has to renew them, otherwise they lapse, something like that, which, to be honest, seems like a pretty mild restraint on Trump's current, you know, insanity. So they could do that, even if they get enough Republicans to go along with it in the Senate.

It seems very unlikely that that legislation will even come for a vote on the House floor, given things that Speaker Mike Johnson has said about, like, Trump's making great deals. We have to be patient. He knows what he's doing. OK, based on what evidence? No clue.

Yeah, this is not encouraging. There are so many... so many ways that Congress could intervene. So they could do the thing that I was talking about before where they say any of these tariffs lapse unless we renew them. They could just say there is not an emergency right now because the power that Trump is using is

to impose these global tariffs is by declaring an emergency because there's this law, IEPA, I forget what it stands for, but one of the E's must stand for emergency. And it basically says the president has some wiggle room to impose tariffs if there's an emergency. And they could just say there isn't one. That's it. And then we're done. And they won't even do that. It's bizarre. It's

they clearly thought that having Congress and the president be separate branches would, would be sufficient to impose checks and balances on each other and the judiciary for that matter. And that's, that's not what happened. You know, now we have, it doesn't feel like we have multiple branches. We have multiple parties and we,

one of which is basically a cult at this point, so they're just too afraid to go against him. They know it's bad. They absolutely know it's bad. They will say so privately. Some of them will say that publicly, but they know it is making their constituents poorer, not just by tanking stock markets, but by... Raising prices, right?
