Democrats demand Senate hearing on Trump's tariffs

"The president's tariffs also raise concerns about whether he will repeat mistakes from his first term in handing out exceptions to well-connected friends or companies at the expense of everyone else," they wrote. 

A study by researchers from the State University of New York at Buffalo, Fordham University, University of Oklahoma and Lehigh University published in The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis found that companies that made political contributions and investments to help Republicans before and during Trump's first term were more likely to win tariff exemptions...

Opinion | Democrats are turning the tables on MAGA inquisitors - The Washington Post

Democrats came to these hearings prepared and focused. They not only eviscerated GOP conspiracy theories but also did a bang-up job exposing Republicans as the ones who have "weaponized" the government. 

Perhaps this was inevitable. MAGA conspiracy theories only work in the hermetically sealed universe of right-wing media, where no assumptions are challenged, no hard questions are posed and no complete explanation of a supposed scandal is required.

Opinion | The House GOP’s sham hearings are fizzling before they even begin - The Washington Post

Fourth, there are rakes aplenty for Republicans to step on. Each time a Republican screams that the government has been "weaponized," Democrats should be prepared to go through the litany of real GOP abuses and outrages while in power: the failure to audit Trump's taxes, the Justice Department's pointless John Durham investigations, GOP governors transporting of unwary asylum seekers out of state and the abusive arrests of African American voters in Florida, to name a few. Simply because these issues are not the majority's designated topics does not prevent Democrats from talking about them in hearings...

Opinion | The Jackson Hearings Were an Opportunity for the GOP. They Didn’t Take It. - POLITICO

…This is dangerous character assassination. In particular, the child-predator-enabler mythology has been thoroughly debunked, including in the conservative National Review. Most telling, Republicans have voted to confirm conservative judicial nominees that engaged in the same widespread judicial practice of departing downward from child pornography sentencing guidelines that Jackson was excoriated for…

Beyond Roe: With SCOTUS Hearings, GOP Sketches Terrifying Vision For America | HuffPost Latest News

…This week alone, Republicans have advocated for a country where interracial marriage, same-sex marriage, contraception access and abortion could very well be denied, depending on the state someone lives in. In other words, the federal government would not recognize a marriage between a Black woman and a white man, and they would be denied all accompanying benefits…
