Trump's Friday morning so far:

-- extremely disappointing 4th quarter GDP number
-- inflation report hotter than expected
-- Supreme Court strikes down tariffs

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office.

This is looting.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Congress: he can’t go to war without us!!!

I mean… technically, you’re right.

Maybe do something about it other than a strongly worded letter.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump."

TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."

No, Donald Trump cannot implement voting changes via Executive Order. He may try but if he does, he we will sue and we will win.

This is what I’ve been talking about for weeks now.

There’s still a potential (read: very very small) for an off-ramp, but they aren’t sending all this hardware into the region for nothing.

It's hard to believe that you could be the trade representative for a major power and not know that tariffs are regressive.

My econ 101 students know what the word regressive means, and that tariffs are regressive. Many could even cite studies on the subject.

BREAKING: I read the new version of the β€œSave America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty β€œSAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.

"The Trump regime is a disaster not just for public health in the US, but worldwide. There has been a great deal of discussion of the ways in which Trump’s reckless foreign policy has put global security at risk. But US abandonment of public health leadership may well be even more consequential."

Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.

ALFORD: We're not doing the drop boxes, which led to a lot of mistrust during the 2020 election


BORIS SANCHEZ: Well, a lot of that mistrust was sewn by the president, who made repeated false claims about widespread election fraud when there was none

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

"Just making s**t up" β€” David Roberts sounds off on the EPA "To say members of Congress didn’t anticipate a specific pollutant is just f**king comical."

This and the FDA's refusal to approve the new MRNA flu vaccine are the things that really scare me at the moment. The science deniers in the administration are going to damage our lives & health well beyond their own political half-lives.
