What Trump’s tax policies mean for the national debt Tax breaks and extensions will add trillions to the national debt, which currently stands at $38 trillion.

The Supreme Court ruling has helped the family of one man in particular: the architect of Trump’s tariffs himself.

A firm headed by Lutnick’s sons was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event tariffs were struck down. trib.al/JcwQ9MT

Following Project 2025, the president and his congressional allies cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid, shuttered several core agencies, including the Department of Education, USAID, and Voice of America, and hollowed out the EPA.

The economy has felt the impact in kind. trib.al/gmamJgS

The Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, which we've been paying for about a year now. This is good news for the American people - and it's the latest proof that this president, no matter what he says, can be stopped.

Excerpt: Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren, said that no decision can β€œundo the massive damage that the Trump tariffs have done to small businesses, to American supply chains, and especially to American families forced to pay higher prices on everything from groceries to housing”.

This is right: I think you will rein in Trump's bullshit best by destroying the unlawful businesses that the sons sold the Presidency on.

In theory, we know this is true. But "struck down" doesn't quite capture it. These tariffs were obviously and transparently illegal. They were knowingly illegal. It is a stain on the Court that something so obviously illegal was allowed to stand for a year. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/scotus-...

A bunch of Trump insiders, including the Lutnick family, just made hundred of millions of dollars on this strike down.

One of the most striking aspects of the Tariffs argument, IMO, was when Gorsuch pointed out that Congress can't just hand away its powers, AND HE USED POWER TO DECLARE WAR.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Relatedly, days before DHS released the files that revealed DHS was behind this killing, Todd Lyons boasted that ICE had opened a whopping 37 use of force investigations, when the number of incidents must be well over 400.

Trump should have to testify too. Read this & act: It’s time to stop protecting rich and powerful men who rape children and others who made that possible, whoever they are. Later this month, Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify on Capitol Hill. joycevance.substack.com/p/arresting-...

Pete Buttigieg campaigns for Chris Pappas in New Hampshire Buttigieg made the rounds Thursday at the Puritan Backroom in support of the U.S. Senate campaign of U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas.

Great to be on the trail with my friend @chrispappasnh.bsky.social today.

As New Hampshire’s next Senator, he will relentlessly focus on making life more affordable, and stand up to end the chaos and corruption of this moment.

Arresting a former prince sends a message. And if a former president can testify on Capitol Hill, there’s no reason the current one can’t tooβ€”unless this is all about protecting Donald Trump. Insist that your representatives in Congress make that happen. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
