President Trump un-endorses a freshman GOP lawmaker from Colorado who had the temerity to vote against the tariffs on imports from Canada.

Vice President JD dramatically ramps up the attack on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision striking down many of President Trump's tariffs, calling it, 'lawlessness from the Court, plain and simple'

Where does the authority come from for this new 10 percent global tariff? Trump is tapping Section 122 authority from the Trade Act of 1974, which allows him to use tariffs 'for a period not exceeding 150 days.'

President Trump quickly authorizes a 10 percent worldwide tariff to replace the tariffs struck down today by the U.S. Supreme Court. "Today, I will sign in order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged."

President Trump says the Supreme Court tariff decision was 'deeply disappointing.' "I'm ashamed of certain members of the Court - absolutely ashamed - for not having the courage to do what's right for our country."

Rep. Tom Suozzi D-NY on the Supreme Court tariff ruling against President Trump: "It is a clear message that the President cannot act unilaterally and must negotiate and try and find common ground with the co-equal branch of government: the Congress."

New on the Department of Justice

Note bullet point 3 from Trump - he is still calling for an end to almost all voting by mail, with only limited absentee and military ballots. That is not a part of the SAVE America Act, but it is in the 'Make Elections Great Again' bill (MEGA)

Right before a primary is not the time for stories about an affair with a staffer who died after setting herself on fire last year. But that's where things are for Rep. Tony Gonzales R-TX. Much more in today's 'Regular Order.' jamiedupree.substack.com/p/scandal-hi...

Only Congress has the power to mandate Voter ID for all federal elections. Only Congress has the power to ban mail-in voting for all federal elections. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries blames GOP for a DHS shutdown by sending lawmakers home for a 10-day break instead of staying on Capitol Hill. "ICE needs to be dramatically reformed."

Congress is ready to leave town today until February 23. Evidently, there will be a partial shutdown at DHS (since ICE is funded) for that entire recess. State of the Union is scheduled for Feb. 24.

Congress moving closer to a shutdown for the Department of Homeland Security. Senate Democrats have filibustered a DHS funding bill - it needed 60 votes. Funding runs out Friday night.

Republicans have this 'Myth vs Fact' list on the SAVE America Act. The funny part about the first and last item is their own GOP bill required voters to show a U.S. passport or ID + citizenship at the polls - but that was taken out LAST WEEKEND. That was the original GOP plan!

Even Red states are telling the Trump Administration that they will not turn over their voter registration lists. The latest GOP-led state to object is West Virginia. sos.wv.gov/news/Pages/0...

I'm still trying to figure out why this provision is in the SAVE America Act passed by the House

The House passes the GOP's revised SAVE America Act, which requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote - plus photo ID at the polls. The bill faces a very difficult path forward in the Senate. Rep. Henry Cuellar D-TX was the only 'Yes' vote from Democrats.

Why did only 6 House Republicans vote against Trump's tariffs on imports from Canada? This post makes it very explicit, as Trump vows that those GOP lawmakers who oppose his tariffs 'will seriously suffer the consequences.'

The House votes to repeal some of President Trump's tariffs levied on imports from Canada. 210 Republicans voted in favor of the tariffs. It's the first time House GOP lawmakers have gone on the record about the Trump tariffs.

What's been changed in this new GOP bill? ✅You must prove citizenship to register to vote ✅Photo ID at the polls (but no citizenship docs) ✅Mail-in ballots must have a copy of your photo ID ✅Voter ID will take effect immediately, not in 2027

The House is now debating the revised SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, and photo ID at the polls. Final vote expected this evening.

House refuses to approve a new tariff Gag Rule, voting against a plan to prevent votes on Trump tariffs through the end of July. 3 GOP 'No' votes were Kiley CA, Bacon NE, and Massie KY. Tariff votes expected now on Wednesday from Democrats.

House GOP leaders now have 7 hours for arm-twisting to try to pass a Gag Rule which blocks any votes on President Trump's tariffs.

Wow. Instead of a 1:30 pm rule vote - House GOP leaders have pushed that to 8:30 pm tonight. They don't have the votes right now for a Gag Rule to stop any House votes on President Trump's tariffs.

Republicans could be moving to make the Voter ID section of the SAVE Act apply immediately. The bill currently delays Voter ID until after the 2026 elections. But a 'Manager's Amendment' filed by Rep. Brian Steil R-WI changes the effective date.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski R-AK opposes the SAVE Act from the GOP, calls it 'federal overreach' on election administration

House GOP leaders are trying again to block any votes on Trump's tariffs through the end of July. This is tucked into a rule vote on Tuesday.

Still waiting for any comment from GOP lawmakers and US cattle groups about Trump allowing big increase in beef imports from Argentina. So far, it's only Democrats saying anything

How would the revised SAVE America Act impact the midterms? The requirement to prove citizenship for voter registration takes effect immediately. But the requirement for Voter ID at the polls doesn't happen until after the 2026 elections.

🚨House Republicans have made substantial changes to the revised SAVE America Act, dropping provisions which would have forced Americans to prove their citizenship at the polls on Election Day. 🧵 1/

Rep. Mark Amodei R-NV will not run for reelection. That makes 51 House members who won't be back after the November elections. So far it's 30R, 21D.

I've read through the GOP's new 'SAVE America Act' which will be voted on next week in the House. It requires both proof of citizenship to register to vote - AND - proof of citizenship to vote. Nerdy thread 1/

Rep. Andy Barr R-KY dumps on his colleague Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY and endorses Massie's primary challenger Ed Gallrein. Barr hints that Massie is siding with AOC by opposing President Trump. It comes a few hours after Trump called Masie a 'moron.'

The vibe check at the U.S. Capitol is not positive when it comes to talks on ICE. There seems to be very little middle ground on calls from Democrats to rein in immigration raids after agents killed two people in Minneapolis. More in my column for the AJC www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The 2026 primaries haven't started yet and already 50 House members won't be back after the November elections. (Total House turnover was 60 in 2024.)

Democrats have detailed their demands for immigration enforcement guardrails

The U.S. Supreme Court refuses to block the new Congressional map approved by voters in California - which could give Democrats as many as 5 more U.S. House seats in the November elections

The House narrowly votes to approve a Senate-passed package of 5 government funding bills + DHS funding (through Feb 13). Trump's signature will end the 4-day partial shutdown. If not for the 21 Dems voting Yes, this bill would have lost.

This time, a government shutdown did not stop the swearing in of a new member. Rep. Christian Menefee D-TX makes the House 218R-214D

This was one of the demands of Democrats in Congress

Trump does *not* want the SAVE Act attached to a package of government funding bills. "There can be NO CHANGES at this time," Trump wrote.

This just into the newsroom

Schumer says if House Republicans add the SAVE Act to the minibus funding package, that will guarantee an extended shutdown

Christian Menefee (D) wins a US House seat from Texas. This seat has been vacant since March 5, 2025. His win makes the House 218R to 214D.

Yes, there is a partial government shutdown, but hopefully it will be over on Monday. Much more in today's Regular Order from Capitol Hill jamiedupree.substack.com/p/senate-str...
