Passage by the House is not veto proof, meaning the vote was largely symbolic and a way to get lawmakers on the record for their support of these tariffs on Canadian goods. Here is Bloomberg's Derek Walbank.
These votes sort of represent an increase in political pressure on the president to change course just months before the midterm elections. They also, though, represent a big difficulty for some swing district Republicans whose districts may be heavily affected by tariffs. but who have to face a very real question about whether or not they want to cross the president on his signature issue.
That is Bloomberg's Derek Wolbank. Now, passage of this measure comes as President Trump privately weighs quitting the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact he signed during his first term. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright is in Venezuela, where he'll make an assessment of the country's oil industry.

Now, Bondi also faced questions on President Trump's immigration crackdown, as well as the DOJ's attempt to gather voter data from various states. Columbia University said today it admitted a student to its dental school through an irregular process that coincided with fundraising solicitations to Jeffrey Epstein.
