GOP Senators Throw Tariffs, Beef & Ukraine Shade at Trump
In a week that perfectly summarized 'ribbing your boss' school of politics, GOP senators Murkowski, Collins, Paul, McConnell, and Tillis teamed up with Democrats not once, not twice, but thrice to repeal Trump's global tariff tantrums on Brazil, Canada, and beyond. Meanwhile, Senators Roger Wicker and Mike Rogers loudly disapproved Trumpâs troop shuffle out of Romania, fearing it sends the wrong 'Russia vibes,' and McConnell chimed in complaining China and Russia are 'plotting,' arguably in a never-ending geopolitical soap opera. Lindsey Graham and Mike Rounds grumbled about Democrats being left out of a drug smuggling briefingâas if sensitive military info was a secret handshake party. And the pièce de rĂŠsistance? Vice President Vance's 2025 closed-door beef fest where ranch-state senators dressed him down for importing Argentine steak, so much that he joked if anyone wanted to discuss something else besides minced meaty woes. Welcome to the Republican Party, where unity is a mystery meat and Vance might consider a podcast titled 'Beef Anonymous.'

Nothing screams party unity like senators teaming up against Trump tariffs, a beefed-up cattle roast lunch, and secret briefings where Democrats are ghosted harder than a bad Tinder date.
Watching GOP senators simultaneously crown themselves champions of bipartisan tariff repeal while complaining about Argentine beef imports is like watching a reality show where the prize is more confusion and less consistency.
Ah, the modern GOP: part corporate tariff repealers, part cattle rancher lobby club, and part 'letâs exclude Democrats from briefings and call it teamwork.' Riveting stuff.
