The #Senate approved a measure to block some of the #tariffs #Trump has imposed on #Canada, w/a handful of #Republicans joining #Democrats to…halt levies set to take effect this week.

The measure is all but certain to stall in the #House, where #GOP leaders moved preemptively to shut down any attempt to end Trump’s tariffs. But Senate passage on a vote of 51 to 48—hours after Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on >100 trading partners…, sent a signal of #bipartisan opposition to Trump’s #TradeWar.

#Trump says that #Congress should repeal a #law that would supercharge #US manufacturing of semiconductor chips. The #CHIPS & #Science Act was signed into law by Pres #Biden & heralded as a #bipartisan victory ensuring the US would no longer rely on foreign countries to produce the chips needed in a majority of the #technology we use. Along w/ #Democrats, 24 House #Republicans voted to approve the bill. Many of them were targeted by #FarRight colleagues & #MAGA for backing a Democrat bill.

U.S. Senators Call Out #AutomotiveExecs for Opposing #RightToRepair

Story by Beverly Braga, December 21, 2024

"The rich get richer, except this time Big Government is fighting for the little guy. Yes, you read that correctly and, no, it makes no sense to me either. Apparently, the exception is right-to-repair laws which are being pushed by—wait for it—a #bipartisan effort that is literally scolding #automakers to quit gatekeeping everything and give consumers access to parts, services, and their own personal vehicle data."

The justices said they would consider whether the #law, passed w/ #bipartisan support to address #NationalSecurity concerns, violates the #FirstAmendment rights of… #TikTok users & owners of the wildly popular video-sharing platform.

Oral argument is scheduled for Jan 10, & a ruling could come anytime after that.

TikTok had asked the #SCOTUS to intervene before Jan 19, the deadline Congress set for TikTok’s #China-based parent company, #ByteDance, to sell the platform or be barred in the #US.

Good News from the #Election no one's talking about: #Maine #Question1, which limits campaign contributions by #billionaires, passes with NEARLY THREE QUARTERS OF THE VOTE.

This shows MASSIVE, #bipartisan, money-overcoming support for a #BallotMeasure to remove money from politics, paving a clear path for similar ballot measures in other states in 2022.

This is the kind of thing we need to rally around, as #activists: undermining the money in #US #Politics, #corruption, and the #TwoParty System in general.

"It was a horrible bill, stupid bill," said #Trump. "It's called ‘extreme power’. You have #ExtremePower... You say, 'Close the border,' & the border's closed. That's it, very simple."

#Harris has said she would push for the passage of the #bipartisan #legislation, which would expand capacity for migrant detention, restrict standards for #asylum claims, & allow the president to shut down the #border if crossings by undocumented #immigrants reached a certain threshold.
