If those who claim the authority of law do not obey the law, and the law does not stop them, then they do not have the authority of law, because there is no longer any law.

The Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, which we've been paying for about a year now. This is good news for the American people - and it's the latest proof that this president, no matter what he says, can be stopped.

“a case where the legal merits of the President’s action were just too transparently bogus even for this Court to manage”

Dems should have a bill up by next week to redirect ICE/DHS funding to fund $1000 individual taxpayer tariff refunds.

@aoc.bsky.social PLEASE announce a bill to refund every taxpayer the unlawful Trump tariff taxes based on the published annual $1000 amount, to be paid for by diverting funds from ICE/DHS real estate purchase budget.

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."

Remember last year when @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social announced the rapid response task force and litigation working group, and everyone said he was doing nothing and it was a waste of time and it didn’t count.

Do you still feel that way?

The shutdown helps Democrats by changing what "immigration" means to voters Trump's approval on immigration varies by nearly 20 points depending on whether respondents are asked about border security, deportations, ICE, or immigration in general

New piece:
The shutdown helps Democrats by changing what "immigration" means to voters. "Border security" is much better territory for Trump than "deportations," or "maked federal agents have been deployed to your community to disappear long-term residents"

This underscores another reason for Dems to emphasize criminal prosecutions in the upcoming campaign—at the very least it adds a risk consideration for all perpetrating these heinous acts, and might at least temper the worst abuses.

From FB comments: The day a prince got handcuffed, POTUS fell asleep in his own meeting, & a giant portrait of Trump was hung on the DoJ building...somehow this is just a Thursday. Take a moment to consider this, because it's crucial to be observant in today's world, not just skim over things🗣️

1. Of course I love this ad (and Juliana)

2. I don’t think the DC “thinkers” get how much the Democratic base is tired of being lectured to about the “norms.” You guys let Trump throw it all away. Spare us handwringing over language and maybe take to a diner and get in touch with how people feel.

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office.

This is looting.
