The Senate bill to curb the president's tariff powers now has seven Republican co-sponsors.
The bill would make it so that the president must notify Congress of new tariffs within 48 hours.
Congress would then have to approve them within 60 days or they expire.

The president of the United States and the richest person in the world are already shutting down the government.
Why should Congress give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their pillage?

We sued the Trump administration over the removal of scientific research by private doctors from a government website.
The government cannot censor vital scientific research to advance its political agenda.
If Donald Trump can override our elected officials’ control of the purse strings, we are effectively entering a period of taxation without representation.

But there is no energy emergency—the U.S. is the world’s top oil & gas producer. This is a power grab to roll back protections.
Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

NEW: Trump says that tariffs of 25% on Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% on China, will take effect on March 4th.
I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.
When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”
This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.
H. R. 238 To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can qualify as a practitioner eligible to prescribe drugs if authorized by the State involved and approved, cleared, or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, and for other purposes. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Republican Congressman David Schweikert has introduced a bill to begin the process of letting AI prescribe drugs.
Instead of investing in the U.S. healthcare system, this bill paves the way for doctors to be replaced by AI.
The GOP’s “SAVE Act” is just another voter suppression scheme. Requiring passports or birth certificates to vote would block millions—especially women, rural voters, and low-income Americans. Don’t be fooled. This isn’t about election security—it’s about rigging the rules.

Another way of saying this is that a lot of supposed liberals and leftists bought into the propaganda that opposition to affirmative action and diversity were about merit. So, now that those subtle racist lies have reached the obviously racist endgame, they are left flatfooted because they helped.
Donald Trump started the D.E.I. program he now blames for the Washington, D.C. plane crash.
He doesn’t want you to know this. You should spread the word. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
"where are all the protests?"
read our series showing the legacy of both the Trump and Biden admins—from BLM in the 2010s, to Standing Rock, to George Floyd, to the Palestine encampments—as protest suppression and criminalization. politicians want to call blocking traffic and masking "terrorism."
Trump's illegal freeze on billions of dollars allocated by law could:
-Hurt people in federally subsidized housing
-Block maternal and child health grants
-Halt emergency public health efforts
-Limit lead reduction efforts
-Hurt students on scholarship
-Harm hospitals
And much more.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's White House ordered a pause in all federal grants and loans, a sweeping decision that could disrupt education and health care programs, housing assistance, disaster relief and a host of other initiatives that depend on billions of federal dollars reut.rs/4hywjRE
Donald Trump is pardoning insurrectionists and renaming geographic landmarks to distract you from the fact he is literally about to freeze all federal assistance dollars.
He is flooding the zone to distract you. Don't let him!
An email obtained by NPR says NIH employees are subject to a travel freeze and offers of employment are being rescinded. Scientists worry about disruptions to critical research.

"When a bill has been filed that would regulate what a man is able to do with his own body in his own home, it suddenly has people in an uproar."

Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo A Trantifa group is upset that no one has applied to house trans "refugees" from conservative states in Trump's America. Pride Was a Riot, a group that assaults women who speak out, is promoting the cause with Trans Rescue Action. The nonprofit's website has no way to apply for help, only to give money or "apply" to host a squatter.
Make Andy Ngo mad by applying to be a safe house or donating!
One share = one milkshake against a man who is a threat to our community & makes kill lists for atomwaffen.
We will be posting a link to a reputable program working on re-housing Trans migrants from Red States into California.
You can fill an application to house, you can donate or you can share with a friend who needs it. Please boost this message to support when we share this link.
I think about this all the time. Imo humanity's true underlying sickness is narcissism, survival trauma, and lack of empathy, until our system accounts for helping every single person through those, I expect the cycle to continue
