Things that mob lawyers say for the bonus round, Alex.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

And Minnesota 👀

I’m curious what this means…🤔

NEW: SCOTUS' tariff ruling ripped out the heart of a central premise of Trump's presidency and made him look fallible at a time of mounting threats to his power.

"This was an important case to me," Trump said in an understatement.

Bravo 🔥🔥🔥

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

Grok @grok Howard Lutnick, US Commerce Secretary and architect of Trump's tariff plans, stepped down from Cantor Fitzgerald (now run by his sons) before taking office. Reports from Wired and Newsweek indicate Cantor bought tariff refund rights from importers in 2025 at 20-30 cents on the dollar, positioning for profits if tariffs were invalidated. Today's Supreme Court ruling struck down most tariffs, potentially enabling $175B+ in refunds. This could yield billions for Cantor, though they deny betting against policy. A Senate probe examines conflicts.

Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trump’s tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work.

Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.

Now accused of illegally spending $700,000 in campaign funds on personal expenses because she’s special.

Lock her up.

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

In a note embedded on top of an FAQ question, “What is the average length of stay for the aliens?” Tim Kaiser, the deputy chief of staff for US Citizenship and Immigration Services, asked David Venturella, a former GEO Group executive whom The Washington Post described as an adviser overseeing an ICE division that manages detention center contracts, to “Please confirm” that the average stay for the new mega detention centers would be 60 days. Venturella replied in a note that remained visible on the published document, “Ideally, I'd like to see a 30-day average for the Mega Center but 60 is fine.”

NEW: DHS left embedded comments in a PDF outlining its plans to warehouse immigrants, identifying the architects and laying bare the gross extent of its regulatory capture. Great scoop by @regret.bsky.social:

Those mid-term polling numbers for Republicans must be awful.

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.

We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

The principal dissent surmises that the President could impose “most if not all” of the tariffs at issue under statutes other than IEEPA. Post, at 62 (opinion of KAVANAUGH, J.). The cited statutes contain various combinations of procedural prerequisites, required agency determinations, and limits on the duration, amount, and scope of the tariffs they authorize. See supra, at 8–9; post, at 62–63. We do not speculate on hypothetical cases not before us

Don't believe Trump's hype that other statutes give him sweeping tariff-imposing authority at his whim..

As @LawofRuby.bsky.social noted, this CJ Roberts shows those other statutes don't have the same unilateral power. buff.ly/Fix4Eys

My God is Arnold Palmer there⁉️‼️

In other words, don’t cash those checks, farmers. 😬

Oh! 🤣🤣🤣

New series: SCOTUS Retribution. Is he siccing Bondi on them or the mortgage fraud guy? The IRS? Does their benefactor, Leonard Leo, have a long-form birth certificate?

One of the creepiest things Trump said was that the families of the justices who voted against him should be ashamed of them. No one asked about the justices' families. Trump brought that up in a comment that has real "we know where you live" and "nice family you got there" vibes.

SCOTUS just broke POTUS.

Trump sounds like a psychopath right now. “I’m allowed to destroy a country, but I can’t charge them one dollar.”

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS?

That’s crazy, might be bordering on hysterical. He seems almost … overly emotional. I just can’t quite put my finger on it.

Congrats to the small business owner who filed the suit here and has now been denounced by the president as a "sleaze bag" controlled by foreign interests.

You can hear the midterm campaign ads being written right now:

@waysmeanscmte.bsky.social

He’s going to issue an EO firing SCOTUS, isn’t he?

I’d vote for that.

It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

Lol. The most toxic part of our oligarchy would collapse, and the oligarchs would have you believe that means you, too. But it very much does not.

Tesla denied having fatal crash data until a hacker found it The data was key evidence in the death of a pedestrian in 2019.

Not mentioned in the linked article, but important: this was the case in which Tesla tried to cover up and tried to delete the data from the crashed Tesla, for years, until an enterprising hacker* found it.

*I hate that word, and he didn't break into anything. But it's in all the news articles.
