Happy midterms, GOP.

"I'm allowed to destroy the country but I'm not allowed to charge $1," Trump explains (accurately).

Drivel, nothing but regurgitated drivel.

Trump says he'll use "alternatives" to replace the tariffs the Court struck down

Trump Calls Himself a ‘Schmuck’ for Donating His Presidential Salary

Trump reported making $1.6 BILLION during his first term by shamelessly monetizing the presidency at every turn.

His net worth jumped by $3 BILLION just last year.

So, yeah, we're not impressed that he donated his $400,000 presidential salary.

I guess Hassett decided the backlash of scorn and ridicule from every reputable economist in America was a bridge too far for him, and he will just have to settle for lying about Trump's economy rather than making threats. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump’s EPA just rolled back critical, lifesaving Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, allowing dirty coal plants to release more mercury, arsenic, and other dangerous pollutants into our air.

Rep. Johnny Garrett, running for Congress, RUNS 🏃🏻 from us + Tennessean reporter Vivian Jones to 🦆 Duck Q’s about his lie that undocumented immigrants commit 50% of crimes in TN

(Per the AG it’s 2%, 90% of those non-violent/traffic. Also we’d love details.)

Judge orders takeover of health care operations in Arizona prisons after years of poor care A federal judge has ordered a takeover of health care operations in Arizona’s prisons and will appoint an official to run the system after years of complaints about poor medical and mental health care.

A federal judge ordered an independent administrator to take control of Arizona's prison health care system after widespread medical neglect by the state.

This life-saving intervention is a result of years of our litigation, and we'll keep fighting until the preventable suffering and deaths end.

The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs, even though some importers may have already passed on costs to consumers or others.

The dissenting justices in the 6-3 tariffs decision write:

"The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs, even though some importers may have already passed on costs to consumers or others."

Majority opinion appears silent on the issue.

Accordingly, the President must “point to clear congressional authorization” to justify his extraordinary assertion of the power to impose tariffs.He cannot

Major takeaway from SCOTUS's 6-3 ruling striking down Trump's tariffs.

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."

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

The squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers.

This is a mess of Trump's own making — and a reminder that he's not all powerful.

Exactly.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump does NOT have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs — delivering a major blow to Trump’s sweeping “emergency” tariff regime.

Embattled Texas GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales has been under investigation by the congressional ethics watchdog since last year over an alleged romantic affair with a staffer, who then died by suicide. Regina Ann Santos-Aviles died on Sept. 14 after pouring gasoline on herself and lighting herself on fire.
