A must-see for anyone thinking about what 2026 has in store.

THREAD: The Supreme Court has just ruled that the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. Trump used IEEPA to impose large swaths of his “reciprocal” tariffs.

"While the core of the Epstein saga will always be his web of sexual abusers and the women and girls they preyed on (...) Epstein’s emails read like a self-help group for the 0.01 per cent."

It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trving to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."
Michael and Susan Pretti: "Please get the truth out about our son: he was a good man."

Spike in uncertainty in April 2025 during the tariff tantrum showed up as paralysis in hiring much of the year since then - a little more than 84% of all jobs for 2025
Devastating news in Spain 😔
