Trump’s tariffs get frosty reception at federal appeals court During a lengthy oral argument, judges were skeptical that Trump had the power to use an emergency law to enact the tariffs.

Trump’s trade deadline is up β€” tariffs are set to soar. Judges seemed unconvinced he had the power to impose them using an emergency law. Chaos, meet courtroom. www.politico.com/new...

At this moment, the health, food security, and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Virginians are under attack. Trump’s chaos and this Republican Congress are hurting our state β€” we need a governor who will fight back and put Virginians first. #VAGovRace

Forget eggsβ€”the cost of coffee is skyrocketing, and folks are noticing.

I heard it was coming, so I stocked up weeks ago, but my supply won’t last forever. Trump’s Brazil tariffs are to blame.

Trump-supporting police chiefs are pissed that DHS is recruiting with huge signing bonuses and loan forgiveness as bait, because they’re about to lose their best and brightest to ICE.

Basically, ICE is defunding the police.

Trump's DOJ rewrites inclusion rules for grant programs to benefit white Americans The move follows the administration's focus on "anti-white racism"

The Trump administration is twisting diversity and inclusion language to benefit white Americans β€” making it a requirement for receiving federal grants. Equity, but make it upside down. www.axios.com/2025/0...

The rest of the world doesn’t think Trump is making America great, and we’re paying the price.

πŸ“Œ Fewer travelers are coming to the U.S.

Can’t imagine why.
Masked ICE agents, mass shootings, a president who slaps tariffs on Canada, lying that it’s about fentanyl when it’s really about control.

ARE YOU AWARE: While the DOJ β€” at Trump’s bidding β€” hides the Epstein files, little if any attention is being paid to this: The U.S. Virgin Islands, acting independently from U.S. law enforcement, exposed Epstein’s international sex trafficking empire β€” and won a record $105M+ civil settlement in 2022 from his estate.
Their AG called it:
β€œAn expansive criminal enterprise… where dozens of young women and children were trafficked, raped, sexually assaulted, and held captive."
They named it the "Epstein Enterprise".
They froze accounts, forced the sale of Epstein’s private islands, and clawed back over $80M in fraudulent tax credits.
This case got next to zero headlines.
Why?
▢️ It didn’t come from the FBI.
▢️ It didn’t come from U.S. DOJ.
▢️ It came from a Black woman AG in a U.S. territory who did what the U.S. DOJ wouldn't do: expose the elite cover-up.
So we ask:
Where are the Virgin Islands Epstein files?
The documents. The photos. The logs.
We know they exist.
We demand their release.

Apparently, Republicans DO feel shame for what they're doing.

How is a bill like this able to pass without voters knowing?

Trump's suspension of "reciprocal" tariffs will end soon, which means the world could face higher tariffs once again. www.cnbc.com/2025/07...

Detainees at Florida’s β€œAlligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro HernΓ‘ndez, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.
