We'll see you next time. Jääkiekon nuorten MM-kisat. 26. joulukuuta alkaen TV5 ja HBO Maxilla. Tarvitsisin auton heti käyttöön. Talvikäyttöön, mökkireissukäyttöön, hiihtoretkikäyttöön tai oikeastaan sähkökäyttöön. Käyttöautosta tuhansia autoja joka käyttöön jo 55 vuoden ajan. Myös kotiin toimitettuna. Käyttöauto. Arkeen ja unelmiin. On this vote, the aides are 52 and then aides are 48 and the joint resolution is passed.
That right there was the moment where Donald Trump got blindsided by the Senate, which the MAGA Republicans control, and they voted against his tariffs against Brazil. Those tariffs are crushing American companies.
How did the Senate vote to overturn Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil and when did it happen?
I think more significantly, American consumers. We all see the price of coffee skyrocketing, the price of beef skyrocketing, the price of other critical commodities that we get from Brazil skyrocketing. And in the Senate, you had a number of MAGA Republican senators who tried to pretend that they're moderate, joining forces with Democrats to send a powerful message against Donald Trump saying, that we do not support these tariffs. Now, it's important to note that in the House of Representatives, MAGA Mike Johnson has ordered that the MAGA Republicans don't even show up to work.
Which Republican senators joined Democrats to block Trump’s Brazil tariffs and why did they object?
I think in the past 100 days, they've worked about 12 days in the House of Representatives as they continue to cover up the Epstein files and refuse to swear in. Congresswoman-elect from Arizona, Adelita Grijalva, Also, previously, the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a resolution or a piece of legislation where they've said that anything that Donald Trump says about tariffs overrides anything they can do in the House. So they've. preemptively blocked their own power under Article One of the Constitution, the power of the purse to tax and for tariffs, but the Senate sending a clear message right there. So the Senate voted 52 to 48 to overturn Trump's
How are Trump’s tariffs impacting consumer prices like coffee and beef?
50% tariffs on Brazil. The five Republicans that joined with Democrats include Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, and Tom Tillis. As I just noted, the measure seems to be dead on arrival in the House of Representatives as House Republicans voted earlier this year to block all votes challenging Trump's tariffs until March 2026. But we're also seeing growing discontent among some notable names in the House of Representatives, MAGA Republicans, whether it's Marjorie Taylor Greene being very outspoken against the Trump regime and others, which I'll cover in this video as well. Senator Ruben Gallego says, breaking the Senate just passed a bill to reverse Trump's reckless tariffs on Brazil.
About time Trump realizes he can't make coffee beans grow in the United States. His chaotic tariffs just make your morning cup more expensive. Senator Elizabeth Warren says coffee prices are up 21%, ground beef prices are up 13%. Big reason why, Trump's chaotic tariffs on Brazil. I voted to repeal these tariffs along with every Democrat and a few Republicans, and it passed in the Senate. All eyes now on the House Republicans who are still on vacation, as Burgess Everett writes.
What evidence did farm leaders give at Senate hearings about tariffs and fertilizer costs?
Some Republicans are also now rooting for the United States Supreme Court to block Donald Trump's tariffs against the world. That case with the Supreme Court, we've covered on the Midas Touch Network briefing from former Chair members, the chairpersons rather of the Federal Reserve, former top treasury secretaries, former Federal Reserve Board of Governors, 34 federal judges joined forces in an amicus brief, and others, a lot of the blue state governors, all the blue state governors. And here are just a sample of what some Republicans said. A GOP senator too cowardly to be identified said, we are the ones who dictate tax policy. Tariffs are a form of taxation. You think? Maybe you want to put your name out there.
Susan Collins says the constitutional authority is pretty clear investing in Congress. I know, but does that make you Are you perturbed, Susan Collins? Are you perturbed by this?
