Our work in Congress does not stop here. We must prevent President Trump from abusing any tariff authority

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Dean’s latest official statement located frames the anti-abuse tariff commitment as ongoing after her vote for the Russia and Iran sanctions bill, so it shows effort but not completion.

The verified commitment is to prevent presidential abuse of tariff authority. The only verified evidence here documents Dean stating that Congress must prevent such abuse, but it does not verify enactment of any restriction or achieved prevention. The separate Supreme Court passage is unverified and cannot be used. With no documented deadline expired and no verified delivered outcome attributable to Dean, the promise remains unresolved; the verified statement supports an effort badge only.
