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-...

The former President of South Korea has been convicted of insurrection and sentenced to life.

Former Prince Andrew faces life in prison in the UK over his Epstein ties.

The orange felon committed insurrection and is fully tied to Epstein and was sent to the WH. The US is sick.

Robert Duvall, actor who specialized in tightly wound men, has died Duvall did not stand out for his movie star looks but for the intensity and depth he brought to the screen in such films as "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now."

On of the great actors I watched my whole life has passed. He will be missed.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.
