Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Mahmoud Khalil hearing THREAD:

Judge Furman opened the brief hearing by acknowledging "some heated opinions" on the case and reminded the courtroom to keep decorum.

He then chided parties for filing their joint letter nearly two hours after the 5pm deadline yesterday (1/8)

Correct but I think the overall effect was one of not understanding the value of representing both sides of important public issues.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge
