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."

If someone says they’re not political, I’ll assume they’re happy with the current administration.

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion.
But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.

Individualized mRNA vaccines evoke durable T cell immunity in adjuvant TNBC - Nature In a phase 1 trial, personalized mRNA vaccines tailored to individual tumour mutations in triple-negative breast cancer induced robust, long-lasting T cell responses and improved prognosis.

More hope from mRNA vaccines. In this instance, individualized vaccines were given to women with triple negative breast cancer following surgery and adjuvant therapy. The results are quite remarkable. Despite cancer finding a ‘T cell-evading’ work-around in some patients.

Justice Jackson: “When Congress tells us why it has included certain language in a statute, the limited role of the courts in our democratic system of government—as interpreters, not lawmakers—demands that we give effect to the will of the people.” #tariffs

Voting is important but not the only path to fixing our current problems! There are protests, economic blacklists, a targeted general strike, impeachment of corrupt officials! There are all peaceful non-violent ways to attempt to solve our current situation!

Trump Calls Former Prince Andrew’s Arrest ‘Very Sad’ The former royal was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and later released Thursday.

The former royal was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and later released Thursday.

But you probably are sending this message to millions of people, Governor.

And this kind of braiding of personal aggrandizement and personalization and trivialization (or erasure) of real issues, of campaigning, of possible self-enrichment etc etc is another strain of Trumpism.

No thank you.

Once again, trump is projecting as it's foreign influence which controls him and is making the US a far weaker nation!

Took the bus this morning because SLC didn’t plow most streets well enough to bike. The bus was packed. People of all ages. Transit is pretty good in Northern Utah (for a red state), but it could be even better if we stopped wasting money on freeway expansion

Trump’s first wife, Ivana Zelníčková, fell down the stairs and di*d just a week before she was supposed to testify against Trump.
She is buried on a golf course; her grave is overgrown with we-ds, and no one ever visits it.
For some reason, that doesn’t surprise anyone at all…

The UK arresting Andrew.

South Korea tossing their wannabe dictator in jail for life.

John Roberts better be getting a really nice Edible Arrangement from the White House.

Russia is currently losing 30,000–35,000 soldiers per month, either killed or seriously wounded, according to Zelensky.

They are literally paying with the lives of 156 people to occupy 1 km of Ukrainian land.

I've been driving gas and diesel my whole life. I learned to work on them because I had to if I wanted one, shit ain't cheap. This is the adoption gap the EV faces: most motherfuckers in this country don't have the money for a new ass car.

Period.

Until wages and affordability goes way up. 🤷🚫💸

Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

Want to send a little thank you and a prayer up for the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Seeing him speak at the First AME Church in South Central the Sunday after the LA riots began, was an out of body experience. He about raised the roof in there and let the healing begin. 🙌🙏🙌 Rev Jackson Testified

England is arresting people and the White House press isn’t even asking questions about Epstein.

Republicans need to take responsibility for having their cult leader being in the Epstein Files.

All they do is lie.

Post everyone that is involved with Epstein before they silence us all.

UK FAFO works for them!
Statement from the family of Virginia Giuffre on the arrest of former Prince Andrew:

Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.

He was never a prince.

For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you."

During the figure skating coverage they showed Sarah Hughes in the crowd. A lot of you are too young to remember a 16-year-old Long Island kid, performing five months after 9/11, going out and having the performance of a lifetime to win a gold medal.

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Another great sad cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social

What $70 million in taxpayer money buys: a private luxury jet for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around on.

And we’re supposed to believe it’s used for deporting undocumented immigrants.

If you have a maga representative, even if you don't, bother them for justice for the victims. After all, it was maga who said there was an elite global cabal of pedophiles.
