The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Wonderful analysis addressing what to watch at the High Court in the coming months….

If you missed Trump‘s speech to the military leadership, or have been snoozing since he resumed Office, it appears that he and roughly 30% of the voting population that support him, want the 70% that does not to give up our liberties and freedom. If we don’t, he will take them using our military.

More on TRUMP TARIFFS: I have 6 AI platforms on my iPhone. Perplexity & ChatGPT5 do a decent job with legal analysis. AI’s bottom line is the Supreme Court (with CJ Roberts the swing vote) will strike down Trump‘s tariffs in a 5/4 decision. A good test for political/legal prognostication by AI.

Big ruling against Trump's blatantly illegal imposition of tariffs, which are taxes on every American. Working my way through the 127 pages of opinion, so more later. THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL, WITH NO LESS THAN THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AT ISSUE! See:

When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that the politicized US Supreme Court under CJ John Roberts is just another political body appended to the executive branch. The six conservatives on that court are in fact radicals.

Apple has a new AI problem—this time from Elon Musk, who’s threatening ‘legal action’ if it doesn’t knock ChatGPT off the top of its App Store — FORTUNE Musk is threatening “legal action” if Apple doesn’t knock ChatGPT off the top of its App Store.

Elon makes clear everyday that he doesn’t want a level playing field so he pouts & shouts when he doesn’t get his way. This is not a lawsuit he can win. The case will get tossed for it can’t survive a motion to dismiss IF HE FILES IT! (BTW a really stupid headline!)

The mainstream media is way too silent on Trump‘s enablers, his staff that is cooking up all these weird and radical schemes. For Pete’s sake, Trump doesn’t even know what he might be doing, let alone how to execute these absurd authoritarian ploys. EXPOSE THEM. Some are soluble in sunlight. :-)
