- Republican lawmakers are privately fretting about Donald Trump's tariffs, worrying they're worsening the economy, with Politico reporting that "some Republicans remain anxious about a tariff policy that has injected uncertainty into a shaky economy," according to a source.
- Six Republicans voted against a measure to block anti-tariff votes, with GOP strategist Doug Heye stating that more Republicans haven't broken with Trump due to fear of primary challenges, saying "he threatened them" - a tactic that's "always it."
- The House has passed a bill to rescind Trump's tariffs on Canada, which has been sent to the Senate, with a White House source expressing concern over the "not great messaging" of the vote, while another insider described Trump's reaction as "angry and unhappy," but predicted other politicians will act in their self-interest.
JUSTICE MATTERS
AlterNet and PBS NewsHour cover different stories, but AlterNet's coverage of Trump's tariffs is distinct from PBS NewsHour's report on greenhouse emissions. AlterNet quotes sources stating that Trump's tariffs are "applying direct pain" on certain constituencies, while PBS NewsHour reports on the EPA's repeal of its "endangerment finding" without directly quoting critics or highlighting the human impact. This framing difference obscures the potential economic and environmental consequences of Trump's policies, with AlterNet centering the voices of anxious Republican lawmakers and PBS NewsHour focusing on the regulatory shift without emphasizing the potential harm to the public.
