President Donald Trump has a new fix to the affordability crisis - giving some of the tariffs you paid back to you. "People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday. "A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone." Trump's social media posts are not actual orders for the government to take any action, but the idea is already drawing attention.

A Senate war powers resolution blocking future military activities in Venezuela without congressional approval failed by a vote of 51-49 Thursday evening. Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AL) joined Democrats in voting for the resolution, which was introduced by Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA). Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the resolution would be unconstitutional because it "takes away the ability to decide military matters [from the president] and it resides with us."
