Part of me wishes not knowing everyone's thoughts that social media allows. The other part is learning uncomfortable truths about our fellow human beings.

In tariff case, Supreme Court justices bicker over treating Trump and Biden differently Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, was unusually direct in suggesting some of his colleagues were treating presidents of opposing parties differently.

Happy he's calling it out.

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

The Trump administration has begun sending funding for theΒ Gateway Program’sΒ Hudson Tunnel project.

We're going to protect this project and the good-paying union jobs that come with it.

But even more terrifying is that most of the party is like this as is the pundit class they listen to. Weirdly disconnected from the seriousness of the moment; unable to imagine any other way of leading than what they’ve done for decades. 4/

Thoughts on the Delayed SCOTUS Ruling on Trump’s Tariffs The Supreme Court’s delay on Trump’s tariffs may reflect efforts to guide lower courts ahead of inevitable new tariff lawsuits.

Why is it taking so long for Supreme Court to rule if the tariffs are legal? Are they going to keep pushing it into the future.

For other politicians, sharing something so racist would be treated as a career ending scandal even if they quickly apologized and claimed to have not watched the video before sharing. Trump hasn't done that, the Times invents out of whole cloth the idea that he might have made an innocent mistake

In regards to Trump messing with the Gateway Tunnel Project, NY State NYC, NJ should consider that it’s time for some traffic problems around Trump properties and some surprise building safety & health inspections. Check the permit for his clock on 5th Ave.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

CIVIL CASE NO. SA-26-CV-415-FB Β§ OPINION AND ORDER OF THE COURT

Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The
Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this
administration's detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R. The Great Writ
and release from detention are GRANTED pursuant to the attached Judgment.
Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled
power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And
the rule of law be damned.

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
