I am kind of too scared to ask here, but what did it actually achieve?

The next day 4 GOP Senators sided with DEMs against T. They voted and passed denying “emergency” for tariffs against Canada. Now it goes to House, and they blocked it in a super weird way, but — It is a chip in the wall…

I love the idea that it changed the minds Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, but we all know their votes were virtue signals for the bourbon state.

Murkowski and Collins are morons but may occasionally have brief flairs of sanity, so I'll give you them :D

McConnell and Paul also see the writing on the wall. When the cost of living skyrockets, if democracy somehow survives, the Republicans are right fucked.
