AXIOS (Josephine Walker) - Trump revives dormant Smoot-Hawley authority

President Trump is invoking an unused provision of the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act to impose additional tariffs on Canada over alleged discrimination against U.S. exports. Why it matters: As the Supreme Court limits Trump's ability to wield tariffs and a temporary tariff stopgap expires, the president is turning to a rarely used tariff authority. - While the Smoot-Hawley Act is often blamed for worsening the Great Depression, this provision went unused — until now. Driving the news: Trump on Monday announced an additional 50% tariff on select Canadian imports that would take effect in August under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, better known as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act after its congressional sponsors. - The…

AXIOS (Avery Lotz) - N.J. removes noncitizens from voter rolls after finding software glitch

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) ordered the removal of self-identified noncitizens erroneously added to voter rolls after a software error led to some 6,600 people being incorrectly registered. The big picture: Fewer than 400 people who were registered because of the error actually voted, but the incident could fuel the President Trump's unsupported claims of mass voter fraud that critics say threaten to undermine trust in elections. - Sherrill said there was no evidence at this time that any elections were swayed by the incident. Driving the news: The error — which occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, before Sherrill was sworn in — led to the voter registration of people applying for driver's licenses and ID cards, even…

AXIOS (Hans Nichols) - Scoop: Progressives scorch Gillibrand over crypto

Progressive groups are opening a vicious new front in the fight over crypto legislation , targeting Sen Kirsten Gillibrand as she tries to broker a compromise on the CLARITY Act, which has unresolved issues on its ethics provisions. Why it matters: The blistering — and deeply personal — attack from Indivisible, Demand Progress and the Revolving Door Project complicates already delicate negotiations. - It's also a warning shot to Democrats: Progressive groups are prepared to make support for the bill politically painful, even if it means another bruising intraparty fight over one of the crypto industry's top legislative priorities. - "Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), is a prime…

AXIOS (Stef W. Kight) - Senate rabble-rousers are gaining power

Hardline conservatives are gaining power in the Senate atop key committees. Why it matters: The senators known for rankling GOP leadership now have gavels that let them hold hearings, advance legislation and even issue subpoenas. Driving the news: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) will be the new chair of the Budget Committee, Senate Republicans agreed in their closed-door lunch Tuesday. - The committee, which has a key role in reconciliation, had been chaired by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) - Johnson also chairs the Homeland Security subcommittee on investigations, allowing him to launch probes into everything from former President Biden's health to Meta's alleged cooperation with China. What to watch: Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is next…
