President Trump has banned more Canadian imports in his escalating trade war with the U.S.'s northern neighbor. Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) joins Peter Alexander to discuss, as she and fellow Democrats head to Texas to counter President Trump's GOP midterm convention in Dallas.
Rep. Madeleine Dean joins MS NOW’s Jonathan Capehart to discuss Donald Trump’s “reckless” war in Iran as Trump acts in a very “irrational and erratic” way. She also criticized comments by Trump and Vance not calling it a war: “How childlike to not admit to the gravity of where we are by the president’s own choice.”
'It's so distressing all of the stories'
Even Democrats who have called to impeach President Trump acknowledge there is little chance of it happening unless they retake control of at least one chamber of Congress. Why it matters: Democratic lawmakers are stuck. They know impeachment won't succeed, but their base keeps demanding they up the ante with drastic acts of anti-Trump resistance. - "People are pissed and know we have to fight," one senior House Democrat told Axios. - But Republicans control Congress, and the Senate requires a two-thirds majority to convict a president impeached by the House. - That has led lawmakers to pay lip service to moves like impeachment and the 25th Amendment in response to the latest Trump outrage, and then focus their attention on more…
House Republicans thwarted an attempt by Democrats to pass a war powers resolution on Thursday that would block President Trump unilaterally restarting hostilities with Iran. Why it matters: The vote would have been largely symbolic — the measure faces an uphill battle in the Senate and could be vetoed by Trump – but Democrats are desperate to show voters they are using every tool at their disposal to end the war. - Democrats are expected to force a vote on the measure when the House returns to session this week. - "War powers is a privileged resolution, we plan on calling the privilege next week when we're back," Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) told reporters. Driving the news: Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) attended Thursday's pro forma…

Roughly half of House and Senate Democrats skipped President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday, an Axios headcount found. Why it matters: The massive boycott represents a shift in American political norms as the party's grassroots have pressed lawmakers to be more partisan and less conciliatory towards Republicans. - Several members of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' (D-N.Y.) senior leadership team were among the lawmakers who boycotted the speech, most notably Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.). - "Rather than listen to Donald Trump lie to the American people, I will be hearing from the people of my district," Clark said in a statement ahead of the speech. By the numbers: Axios counted 20 Senate Democrats and…
