The actual amount collected under IEEPA is somewhat unknown but it's likely well over $100bn. And claims are transferrable, so a small importer can sell them at a discount (say, 80 cents on the dollar) to another entity that would bundle and sue over a whole bunch of smaller claims.

the two types of vehicle are cars and trucks, with every vehicle being a subclass of one of those two. a jeep is a truck. a motorcycle is obviously a car. a boat is a truck. an airplane is a car and a helicopter is a truck. trucks are cars, interestingly enough, and cars are a specific type of chair

"Journalists have not only the right, but the responsibility to observe and report events in the public interest. It is not illegal to document a protest against the federal government. The fact that the protest took place in a church does not negate journalists’ First Amendment rights to report."

Opinion | This Is the Only Card Trump Can Play

I would, I think, normally have dismissed or at least shrugged at the Governor’s invocation of MN as a special place with its own ethos and distinct moral identity.
