In a rare defeat, three House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congressā ability to strike down Trumpās tariffs.
With the threat of additional tariffs looming over foreign countries ā and the 2026 midterms ā House GOP leaders tried to adopt legislation Tuesday night that would prevent any lawmaker from forcing a vote on Donald Trumpās tariffs until August.
That effort failed, however, 214-217, after three Republicans joined all Democrats to defeat the legislation.
Tucked into a rule setting up floor consideration for a bill on U.S. energy security was language that would have prevented House lawmakers from challenging Trumpās tariffs until July 31. The language stipulates that certain days wonāt āconstitute a calendar dayā for the purpose of terminating national emergencies ā the authority Trump has used to impose the tariffs.
Theyāre not, theyāre laying out the very real possibility that the elections wonāt stop him and that genuine resistance will be needed, of which organising before that happens is paramount.
Why are you discouraging people from preparing for Trump to steal the the election, do you want Trump to succeed?
So you decided to discourage voting too.
Stop that.
