Summary

Ted Cruz warned that Trump’s tariffs could trigger a GOP “bloodbath” in the 2026 midterms, citing inflation and market fallout as major risks.

On his Verdict podcast, Cruz criticized tariffs as taxes on consumers and urged they be short-lived.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 plunged nearly 10% over two days. Senator Rand Paul and others echoed concerns, with Paul warning tariffs could add $5,000–$15,000 to car prices.

Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced a bill requiring congressional approval of tariffs within 60 days or automatic expiration.

    How?

    Nobody on the left is really working to spread any messages. A few comments per person isn’t doing shit. Seems like the most that can be mustered is a little property damage. Any voice that stands up to help spread ideology gets targeted by the right and knee capped. The mind blowing thing is the right actively hide online among the left convincing them to knee cap these people. I just saw a post a few weeks ago shitting on Jon Stewart here.

    How exactly are they going to lose against a neutered and apathetic opposition
