More than 20 states sue over new global tariffs Trump imposed after his stinging Supreme Court loss Some two dozen states are challenging President Donald Trump’s new global tariffs in court. On Thursday, the states filed a lawsuit over import taxes he imposed after a stinging loss at the Supreme Co...

The Supreme Court was clear that Donald Trump’s tariffs were illegal, but he’s doubling down.

We’re headed to court to stop him — we’ve won before and we will again.

Mullin’s record is marked by impulsiveness, public confrontations, and blurred institutional boundaries. Homeland Security’s effectiveness should depend heavily on public trust. Not on physical altercations and highly charged rhetoric.

U.S. Military Joins Drug War in Ecuador: “It Wasn’t Going to Be Just Boat Strikes Forever” Two government officials told The Intercept that the joint U.S.–Ecuador military action won’t just be a one-off raid.

The US under 'antiwar' Trump has now also launched military operations in Ecuador too:

The stock market is tanking, gas prices are spiking, the DHS Secretary was just fired after lying under oath to Congress, prices keep going up, Trump refuses to refund tariffs despite a SCOTUS decision, and we are in another war in the Middle East.

When does the winning start?

I haven’t forgotten the Epstein Files and the reality the current usurper in the White House raped children and laundered money, resulting in being blackmailed by multiple foreign governments to do their bidding.

I hope you don’t forget it, either.

It's great that not only is Kristi Noem out but that President Trump did it in the most humiliating way possible.

Trump taps Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem as DHS secretary Kristi Noem faced criticism for the killing of two American citizens by federal agents, her relationship with Corey Lewandowski, and a $220 million ad campaign.

"She is the first Cabinet secretary to be fired by Trump in his second term..."

Well done, Mr. Hamill. Glad some of America appreciates one of the world's best satirical magazines! Are you a subscriber? I'm sure Ian Hislop, editor, would be delighted if you were although I doubt he's ever seen any Star Wars films.

Will they make the difference in the current war against the Mullahs? I have known them. I have filmed them. They are among the finest fighters in the world.

Trump can't simply say, "I won!" and stop the war because that would leave Israel vulnerable. Trump has committed you and your children to fighting in the Middle East forever without consulting you or your representatives in Congress. Netanyahu knew what he was doing when he engineered this.

Kristi Noem’s firing is well-earned. The atrocities she oversaw, the falsehoods she peddled, & the corruption she committed—all richly deserve her discharge. President Trump should have made it explicit, rather than disguising it with another position of public trust.

The problem(s) with Markwayne Mullin’s defense of Pete Hegseth The Oklahoma Republican tried to defend Hegseth against allegations of sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse. It didn't go especially well.

Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s pick for Homeland Security secretary, found a weird way to defend Pete Hegseth against accusations that he showed up drunk to work when he was at Fox News. Mullin said senators show up drunk to work, too.

And she's out, not even an hour later.

Trump is presenting Mullin's appointment as automatic, but he still has to go through Senate confirmation hearings like everyone else. They're usually deferential to their colleagues, but I think this guy for this post in this election year might prompt issues
