      Bob Corker told me he's begun discussions with staff on legislation to push back on Trump tariffs, says Trump is “abusing the authorities given to him” and is "interfering inappropriately” in markets. “We seem to want to punish our allies and befriend our enemies,” he told me.

      Split emerging in GOP: Cornyn, who has raised concerns about the tariffs, throws cold water on doing anything legislatively to rein in Trump on tariffs on Mexico, Canada and the EU. "I think we're going to keep talking .... I think that's primarily an Executive Branch function."

          What a hoot! Imagine what Sen. Cornyn would be saying if a Dem were president. He'd be frothing about balance of powers.

          Unbelievable. The Republicans in Congress are deathly afraid of Trump & Putin. We MUST KNOW WHAT Republicans’ EMAILS WERE HACKED. They’re literally being held hostage by a hostile Foreign State. Our Allies look at America in shock over what the Repub Party has allowed 2happen.

          This is one of the problems that got us into this mess. Over the years, Congress has ceded more and more authority to the Executive Branch, and Presidents have been glad to wield it. Time to take it back, or just start calling yourself the Reichstag and be done with it.

          Yeah but it's not an Executive Branch function. The exec. only has that power in cases of national security threats. Canada and Mexico are not national security threats ffs. Either Cornyn is a moron or he thinks we all are to believe him.

          No split. Just some talk from a member who is leaving. Nothing matters.

          @JohnCornyn is a proponent of dividing us from our allies. He is making it clear what he will do AGAINST our country/democracy. Tariffs and trade wars will not go well and that is what @JohnCornyn wants.

          Translation: Cornyn staying; Corker leaving. There’s been no movement.

          We see who they are. He's been abusing the office and his power from day 1. Is this a split or just theater ahead of the midterms? Watch the seats up for re-election. They'll play to whatever way the wind is blowing.
