@SpeakerJohnson "No one can deny that the President’s use of tariffs has brought in billions of dollars"...from American consumers. WE pay these tariffs, Mr. Johnson. You should have taken the SCOTUS decision as a chance to break from Trump's boneheaded tariffs. Instead, you're yoked to them now

No one can deny that the President’s use of tariffs has brought in billions of dollars and created immense leverage for America’s trade strategy and for securing strong, reciprocal America-first trade agreements with countries that had been taking advantage of American workers for decades. Congress and the Administration will determine the best path forward in the coming weeks.

@RepCarlos If we're importing goods from "rogue regimes" and then imposing tariffs on ourselves to do so, we're dumber than this tweet makes you sound.

🚨The countries that think they’re off the hook, are SADLY mistaken! President Trump has MANY options to impose decisive economic action against rogue regimes!

@berniemoreno This tweet proves that you, sir, understand neither tariffs nor basic economics. China doesn't "pay up" any of these tariffs. We, the American people, do. If the SCOTUS decision is a "betrayal," will you be moving to impeach those judges, or are you just blustering?

SCOTUS’s outrageous ruling handcuffs our fight against unfair trade that has devastated American workers for decades. These tariffs protected jobs, revived manufacturing, and forced cheaters like China to pay up. Now globalists win, factories investments may reverse, and American workers lose again. This betrayal must be reversed and Republicans must get to work immediately on a reconciliation bill to codify the tariffs that had made our country the hottest country on earth!

@RepStutzman Mr. Stutzman - you seem to misunderstand how tariffs work. We the American taxpayers pay them. They might help when tariffs are placed on imports that compete with domestic productiong by encouraging us to buy lower-priced domestic goods - but that's not what these tariffs do.

Nice of the lance to go down two goals so early. I’ll find some way to spend the next hour or so of my day. It is beautiful out, after all.

@PowerKanter @RepDonBeyer This is pretty much the opposite of one of our legal system's founding principles: the Blackstone Ratio, which states that it's better to let guilty people go free than to convict innocent people. Now here you are stating that merely having an accent justifies being arrested.

We still need to deport all the illegal aliens. Doesn't matter if a few people are inconvenienced or embarrassed by it. This guy with a heavy foreign accent needs to understand it is the fault of all the illegals from Mexico, meaning it is very suspicious when the address is given and they need to check out a guy who might be lying to them.

ICE detained a U.S. citizen in Northern Virginia with guns drawn. He offered to show ID and told the officers he was an American citizen, but they handcuffed him anyway. The man is a Trump voter, but says he is reconsidering his support after he was targeted for being Hispanic:
