Summary

Top Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are criticizing Trump’s new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, warning they will raise prices for American families.

Trump is imposing 25% tariffs on most Canadian and Mexican goods and 10% on Chinese imports, prompting retaliatory moves.

Democrats argue the tariffs unfairly hurt workers while benefiting corporations. Trump acknowledged potential economic pain but defended the move.

Meanwhile, Democratic senators introduced a bill to require congressional approval for tariffs, and even business groups allied with Trump are voicing concerns.

    Well let’s start building that majority who can actually show up and vote. And maybe next time don’t weaken your own candidates.

      Maybe next time listen to someone to the left of Netanyahu.

          They had the audacity to say this:

          I voted for your pro-genocide candidate

          And then feel righteous in accusing others of “genocide support” for voting for Harris.

            It’s the part about feeling righteous, full stop. Even if we are standing neck deep in the overflowing swamp created by donvict and his thugs, with millions of people being victimized, they can still feel superior because they reluctantly voted for “your candidate” that is “pro-genocide”.

            Sigh. Well, at least they voted.

              Good point. It’s just…. Man. Their entitlement-infused ignorance is so gods-damned annoying.
