5 GOP Senators Side with Dems in Rejecting Trump Emergency-Powers Trade Fight with Brazil 10/29/25
Update: 2025-10-29
Description
With the constitutionality of Trump imposing tariffs without the backing of Congress headed to the Supreme Court, legislators finally seem to be taking the matter back into their own hands. Five Senate Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the president’s use of emergency powers to impose 50% tariffs on Brazil. Republican Senators Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski joined Democrats in giving Senate approval but the House will not consider the matter until early next year.
We’ll talk about it with our political analyst and presidential historian John Rothmann.
Dr. Jennifer Conrad stops by to talk about the challenges she faced working to ban cat declawing in California.
It’s been a pretty big week for the environment. The world missed a major greenhouse gas emission target. Our Eco-journalist, Belinda Waymouth, will explain.
