A firm headed by Lutnickβs 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

The Supreme Court has struck down Trumpβs 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.

Trump illegally used executive power to impose global tariffs, supreme court rules.

A California federal judge hit the Trump administration with a scathing order to notify thousands of detained immigrants nationwide that they can join a lawsuit demanding either a hearing or immediate release.

As New Hampshireβs next Senator, he will relentlessly focus on making life more affordable, and stand up to end the chaos and corruption of this moment.
Wondering if any republicans in Congress who flipped out when Clinton and Lynch ran into each other, or wouldnβt shut up about Jack Smith βconspiringβ with Biden, would have anything to say about this shit.
