The Trump administrationโ€™s FDA loosened its approach to artificial food dyes by permitting โ€œno artificial colorsโ€ labels for products that exclude petroleum-based dyes but may still contain additives like titanium dioxide or caramel color with 4-MEIโ€”substances linked to cancer and other health risksโ€”prompting critics to call it a misleading rollback of earlier reform pledges, while HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and industry groups framed the move as progress toward shifting companies to โ€œnaturally derivedโ€ alternatives instead of imposing an outright ban.

A regressive tax, one that affects middle class and working class people disproportionately:

A tariff โ€œrefundโ€ mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. Thatโ€™s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.

With regard to Epstein. Our side is gonna have to own that apparently none of our administrations gave a shit about the global pedophile ring either. However, I think that's attenuated by the fact that Trump has actually been president twice and he ran on Epstein files both times.

When a long text from Assolini starts likes this what could possibly go wrong...

"Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday..."
Attached is the answer.
He can't do this.

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

By the time heโ€™s done, Iโ€™ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

The reference to families is the extra touch that makes Trump a lowlife thug and Trump followers fucking trash.

Trumpโ€™s prior tariff regime was already ruled unlawful. The Supreme Court made clear that the president does not possess unchecked power to impose global taxes under the guise of emergency authority. The rule of law prevailed in that decision.

Rather than comply with the ruling in substance, Trump appears to be pursuing a new workaround built on the same flawed (illegal) premise. The strategy, as I discussed in my report, is straightforward. The previous tariffs remained in place for roughly sixteen months before the Court invalidated them. Trump is now attempting another legally unsupported move that may take time to challenge and resolve.

At the same time, the economic news continues to deteriorate. The latest data released Friday showed core PCE inflation running around 3 percent and GDP growth at just 1.4 percent during Trumpโ€™s first year back in office. These figures fall far short of the growth projections Trump repeatedly promised. The tariffs he is now escalating will function as taxes on American families and businesses at a moment when the economy is already under strain.

Donald Trump is preparing for his State of the Union address by trembling in a corner and screaming at imaginary people he thinks are saying things at him.

It is going to be the *messiest* State of the Union ever.
