Trans bathrooms on Capitol Hill are banned because Republican legislators don’t want to be distracted from the important task of making everyone safer by enabling a statutory rapist and sex trafficker to become the number one law enforcement official in the country.

Tariffs
In 1930, Congress was under republican control and passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. Herbert Hoover signed it into law with the goal of protecting US industry by imposing high tariffs. Instead, it sparked trade wars and made the Great Depression even worse.
Republican economic policy is garbage.
