Good news: Due to (very valid!) concerns from Ds & Rs about the Senate-passed Russia sanctions bill's delegation of vague & sweeping new tariff powers to POTUS, the House has delayed consideration until at least after the midterms. Huzzah.

This silly cartoon needs a @scottlincicome version of the Kool Aid man bursting through the wall. I’m sure the lobbyists who benefit from the penalties the Jones Act imposes on the country are completely objective.

Is Schumer suddenly a free trader? No.
Is this solid evidence of Dems' midterm messaging and the political winds blowing hard against tariffs? https://t.co/7Z8FYOBuJ2

@scottlincicome @CatoInstitute Your mistake is thinking the global economy isnt subject to change,or that it cant or shouldnt be tilted in the US favour. Thinking Trump is dumb is also stupid. Regular people understand that cheap junk from china is a poor trade for ruined economy
