Federal court rejects Trump administration attempt to slow tariff refund process A federal court on Monday rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to slow the process of refunding billions of dollars’ worth of tariffs the Supreme Court struck down as illegal last month.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit started the next phase in the refund process by sending it to a lower court to sort out.

In a court filing Friday, Trump’s Justice Department had urged the Federal Circuit to proceed cautiously and hold off for 90 days. But the judges refused.

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.

Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

This makes me sad. Children deserve privacy. Kids in the LGBTQIA community are already facing a mental health crisis.

41% of LGBTQ+ high school students reported seriously considering suicide in the past year, compared with 13% of cisgender & heterosexual students.

You know, before we even get into the fact that the population of that state is consistently one of the oldest in the country, that the other Senator in the state is in his 80’s, or that the consultant she’s boosting also helped out a guy who filed for reelection a year ago for a year he’ll be 89…

I’m not pretending the statewide-elected Governor’s age is an issue when one of the most vile people in politics is boosting one of the main consultants who recruited her opponent trying to slyly “both sides” her & Biden vs Trump’s fitness as the same.

Morris is 1 of the consultants who recruited GP to run. Like how he & Rebecca worked for Ruben before. They also worked for ZM, Bernie, & Fet. Lis as in Smith, the mess that used to screw Spitzer & go after Cuomo’s accusers before she got that Pete job whose been repeatedly connected to James in TX.

Lis boosting Morris Katz’s bullshit re Mills on behalf of Oyster Boy & multitasking to talk about electability nonsense re the elected Governor in that state the night before the other guy’s primary is interesting. The new trash he’s getting minimal pushback over is part of it but it’s noticeable.

The longer you sit with it & remember how often he puts his foot in his mouth the more sense it makes tbh. I’m more curious about Lis pondering tonight about Mills’ “electability” re her age & “voters believing people lied about Biden’s health” & rt’ing Morris comparing her to 2024 Biden negatively.

Honest question. Are people really this shocked by Gallego’s endorsement?

Did everyone forgot about his leaked text messages?

Or bitching about DEMS/Biden? AZ was a recipient of a ton of BBB investments & instead of talking about that with voters in ‘24 he blamed Biden for weak messaging.

He knew for over a decade that his tattoo symbolized guards who would have murdered my children inside a gas chamber. That alone gives me chills. Then further look into his oyster "business" shows he sells a few oysters to his mom's restaurant. He is horrible. Dems must do better.

Four months later, the "progressive" wing of the Democratic Party (to the extent that it's really Democratic Party and not DSA) is still pushing a racist, antisemitic, misogynist Nazi tatto bro.

If the progressive wing isn't going to reevaluate its candidate, shouldn't it be reevaluated?

Graham Platner is a disgrace and so are the podcast pod bros, Bernard, and anyone else supporting that racist nazi misogynistic pos

Get your shit together, Maine..

So “rough edges” include a rich white guy with Nazi tattoos? They are not Democrats, and should not be getting money from the Democratic Party.

Now Nazis are described as having "rough edges."

By their "strategists." In the 1940s, they were just called Nazis.

No to Oyster Boy.

This is destructive to the entire Democratic Party.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You're right about him being a threat to EVERY Democrat running for office.

Ugh, what a friggin' mess.

Chip in! Show your support with a contribution.

If you're as disgusted with this endorsement as I am, one way to express it is to donate to Gov. Mills instead.

Or they have and they decided to endorse either a) despite or b) because of the racism, antisemitism, and misogyny.

If WE all know it, then surely Gallego does too.

Dear Sen. Gallego:

I raised $136,000 for your own Senate campaign.

I've been a fan of much of what you've done so far.

To say I'm disgusted with this endorsement is a massive understatement.

Even if you weren't a fan of Gov. Mills, you could've just kept out of the Maine race entirely.

Wishing the Jewish community in LA and around the world a safe and joyous Purim.

May we all have the courage of Esther to stand up against injustice. Chag Purim Sameach!

If you read and listen to foreign policy experts, you’ll see that no one can say it’s “likely.”

That’s one of several possible outcomes.

It’s also possible that by the time hostilities are over, the IRGC will be done.

I'm sorry to see this.

Platner is a Nazi-tattoo-wearing, racist misogynist. "Working families"? Maybe if you're a white racist misogynist Nazi.

No to both him and Gallego.

See the thread that follows for all the reasons not to support Platner. Gallego should have thought about them. 1/2

🇺🇦❗️🇮🇷 Zelensky: We see what is happening in the Middle East and in the Gulf region. We hope that the regime in Iran will not win, because it is an anti-human regime, and it is spreading the war to practically its entire region. Let us remember: we are all opposed to the same evil – those who destroy life, those who despise people. It is not for nothing that Moscow and the regime in Iran were so close. What unites them is that people are not respected. And we all in Europe, in the world, must be effective in protecting against such regimes – we must be effective so that life wins.

For those who #StandWithUkraine, comments from President Zelensky on Iran.

Remember that the Islamist regime in Iran provided Shehab missiles to Russia to terrorize and kill Ukrainians.

This is the first time I’ve heard the ‘fallout’ between Trump and Epstein described as stemming from a real estate deal.

No surprise, though. It sure as hell wasn’t over ethics.

In this thread watch President Bill Clinton say that Trump told him that he had great times over the years with Jeffrey Epstein.

Then watch Secretary Clinton as she finds out that Lauren Boebert broke committee rules and sent out pictures from the deposition to conservative YouTuber Benny Johnson.
