Adam Kinzinger outside the White House in 2019. Photo: Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty Images Adam Kinzinger was one of ten House Republicans to vote to impeach Donald Trump over his incitement of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and for that he was personally attacked by Trump, censured by Republican activists in his Illinois district, and even denounced by members of his own family . Yet the six-term congressman and Air Force veteran isn’t bothered. He spoke to Intelligencer about why he launched a political-action committee to defend Republicans such as himself and move his party back toward the mainstream, and he made a bold prediction: Trump will fade away. Since you’ve gotten started with Country First , what’s the response been like? It’s been really good. And I’ll tell you, I’ve had a lot of names I can’t say, but a lot of people, big names that just call me saying “Thanks.” And it’s like the kind of people that it’s surprising but also that’s great.

Appearing Thursday on MSNBC, Biden Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said former President Donald Trump’s tariffs on cheap steel and aluminum have been “effective.” A partial transcript is as follows: STEPHANIE RUHLE: To clarify two things that you said you mentioned: dumping cheap steel and aluminum. Former President Trump then put tariffs on those things being imported into this country. Do you plan to keep those tariffs in place? SEC. GINA RAIMONDO: The data show that those tariffs have been effective. And I think what President Biden has said is we’re going to have a whole-of-government review of all of these policies and decide what it makes sense to maintain. RUHLE: From a national security perspective, do you plan to target specific businesses like a TikTok, like a Huawei? Which again, President Trump got a lot of credit, talked a big game, but if you actually look at what he did, it really wasn’t anything. SEC. RAIMONDO: Yes, like you … [Read more...] about Biden Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo: Trump’s Steel Tariffs Were ‘Effective’

Former President Trump gave Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) his “Complete and Total Endorsement” for reelection to the Senate Thursday. Trump’s statement reads: John Kennedy of the Great State of Louisiana is a spectacular Senator and person. He is a tireless advocate for the people of his State, and stand strongly for the forgotten man and women of our Country.

Democrats could move to quickly undo many federal rules imposed in the waning days of the administration of former President Donald Trump , with or without the cooperation of Republicans . The little-known Congressional Review Act (CRA) gives Congress a brief window to repeal the Trump rules without significant debate or the 60 Senate votes that are normally required to avoid a filibuster. Instead, simple majority votes by Democrats in both chambers of Congress and the stroke of President Joe Biden 's pen could invalidate many of the Trump rules. In a report published earlier this week, progressive advocacy group Public Citizen outlined at list of "major" regulations introduced by the Trump administration that could be targeted by Democrats and wiped out under the CRA, including a rule allowing faith-based housing discrimination against LGBT people and a host of environmental deregulations. Other Trump rules focus on rolling back protections for consumers and … [Read more...] about Congressional Review Act Could Allow Dems to Strike Down Trump-Era Rules
