Vice President JD Vance traveled to Capitol Hill late Wednesday to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate that killed a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s trade policy.

Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked Trump’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order the president is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49.

I looked through their comments because I was curious if they're actually a piece of shit, or if they're just having a bad take or a bad day. No, that's actually what they believe. They have some fascinating opinions on how zoomers and gen alpha are effectively inferior to millennials.
