On the subject of tariffs I have learned this: Regarding legislative approval for implementation of tariffs, Representatives Suzan DelBene of Washington and Don Beyer of Virginia, two Democratic lawmakers, have introduced legislation seeking to restrict Trump's ability to unilaterally levy tariffs, accusing him of a "blatant abuse of executive power. Congress must reassert its authority by reining in this egregious misuse of the law” stated the lawmakers.

We must get our lawmakers to support this legislation on an urgent basis.

This morning I will be making my calls and sending my emails, but my reps are all Democrats. My family and friends in other states will be doing the same. Please call your reps no matter if you are in a red state or a blue state and spread the word! These tariffs impact every one of us and include Governors, Senators, Reps, etc no matter what state we live in.

We will all be very negatively impacted. Tragically, these tariffs will also really hurt those trying to rebuild after losing absolutely everything in Hurricanes Helene and Milton, then horrible flooding in western North Carolina, and the tragic losses in the LA fires. This includes homes, schools, libraries, places of worship, shopping districts, infrastructure, clinics, etc.

The other side is blanketing us with all of this on a daily basis. We must dig deep to fight back.

Look back in comments for a link to the finance committee. I sent emails to the Republican members holding them responsible for this illegal breach and demanding they stop this now.
