YOU have the power of the PURSE. Save us!

These tariffs are madness and *not* “temporary pain” that will later help us. We know this. The world knows this. Please do EVERYTHING you can to stop this self inflicted financial catastrophe. Stop Mike Johnson: a day is 24 hours. That rule clear. The House redefining a day is insane. As Senators,

The Trade Review Act of 2025

The Trade Review Act of 2025, modeled after the War Powers Resolution of 1973, would reestablish limits on the President's ability to impose unilateral tariffs without Congress' approval. This bill needs to be passed immediately before our economy and the world’s economy is fully destroyed!!!
