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.

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.

Gonna keep on saying this:
At this point, any #Democrats who brag about their #Bipartisan working 'across the aisle' are #Collaborateurs making peace with #Fascism

"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.

Why #Fascist #Florida #Governor #RonDeSantis #dodged #VicePresident #KamalaHarris’ calls about #hurricane #relief.

There used to be a #tradition of #bipartisan #cooperation after a #naturaldisaster.

#Immigration & #border #security has been a [favorite issue of Republicans] leading up to the Nov election; [going so far as to block strong new #bipartisan #Immigration #law just to keep it an unsolved issue to campaign on]. #Republicans have singled out #Springfield, which has seen an influx of #Haitian #immigrants in recent years after a boom in #manufacturing jobs attracted new residents.

"the weakening of a free & independent #press matters... The flow of trustworthy news and information is critical to a free, secure and prosperous nation. This is why defense of the #FreePress has been a point of rare #bipartisan consensus throughout the nation’s #history...

That consensus has broken. A new model is being crafted that aims to undermine the ability of #journalists to freely gather and report the #news. It’s worth getting to know what this model looks like in action."

“Those People Should Just #Die”: #Trump’s #Nephew on How the Ex-President Sees #Disabled #Americans

Donald Trump’s #nephew, very much hopes for a #bipartisan #national #effort to better #support the #needs of #disabled #people, a #passion driven by being the #father of a #disabled #son.

— If you have any doubts that this bill is #antiLGBTQ, let me show you what one of the original sponsors has directly said on the matter.

#Lawmaker Claims the “#KidsOnlineSafetyAct” Aims to #Protect #Kids from “The #Transgender”. While #KOSA has #bipartisan #support, #LGBTQ+ #advocates argue it would be #harmful.

#JoeBiden said on Wednesday he signed into law legislation that rushes $95bn in foreign aid to #Ukraine, #Israel and #Taiwan, a #bipartisan legislative victory he hailed as a “good day for world peace” after months of congressional gridlock threatened Washington’s support for Kyiv in its fight to repel #Russia’s invasion

In a #bipartisan vote, 210 #Democrats and 101 #Republicans joined to support Ukraine, with 112 Republicans – a majority of the #GOP members – voting against. The House erupted into applause when the #Ukraine bill passed, with the chair, #MarcMolinaro of New York, admonishing members not to wave Ukrainian flags.
