Senator Grassley introduced the Trade Review Act of 2025, bringing tariff oversight back to Congress where it belongs. This needs to happen ASAP. I already called my senator and my representative and left a message of support with Senator Grassley. I encourage you to call today. Here is a script you can read (courtesy of ChatGPT) -
"Hello, my name is [your name], and I am a constituent from [your county and state]. I'm reaching out to express my strong support for the Trade Review Act of 2025, recently introduced by Senators Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell. This bipartisan legislation seeks to restore Congress's constitutional authority over trade policy by requiring congressional approval for any new tariffs imposed by the executive branch. Given the significant impact that tariffs can have on our economy and local communities, it's crucial that such decisions undergo proper legislative oversight. I urge [Senator/Representative's Name] to support this important bill to ensure transparent and balanced trade policies that benefit all Georgians. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter."
No! Let it tank until the US citizens remove Trump and FElon from our WH. Why would you want to keep them safe and destroying our country? F'k them! You want the easy way out of this shitshow. No, give them terror and threats of harm as they do to our children just like they are doing to us. I already wrote to the Senators in my state. maybe Georgia needs to stop being so damn stupid voting for a child rapist as president.
Inaction is a big part of why we are here and exactly what they want. Congress has abdicated their responsibilities to the executive branch for years - inaction by us will only bring more inaction by them.
So, you want to "strap on" and fight...do you have any professional training to go to war? We leave it to those who can take care of this. Our veterans are far from weak.
How about the loss of our democracy and freedom. Who TF do they think they are disrespecting our military? The only suckers and losers I see are in our WH! My dad served 12 yrs in the US Army. He never came home until I was 2 or 3 yrs. old. In and out of the Naval Hospital in Philly. I respect you. Be safe.
Me too, Cat. She needs to be told every day what a POS she is. All she can do is threaten us and our safety and that of our children. a talking empty head.
We’ve all seen this coming. We KNEW he would destroy our lives. Are we going to sit here and take it? Are we that lazy and afraid? Whatever you’re doing- do more. Fight for what so many died for. I beg you all!
what can i do, i wish i could do more, im disabled and can barely leave my bedroom most days i feel so helpless, i feel like nothing i can do makes any impact
I know and I hear you!!! I feel your pain. Write more letters. Make more calls. Stop buying from them. And show up this Saturday and next Saturday! I am no one… but they will not take me alive. I have worked my whole life, probably just like you have. WE DESERVE TO KEEP what little we have. There are more of us than there are them. So many of them can’t even see what’s happening. We are smarter than them and we know what they are taking from us! I love my adult child too much to give away her future. And I respect my veterans too much to let their sacrifices be wasted. WE DO HAVE POWER, we just have to take it back.
I think speaking up like you are here, engaging with others, telling your story — all those things count. Plenty of people (myself included) read the comments. We all need to stay hopeful and motivated. The reminder that not everyone has the same abilities might be just the motivation that one person needs to do what they can.
SARA, I understand your frustration. I have difficulty getting around myself, but there are things you can do. You can make phone calls, write letters, get friends and family to join the Watchdog Coalition, write on Bluesky and Substack, etc. Your voice is just as powerful as anyone else's. I'm not able to march, but I can take my walker and stand, or sit on it, to my Congressman's office tomorrow. At least you can encourage others. You are not alone.🥰
Brandi, you matter and your voice matters. You said you are disabled. Yes, it may be difficult, or impossible, for you to march, but your help is needed and you also may need help. I don’t know if you receive disability or not, but if you do, I want you to continue to receive it. We all deserve basic protection and human rights. You, me, veterans and brown people aren’t a “problem” Billionaires wrecking our lives so they can stay rich are the problem. Elon gave 25 million away trying to sway a judge’s election. I won’t see that much in my lifetime. They are taking school away from our kids. Turning us all into slaves. They will never be satisfied with what they steal from us. You matter, please don’t let anyone make you think that you don’t count. Every one of us matters. Keep sending letters and postcards. Keep calling. Anything you do helps. Every tiny piece of action we take against them is part of a larger picture. I sincerely appreciate your help.
Thank you for your heartfelt post. I agree with you 100%. We leave the doing to those who can. The rest of us march, protest peacefully, and sign those petitions, mail those postcards! i believe in our veterans, in our resisters.
I understand, but you just keep signing petitions to get rid of our corrupt politicians and Congress. I do that every day. We let "damage control" do what they do best when they are strapped and ready. We do what we can and we leave the "doing" to our brave, strong men and women who want this to end before we are all sick and homeless. Believe me, I know how difficult it is to be patient.
He sucks. Playing golf while families grieve their dead solders and families unable to feed their family. We are in Costco now loading up and I honestly have never ever seen this many people stalking up on huge amount of rice, flour, sugar, toilet paper, and canned goods.
Can anyone tell me what he hopes to accomplish with this? Like what is his delusional fantasy by engaging in a trade war with the entire world? Or is he just doing it for a weird attempt at power?
I have to assume that he and his ilk are personally benefitting from manipulating the market and additionally the chance that public outrage could lead to his imposing martial law
It will eventually lead to martial law. So, what do we do? Let them keep taking from us and then kill us? Boston Massacre started the American revolution. I will not accept this King.
Our kids were getting killed in school so they are abolishing education and bringing back child labor.
If they kill me, at least I die trying to be free and keep my fellow Americans and fellow humans and my allies free. I don’t want to die because I’m executed by MAGA on my freshly cut lawn because I read books and think people deserve to survive.
Not sure what the Fed can do. This is fiscal policy. Lowering interests would acknowledge the panic.
Only if the maga cultists wake up in Congress for fear of losing their jobs can they revoke the national emergency underpinning these tariffs. Slim bet. And Krasnov will veto. We’re in for some more pain. Europe, Africa, South America, Asia, Australia will all retaliate against the US.
If only we impeached him when we had two chances. Turtle McConnell can go to hell.
I can hardly believe a so called business man is so wreckless with our country. What on Gods green earth is he thinking? I saw last night how he determined the different tariffs and it made no sense at all! Trump you are evil and you must be stopped!
Crazy how we screamed this from the rooftops before the election. I’m so shocked.

Hi! Veteran here! I 2nd that ^ “What?” This has nothing to do with us. Trade wars aren’t the sort of wars we fight in.
How about the loss of our democracy and freedom. Who TF do they think they are disrespecting our military? The only suckers and losers I see are in our WH! My dad served 12 yrs in the US Army. He never came home until I was 2 or 3 yrs. old. In and out of the Naval Hospital in Philly. I respect you. Be safe.
What?
LOL! it's a military term. Getting ready to fight. You said inaction ....what I said is an action.
just emailed my reps!
Just emailed AND called my reps. Thank you!
Thank you. I sent mine now
Are you about to post this on your page and tag my page?
Republicans are losing money in the stockmarket, which is why they are whining. It's ok until it hits them personally.
Like all Republicans
Good! let them feel the heat like they throw at us every day with their propaganda and idle threats.
The penguins of the Heard and McDonald Islands have a message for the President: FAFO.
Can’t wait to see kkkaroline gaslight us on this
Me too, Cat. She needs to be told every day what a POS she is. All she can do is threaten us and our safety and that of our children. a talking empty head.

I'm disabled as well I feel the same way

GET OUT TOMORROW AND PROTEST
Ron Johnson is mentally unstable. He needs to resign. He is complicit in what is happening.
Resign? LOL! Lock him up for treason. He is an enemy of the people as all MAGAs are.
Is there any common sense among these damn republicans?? I think not!!
A common sense of terror at what will happen to them should they even raise a squeak of protest or
question the authority if The King of lunacy
Well hopefully in the midterms they will all be voted out!!
Will we live that long? Will we be able to vote by then? They are taking away more of our rights every single day.
Oh I know!! Scary times we are living in. Let’s scream and fight back!! Let our voices be heard.
Dump probably: "How dare they impose tariffs after we imposed ours!?"
He sucks. Playing golf while families grieve their dead solders and families unable to feed their family. We are in Costco now loading up and I honestly have never ever seen this many people stalking up on huge amount of rice, flour, sugar, toilet paper, and canned goods.

Power.
I think he thinks this will bring back manufacturing.
Yep! That is how stupid the Orange Shit Gibbon is.
And to think ALL of this is unnecessarily fabricated for a minuscule number of people to benefit. I’d rather just be watching the movie than living it

Played it wrong? Seriously? This is not a freaking game, you imbecile! Trump just keeps on exposing how truly ignorant he is.
I can hardly believe a so called business man is so wreckless with our country. What on Gods green earth is he thinking? I saw last night how he determined the different tariffs and it made no sense at all! Trump you are evil and you must be stopped!
Yes! Exactly. We have no other options. No one is coming to save us.
