The #Senate approved a measure to block some of the #tariffs #Trump has imposed on #Canada, w/a handful of #Republicans joining #Democrats to…halt levies set to take effect this week.

The measure is all but certain to stall in the #House, where #GOP leaders moved preemptively to shut down any attempt to end Trump’s tariffs. But Senate passage on a vote of 51 to 48—hours after Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on >100 trading partners…, sent a signal of #bipartisan opposition to Trump’s #TradeWar.

Speaker #MikeJohnson is facing #bipartisan criticism—and public ridicule—after abruptly shutting down the #HouseOfRepresentatives on Tuesday afternoon for the rest of the week. The move came after a #Republican proposal with bipartisan support, which would allow members with newborns to #vote remotely, disrupted his legislative agenda. Johnson, who often portrays himself as a devoted family man, opposed a rule change to accommodate new parents

"The rich get richer, except this time Big Government is fighting for the little guy. Yes, you read that correctly and, no, it makes no sense to me either. Apparently, the exception is right-to-repair laws which are being pushed by—wait for it—a effort that is literally scolding to quit gatekeeping everything and give consumers access to parts, services, and their own personal vehicle data."

Unfamiliar with AIPAC and therefore wonder why so many on the self-branded "good team" are siding with evil? For their jobs. The "good" guys are cool with letting evil slide if they get to keep their jobs. JOBS!

How much harm, suffering, destruction and death would YOU sweep under the rug for your JOB?!

The word that springs to mind for this is "collaborator."

The Lever · How The Israel Lobby Silenced Democratic DissentAfter AIPAC targeted a Jewish Democratic congressman, most Dem lawmakers won’t risk pressing Israel to stop its war.

One assumption that was made throughout the debate & in the analysis of the overwhelming racist result is that all those apparently supporting a "Yes" vote actually desired a "Yes" outcome.

I believe that to be a naive idea, one can destroy an idea with faint praise possibly better than with outright opposition.

There is never going to be a Treaty, there was never ever going to be a Treaty, the Neoliberals & other racists decided that long ago.

This recent debacle was just them making sure of that by setting up a straightforward moral decision of a simple black & white issue as though there was something to be debated, then confusing the issue to the best of their ability.

This result will enable them to deny any possibility of anything even vaguely resembling a Treaty, because, you know ... "the will of the people".

Machiavelli lives.
