@NancyAFrench Keep em coming!

@LindseyGrahamSC Good news Senator Graham! The judge actually ruled this can go forward as long as Congress passes it. And since you’re in Congress that means you have the power to make it happen!

[Susan Williams @SusanWi08034252]

@sofiakinzinger More of this please!

[Susan Williams @SusanWi08034252]

@greggnunziata Completely agree. The public gets to influence it by electing legislators. They need to elect representatives who will write laws to get the desired outcome.

@jason_c_howk From what I read in Johnson’s tweet was that he was deported and then entered again illegally so I would interpret that to mean he was not invited.

@JohnDalyBooks @BernardGoldberg The RNC platformed him during the Republican convention. Seems pretty representative to me.

@ianbremmer Does a retweet count?

[Susan Williams @SusanWi08034252]

@stephenfhayes @JoshKraushaar So happy to see this. Especially the part about appealing to a general audience. I would love to understand more about legal challenges ti executive orders but find that AO is sometimes a little too technical for me.

@neoavatara You’re right. He seems to be referring to people like @elonmusk .

[Susan Williams @SusanWi08034252]

@StephenM If by “Democrats” you mean all 9 Supreme Court justices believe people should have due process then yes you’re correct.

@jimgeraghty I’m thinking his own since Congress is a willing accomplice to this. 🤷‍♀️

Trump and and his team have failed to answer the two most fundamental tariff questions:

1) *What Does Success Look Like?*
What's the specific goal and the metric to be accountable to? Is it:
- No trade deficit with any country (impossible)?
- Other countries cut their tariffs (they offered to!)?
- Is there a manufacturing jobs target?
- Onshored industries like garments?
- An economic growth or investment target?
- A tax revenue target?
- Ego-driven intimidation of U.S. corporations?
- Or just to end intl trade?

2) *What Does Failure Look Like?*
What can finally prove to you that this did not work?
- A market collapse? (check)
- Global retaliation? (check)
- Rising prices? Slower economic growth? (coming)
- A failure to produce a burst or manufacturing jobs or business investment? (very likely)
- Continued trade deficits with some nations? (guaranteed)
- Any remaining imports? (guaranteed)
- No notable budget savings? (very likely)

If there is no measurable metric of success or failure, then the tariffs are not economic policy - they are an economic suicide pact in service of some philosophical aversion to trading with and being interdependent with foreigners. And we're all just the collateral damage.

@SenJonHusted Hey @SenJonHusted I’m a lifelong Ohio resident and if you really want to bring accountability and responsibility to Washington the most important thing you can do is to rein in executive power, particularly with tariffs. @NewReaganCaucus

@JohnDalyBooks The most important election of our lifetimes.

[Susan Williams @SusanWi08034252]

@Brian_Riedl Does this include foreign aid?

[Susan Williams @SusanWi08034252]

@ackocher Thank you for this.

@JonahDispatch @thedispatch Tom Joscelyn’s reporting at the Dispatch got me interested in Afghanistan a number of years ago. Please consider @jason_c_howk as a podcast guest. We’re not hearing much in the media anymore about this important issue.

[SaveAfghanHeros @HerosSaveAfgans]

Great points @jason_c_howk as always. Afghan Patriots exist but need support organizing. This starts with getting allies like the Afghan SOF legal status so they can travel and organize.

@scottlincicome I’m certain that Mike Tyson would never even attempt to eat yogurt that expired 4 months ago though.

[Susan Williams @SusanWi08034252]

@jason_c_howk Always appreciate @whignewtons perspective. This is an important conversation indeed.
