I should note the Feb 1, 2025 date at the end I suppose limits it to these 3 national emergencies that Trump declared that day, basically imposing duties (aka import tax) on Mexico, China, and maybe Canada I haven't checked yet. This somewhat limits his power to those listed in the national emergency details, I think.

If the senators do not pass the spending bill, what happens to the original one from the representatives? Do that have to draft a new one? (That may or may not include the tariff language?)
I think others understand these sort of procedural things way better than me.
Then again Congress is explicitly just giving up their power to the executive, so who knows.

Chuck Schumer now says he will vote to keep the government funded precisely because he fears a government shutdown will cede even more power to Trump.

This is really wild. Republicans in 2025 stand for isolationism, autarky, unions and large deficits. Imagine floating that at the end of the Obama years.
They have a consistent stance on gender though, I guess.

Chuck got his ass handed to him. Gillebrand could literally be heard screaming down the hallway, as the Dems were in their closed door meeting, wanting to know what the hell they were doing.
