicly and repeatedly.

If Trump campaigned honestly on “no pain, no gain” or “shut up about egg prices” how many votes would he lose? Or would racism and transphobia still win out? #TrumpRecession #TradeWar

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

To be clear, I believe that the US should be thanking Zelenskyy and Ukraine for standing up and defending freedom. They’re the ones bearing this burden in lives and disruption. It’s only the small and insecure who think they should be thanking us.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
Hegseth had previously taken aim at Brown. “First of all, you gotta fire, you know, you gotta fire the chairman of Joint Chiefs,” he said flatly in a podcast in November. And in one of his books, he questioned whether Brown got the job because he was Black.

“Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt — which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter,” Hegseth wrote.Caine’s military service includes combat roles in Iraq, special operations postings and positions inside some of the Pentagon’s most classified special access programs. However, it does not include key assignments that were identified in law as prerequisites for the job, with an exemption for the president to waive them if necessary in times of national interest.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
