The common thread of everything that's happened during trump 2.0 is that, no matter what else occurs, money goes into donny's pocket and those of his wealthy friends.

Lawmakers take on Big Data, housing bills, ICE liability in the Colorado legislature this week Welcome to another Monday in the state Capitol, folks. Lawmakers are settling in for a week of housing debates and efforts to limit the sharing of Big Data β€” and set liability for immigration…

On the Big Data front: Lawmakers of both parties have proposed legislation that would take various steps to limit law enforcement access to personal data.

What products does Federal Expressions make and import into the US that triggered a tariff? They fronted the payment of duties on behalf of importers, but FedEx is not the proper recipient of a refund. Each importer would need to make a claim.

Question I will ask again, has ANYONE even announced they are running in the Democratic primaries for president?

We don’t owe anyone undying support before we even know who all the options are. Grow the fuck up, people.

I got 27 boxes of GS Cookies two weeks ago. I've been pacing myself, so I still have 5 boxes left. I hope they still have a few boxes remaining. They take advantage of GS cookie addicts.

The press has reported on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. It’s far bigger and even more important. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-tariff-decision

TRUMP JUST STRAIGHT UP THREATENED THE COUNTRY! WHEN WILL CONGRESS FINALLY STEP UP??

Trump, calling the ruling β€œridiculous,” also pointed out he could β€œdestroy” trade with other countries with embargoes though he could not charge them a dollar in tariffs.

The tariffs are outside his scope of authority. Threatening other countries as well as his own is not part of his "duty." Making an end run around the Court is not a proper response. How about it, Roberts? Got enough illegal activity outside of his Presidential remit to bring him before the House.
