Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?

Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.
