oh no....someone made "Cynical Publius" mad :(

Gov. Pritzker's letter to Donald Trump demanding a refund on tariffs.

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Pritzker’s invoice to White House:

(via @nbcnews.com) @govpritzker.illinois.gov

He has committed many crimes, openly; there is simply no US-based AG with the appetite to pursue it. The mechanism is: create the political environment where that is no longer the case

This is the best meme to come out of that election cycle

frankly asserting that conservative justices of the supreme court are slimeballs under malign foreign interest is an accusation that even the hardest partisan warriors wouldn't make, and trump's doing it about two justices he, himself, appointed

"I won't pay the refunds!"
Again- poasting his ass into a nullification crisis over the tariffs. Honestly think this might be the wedge for the business sector.

Trump announces new 10% global tariff after raging over Supreme Court loss

President Donald Trump said Friday he will sign an executive order imposing a new 10% “global tariff,” hours after the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping “reciprocal” import duties in a major rebuke of his trade agenda… www.cnbc.com/2026/02/20/t...

lol he's so mad

...and when he inevitably re-imposes the tariffs under equally dubious but different sections

One alternative to IEEPA is section 122, which allows for 15% tariffs up to 150 days, which gets very close to the midterms

*pounding the table* STOVE STOVE STOVE STOVE STOVE

We just learned GDP growth was a pathetic annualized 1.4% in Q4 2025. This is a disaster. Remember that Trump, Bessent and the other who’s who of clowns have been saying 5, 6, and even 8% GDP growth is coming.

ROBERTS, C. J., announced the judgment of the Court and delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to Parts I, II–A–1, and II–B, in which SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, GORSUCH, BARRETT, and JACKSON, JJ., joined, and an opinion with respect to Parts II–A–2 and III, in which GORSUCH and BARRETT, JJ., joined. GORSUCH, J., and BARRETT, J., filed concurring opinions. KAGAN, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment, in which SOTOMAYOR and JACKSON, JJ., joined. JACKSON, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment. THOMAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion. KAVANAUGH, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which THOMAS and ALITO, JJ., joined.

Why we had to wait so long for the fucking tariffs opinion.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

White House Ballroom Design Approved by Trump Commission After One Hearing The US Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump, also suggested making changes to the White House mansion to make it closer to the design of the new ballroom.

The Commission of Fine Arts said that it received more than 2,000 comments on the White House ballroom — by far the most it's ever seen on any proposal. More than 99% of the comments were negative.

We go a little too far with empathy sometimes. This woman is stupid, being stupid made her a bad mother, and being a bad mother may kill her kid. She should be told this.

Sacrificing your useless indebted moocher brother is like the most basic play as a king, the only thing that’s more basic is sacrificing your unpopular advisor as a sin-eater for your policies

Yes. As a capitalism-sympathetic social democrat, I believe we have a duty to markets to ensure money can act as a disciplinary measure. We have literally reached the fail state of money. Elon can lose 90% of his wealth and functionally lose no practical value. We broke the invisible hand.

We shouldn’t laugh. She’s basically saying “never trust someone who is rude to the waiter” and you know what? She’s right.

Voters are much smarter than the poll-watchers give them credit for. They’re making judgements about honesty and character. And that is very rational.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Right now we are at the nadir - so far - of Trump’s second term, as his catastrophic authoritarianism boils into death and chaos in the streets and the wreckage of our institutions is all around. If you’re not able to say “You know, I’ll be voting Democrat in 2028,” we need to have a blunt chat.

I've actually started a graphic novel for real! And that means I'm gonna have to make a lot of meaningful choices and Get Good at representing things fast. #graphicnovel #wip

they're calling it the most bluesky reply of all time (to the idea that it's baby-brained decadence to say a politician's job is to "delight" you before you're willing to vote for them)
