You ever have one of those moments where you can see the big picture? You have perfect clarity. Everything makes sense. You know what to do next and then you have a stray thought like "If cats had wings, they'd still just lay there." and you lose all that clarity. That's my life.

@avaughanjr @libsoftiktok Here ya go. Hold him accountable. The EBE program (Enumeration Beyond Entry), which streamlines the process for certain eligible non-citizens to get SSNs, was actually created in 2017 during President Trump's term to efficiently process those authorized to work.

@EricBurlison Uh....This isn't an application for a normal gun. Why does this person want to make a silencer? Did you read the application? Do you understand what this application is for?

The ATF denied a gun owner's application because he wrote "exercise my God given right" as his reason. That was apparently not good enough for them. At the end of the day, this is exactly why I introduced legislation to abolish the ATF.

@davidhanley72 @rep_movsd @miles_commodore I don't know any business that would just absorb a tariff fee. From the AP/AR side, if a tariff fee is on an invoice, that fee is typically a straight pass thru meaning if I get charged a $100 tariff, then my invoice to you would be product plus $100. I wouldn't absorb it.

@rep_movsd @miles_commodore Corporations often have about a 4% margin. It isn't huge. So a one-time expense that has already paid will cause a "machine shop" to go out of business. Riiiiight.

The left has been saying repeatedly that the tariffs will lead to additional costs being passed down to us the consumers. My question is why don’t they ever apply that same logic when they are screaming about raising corporate taxes on businesses?

@davidhanley72 @miles_commodore Corporate taxes aren't figured in to costs when developing a product for sale. Estimations for product development are always cost based. The only corporate tax I can think of that gets passed along would be your cable/ISP bill.

@miles_commodore I've raised this point to many people. No one has yet explained to me why tariffs get passed along, but corporate taxes don't. I have yet to see anyone change their position, despite being unable to answer this simple question.

The Biden Admin issued over 3.8 million social security numbers to noncitizens. That’s 3.8 million votes to sway an election. Democrats don’t want Voter ID bc they want mass amnesty for over 20 million illegals. The GOP needs to WAKE UP and PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT NOW!

Congressman Dan Meuser@RepMeuser·
It is important to be clear about what the Supreme Court’s decision on IEEPA does — and does not — do. First, the Court did not strike down the President’s broader trade authority. The President retains extensive tariff authority under longstanding statutes, including:     •    Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act (national security)     •    Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (unfair trade practices)     •    Section 201 safeguards     •    Section 338 of the Trade Act of 1930     •    Other congressionally delegated trade enforcement tools All tariffs imposed under those authorities remain fully in effect. Second, all trade agreements and commitments secured during this period remain in place. The Court’s ruling does not unwind negotiated deals, investment pledges, LNG purchase agreements, or manufacturing commitments. What the Court did do is remove a key leverage tool under IEEPA. That tool provided the flexibility to move quickly, impose broad reciprocal tariffs, and bring trading partners to the table. That flexibility helped:     •    Secure historic trade deals across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America     •    Attract trillions in new investment commitments     •    Drive large-scale purchases of American liquid natural gas     •    Reprioritize American manufacturing and supply chains I respectfully disagree with the Court’s interpretation. President Nixon used nearly identical statutory language in 1971 to impose a 10% global tariff. For decades, presidents relied on emergency trade authorities to protect American interests. Today, the Court adopted a narrower view of that authority. But this ruling does not end America First trade policy. @POTUS’s trade successes were not accidental — they were the result of strength, clarity, and willingness to use every lawful tool available. While the Court has now limited one of those tools, the President retains powerful and proven authorities to ensure our trading partners honor their commitments. America’s leverage remains strong. Our trade relationships remain intact. The President and Republicans in Congress will continue using every lawful authority available to protect American workers, strengthen domestic manufacturing, and secure fair treatment for the United States in the global economy.

@bluefire5583 @AnthonyMKreis Unless you're military or gone thru an international airport and dealt with a "duty free" shop, most people have never encountered that before. Its like those additional fees on cable bills. Don't know what they are but you still pay them.

Congressman John Rose@RepJohnRose·
Our nation just took a giant leap backward. @POTUS was in the middle of following through on a key campaign promise: to put America First. We were finally starting to see a leveling of the playing field with our global trade partners, after decades of unbalanced and misguided policies. The Trump Administration’s threat of tariffs, alone, was producing results. American workers, farmers, and American-made goods were at the center of these tariff policies. Nevertheless, it is the High Court’s opinion that it is now up to Congress to protect U.S. economic interests. I'm ready to lead the effort to empower the President to continue his very effective work.

@TomFitton Kavanaugh is correct because that is how the Constitution is written. Congress holds approval power on trade negotiations and tariffs. The Executive has the power to negotiate. Both branches are supposed to work together on this, not independently.

BREAKING: In a confused decision, a divided majority of the Supreme Court found that the congressional statue authorizing a president to "regulate importation" could allow President Trump to completely shut down imports but not impose the lesser penalty of tariffs. As Justice Kavanaugh observes in a sensible dissent: "As (the majority) interpret(s) the statute, the President could, for example, block all imports from China but cannot order even a $1 tariff on goods imported from China." The decision is an immediate loss for @RealDonaldTrump but also places our national security at risk in that it undermines a useful foreign policy tool for a president in national emergencies.

@ScottPresler Civics class - The Legislative must approve tariffs. Congress must approve trade deals. The Executive can negotiate and use tariffs as a negotiation lever, but Congress has to approve that trade deal. That is how our Constitution is written. The ruling upholds our Constitution.

SCOTUS struck down President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs. If a nation cannot stop other countries from ripping the U.S. off, then we are not a free nation. This ruling goes across our sovereignty. Coney Barrett, Gorsuch, & Roberts joined the democrats.

@MichaelARothman @scotus_wire Honestly, its holding to what the US constitution was designed to do. While the Executive can negotiate trade, the Legislative (Congress) is the one who has to approve it. The President should be working WITH Congress, not independently, not on a whim, not on if he likes someone.

𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗧𝗨𝗦 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗖𝗨𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗣’𝗦 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗙 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 — 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗖 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗪𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗕𝗘 𝗛𝗨𝗚𝗘 ⁣⁣⁣Let’s be very clear about what just happened. The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that the emergency powers law being used 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 give the president unlimited authority to impose tariffs whenever he wants. Not a small ruling. Not a technicality. A 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗧 on executive trade power. ⁣⁣⁣The administration’s argument was simple: The law says the president can “regulate” imports during emergencies — therefore tariffs fall under that power. SCOTUS basically said: 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗦𝗢 𝗙𝗔𝗦𝗧. 𝘐𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 “𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯” 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. In plain English? You don’t get 𝗨𝗡𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗙 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬 from vague emergency language. ⁣⁣⁣The Court went even further and made it painfully explicit: 𝘐𝘌𝘌𝘗𝘈 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴. That means the president can’t just declare an emergency and start imposing tariffs of 𝗔𝗡𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘, 𝗔𝗡𝗬 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗘, 𝗔𝗡𝗬 𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 without clear approval from Congress. ⁣⁣⁣And here’s the key legal bombshell: 𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Translation: 𝗡𝗢 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 = 𝗡𝗢 𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗦. ⁣⁣⁣This is why the ruling is such a massive deal economically. Tariffs weren’t just some side policy. They were a 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗖 𝗧𝗢𝗢𝗟 — used for trade leverage, manufacturing protection, and foreign policy pressure. Now that tool just got 𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗗 by the Court. ⁣⁣⁣And notice how fractured the decision was. Three justices dissented — meaning even inside SCOTUS there’s a major split over 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗖𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗖 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥. But the majority message? Crystal clear. No statute explicitly authorizing tariffs = 𝗡𝗢 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗙 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥. ⁣⁣⁣So what happens now? Either Congress steps in and grants explicit authority… Or future tariff strategies have to be rebuilt from the ground up using different legal frameworks. Because when the Supreme Court limits a president’s trade authority, it doesn’t just affect policy debates — it directly impacts 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗚𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦, 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗬. That’s why this ruling isn’t some niche legal story. It’s a 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗙𝗧 in how U.S. economic policy can be executed going forward. I'm sure we'll be hearing from the White House sooner vs later.
