How did the Senate vote to repeal Trump’s tariffs on Canada and what was the tally?
On this vote, the yeas are 50, the nays are 46.
The joint resolution is passed.
That right there was the United States Senate with the help of some Republicans voting to cancel Donald Trump's tariffs against Canada. Now, two days ago, you'll recall we reported here how the United States Senate with some votes by Republicans voted to cancel Donald Trump's tariffs against Brazil. Those 50% tariffs Trump imposed arbitrarily, capriciously, and maliciously against Brazil. Also yesterday, you had at least 14 GOP members, get this, in the House of Representatives wrote to the Trump regime and said that your plan... to import argentinian beef and your 40 billion dollar bailout of argentina is not something that the farmers of the united states want to see 14 gop members in the house
And there's more. We also have been hearing rumblings that Senator Thune, the MAGA Republican majority leader in the Senate, is trying to figure out a way to get out of this government shutdown because he realizes that Americans overwhelmingly blame Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans in the Senate and the House for this shutdown. Of course they do. They control all of the branches of government and they don't have a healthcare plan except they want to rip healthcare away from 20 million Americans and rip away SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs, from 42 million Americans. And Thune is getting heat from his Republican members in the Senate. And then of course we're seeing people like Marjorie Taylor Greene
And even Senator Hawley out there saying that this effort to get rid of the snap for 42 million Americans that's taking place right now by the Trump regime is unacceptable.
Which Republican senators joined Democrats to cancel tariffs and why does that matter?
Josh Hawley from Missouri and Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia. Let's just break it all down. So let's start off with what happened yesterday, where the United States Senate with some votes from MAGA Republican senators as well, they voted to cancel the tariffs against Canada. Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul joined with the Democrats and the Senate voted 50 to 46 to stop Trump's tariffs on Canada. Now, We shouldn't think that that's gonna pass in the House of Representatives. MAGA Mike, Donald Trump's puppet and stooge, has already voted to relinquish all power that the House has over its Article I authority, which is the taxation authority, and tariffs are taxes. So MAGA Mike's not even gonna take this up as a vote, but at least in the Senate, a statement has been made by the United States Senate on a decently bipartisan basis.
I won't get carried away here, but on a decently bipartisan basis that Trump's tariffs against Canada are unlawful and should be repealed. Remember two days ago, I reported the Senate also voted to cancel Trump's tariffs against Brazil. Same thing, the House of Representatives under MAGA Mike are not going to take up a similar resolution. In fact, they've already voted that they've relinquished all of their power over Donald Trump's tariffs against the world. But by the way, this is going now before the United States Supreme Court, which is going to get ready to rule soon on Donald Trump's tariffs against the world. So a statement being sent there as well. But then in the House of Representatives yesterday as well, here's what we saw in one of the biggest breaks from Trump.
Fourteen GOP members told Trump administration its plan to bring in Argentinian beef and do a 40 billion dollar bailout of Argentina. It's not okay, and it undermines American cattle producers. And we've seen Ways and Means Committee's chair, Jason Smith, former Trump administration 1.0 officials, Max Miller and Beth Van Dunn. I mean, here's what they wrote. They wrote to Secretary Brooke Rollins, Department of Agriculture, and Ambassador Greer. This is how they started off, because they're pathetic. But they go, we write to commend the Trump administration's leadership in supporting American farmers. But then it says, we respectfully draw your attention, however, to the recently announced plan to expand imports of Argentine beef as a means of easing retail prices.
