Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion.

It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections.

These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.

Be warned.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Big additional point: The majority doesn't say *anything* about what happens next with respect to possible refunds (a point Kavanaugh emphasizes at the end of his 63(!)-page dissent). Presumably, that question will go back to the Court of International Trade to try to sort out in the first instance.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

Delivering a major blow to President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that he exceeded his authority when imposing sweeping tariffs using a law reserved for a national emergency:

Based on two words separated by 16 others in Section 1702(a)(1)(B) of IEEPA—“regulate” and “importation”—the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time. Those words cannot bear such weight.

SCOTUS strikes down Trump's tariff authority, skewering his interpretation of the 1977 law to impose tariffs of "unlimited amount, duration, and scope."

"Those words cannot bear such weight."

Americans oppose the tactics ICE is using to enforce immigration laws by 2:1 margin: Poll Over half of Americans say they're angry or upset over immigration enforcement.

There's a huge backlash across the political spectrum to ICE's abuses of power under Trump—the violence, racial profiling & warrantless home invasions

As @democracydefendersfund.org has called for, it's time for Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem to be fired👇

The world is watching!

When a nation cages children, strips rights, silences dissent & weaponizes poverty, the world doesn’t call it leadership!

It calls it Crimes Against Humanity!

Survivors demand Justice! Children deserve to be Safe!

Big Brother is becoming real

This Reddit community is epic when it comes to probing and exposing the Epstein files. (It does have some bizarre stuff from time to time).

You’ve got to click through to really be able to read this, but note that the box on the top right says this will actually be a two-level facility, with around 5,200 beds on the ground floor (if I’m reading the blurry text right) and around 3,100 on the “mezzanine.”

Epic.

Don't close your eyes or become numb.

These predators must be held accountable.

Hello intellectual:

Knowledge = social responsibility.

Knowledge = social responsibility.

Knowledge = social responsibility.

If you break the law, you’re a criminal. If you don’t uphold the law, you’re corrupt and lawless, so you are also a criminal. The Epstein files have the power to destroy the entire Republican party. It’s just a matter of drawing as much attention to them as possible:

The FBI obtained credible evidence that Donald Trump sexually abused a 13-15 year old girl

It is stunning to write a sentence like that about a US president

What’s worse, there are still interviews-not to mention millions of documents-in the Epstein files which haven’t yet been made public

Boycott Trump’s address.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

They’re all nihilists. We lapsed into an age of nihilists (which might be okay, if a lot of these pluckers weren’t also sociopaths and psychopaths). However, it seems to me that these personality types are drawn to nihilism.

What kind of human? Men who take care of their own bodies, but take pleasure in depriving other humans of this same ability. These men (also women) are ICE agents working in detention centers.

8 in-custody deaths in 50 days—one every 6 days. This needs to be a much larger story.

In an illegal move, tRump says he's transferring $10 billion from the U.S. government to the ‘Board of Peace’, of which he designated himself chairman for life. It’s a pretend organization that allows him to take bribes from foreign governments to curry favor.

#ProudBlue #BoardOfPeace #GOPedophiles

At the very least, we owe it to them to know what’s going on, to speak up about it, to expose it and speak against it so that other people know what’s going on.

😭

Boy this is upsetting.

Horrific details👇of ICE agents’ extreme racism and cruelty during a joint operation in Nashville with Tennessee officers. Grateful for this reporting: nashvillebanner.com/2026/02/19/i...
