Imo the supreme court draws the line on trump tariff illegality and orders tariffs returned to jan 21 2025 levels.
There will be no rewund or repayment of tariffs paid between jan21 and the date of the order.
It is impossible to rewind fairly.

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

ICE agent wounds deputy U.S. marshal and TikTok streamer, who is charged with assault Carlitos Ricardo Parias was charged Tuesday night with assault on a federal officer after the immigration operation in L.A. in which the suspect and a U.S. marshal were injured.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

EU need to step up.

Anyone with a brain can figure out that a 50-year mortgage is a red flag that house prices are too high & household incomes are too low.

Lucy and the football 24/7

A loser who can't stop losing. Ironically she uses hate to validate her devotion to jesus of nazareth, who commanded his followers to love their neighbors. Wut!

This tells you what trump's aspirations are: to replicate the opulent dynasties of historical europe and asia, and the modern ones in the middle east.
There is Nothing more unamerican than trump's personal american dream.

Father, son slain in Little Village were 'hardworking people,' relative says

Two men, a father and son, were fatally shot Saturday while chasing a suspect who robbed their jewelry store in Little Village.

My take from the election is that diversity is our superpower. The right candidate in the right race at the right time. And the right time is now.
Add in a tsunami of volunteers to get the message out and it may continue to be a winning strategy.

5000 people have signed up to run for office with @runforsomething.net in the last week. Between the election wins & the shutdown fury, we’re taking that momentum in to 2026.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me” • They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me • Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked • She was filmed while stripped naked • Prison was 40 degrees but no water was given to Greta and her friends for days • People fell sick. Guards mocked them saying they would gas them, showing them cylinders • She was kept in solitary confinement for hours with bugs

This is what Israel did to Greta.

Considering Russia was building a military base there, I am not surprised.
