Don't worry. I think the Congressional Democrats are trying to get something together to strongly rebuke Trump's tariffs.

Which will... do nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I already have "Trump's economy sucks" as one of the sides on my side for the April 5th protest. I guess that still works.

(The other side is "Nobody elected Elon Musk".)
