Republicans love Trump’s economy-destroying regressive taxes
By 
Your reminder that Congress can take away the president’s power to drive the economy into the lake because he heard Cybertrucks can swim anytime, but the Republican conference won’t do that because they affirmatively support higher prices and fewer jobs:
A bipartisan measure that sought to undo the sweeping tariffs that President Donald Trump imposed on most countries earlier this month failed in the GOP-led Senate on Wednesday.
The vote ended in a tie, 49-49, with three Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — joining all Democrats present in support of the resolution, which was designed to terminate the national emergency Trump declared to implement his global tariffs.
Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who voiced support for the measure, were absent for the vote. It needed a simple majority to pass.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Paul used a legislative procedure to force a vote on the measure in the Senate, where Republicans hold a 53-47 majority.
The entire Republican Party owns Trump’s self-induced recession.
