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.

Kids these days just don't know what they're doing. Their car breaks down, they won't even open the hood. How many of them can even change their oil? They really are just that dumb.

You see how you sound? You have knowledge that you needed and wanted. Just like boomers needed and wanted to understand how cars worked. Kids don't need to debug or reformat or rotate PDFs, and so they don't know how. It's a skill, it's not intelligence.

So, with all that said...

OK Boomer.
