The Tariffs Will Be Back Even after losing at the Supreme Court, the president has plenty of ways to reconstruct his trade regime.

The Supreme Court ruling that struck down Donald Trump’s tariffs “is a major setback for Trump’s trade agenda, but it is far from a fatal one,” Rogé Karma argues:

Oh?

She is awesome to read

Don't expect ICE's crimes and terrorism to end. They're likely not only to continue, but to evolve and adapt for greater evasion of accountability.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Ben Smith: I don’t know if Stephen Miller resigns before the midterms, resigns after the midterms, or sticks around. But this feels like that moment when a president puts a lot of confidence in one adviser to steer national policy in a direction that turns out to be politically disastrous.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

GOP Rep Randy Fine is not only an anti-Muslim bigot, he's also an anti-Christian bigot!

Release the Trump/Epstein files.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

The interesting thing about ICE and CBP blatant lies is that it has normie people questioning what other law enforcement lies like this on the regular.

It has shattered a lot of the deference people had.

Same.

And all politics aside, what king of person lacks the common human decency to even turn their head to acknowledge the victims of childhood rape?

Sickening...

#AccountabilityIsComing

Wish I was a slightly faster researcher and writer. I have a major story coming out about Ruemmler. (Though it is not scooped by anything coming out tonight.)

I will simply say I am zero percent surprised by this resignation.

“So your belief is white Americans face more discrimination than Black Americans - prior to the Trump administration fixing this?”

Jeremy Carl, Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state Department spot, is “likely to sink” after today’s performance, per CNN.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

They sold the AI revolution as convenience.
It was always about replacing workers.

Cartoon showing a wall with the Epstein files hanging on it. A crowd is looking at it. Trump is standing behind them with two ape plush dolls saying "Hey, think of me as a racist, not as a pedophile."

A Letter to Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post Dear Jeff Bezos and the leadership team of The Washington Post...

An open letter Jeff Bezos and Washington Post leadership:

🚨🚨Poland to examine “increasingly likely possibility that pedophilia scandal was co-organized by intelligence services” in Moscow.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

The AI buildout is getting cash strapped The biggest tech companies are increasingly getting creative with their balance sheets as they finance their AI ambitions.

Elon didn't use SpaceX to devour xAI because of "synergy" or whatever corporate bullshit. He didn't sink $2 billion from Tesla into xAI because it's gonna drive the cars. He's doing it all because xAI is bleeding cash at an insane rate and flailing. #TeslaTakedown www.axios.com/2026/02/03/s...

For those keeping score at home:

👹

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimes—contradicting her sworn testimony.
