That said, I want more people to call out the SCOTUS’s role in everything from an “originalist” perspective.
I don’t really give a flip what the framers intended 250 years ago. We need to stop treating them as some sort of deific figures whose intent and will is immutable 250 years later.
I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

This is why @govpritzker.illinois.gov needs to drop the @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, and @booker.senate.gov performative-only act and put Illinois police on notice that they have a job to do and that is not turning a blind eye to HSI/ICE/whoever.
US Citizen dragged from car by Border Patrol in Chicago

After hitting her car from behind

"I was in shock and terrified.”

Video from witness provides a different angle of encounter.

Bystander who is filming tells federal agents: "You hit her. We all saw it."

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?
I don’t care what the rules are, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and the Dems could take the initiative at any time, but are too feckless and meek to do anything substantive.
Congress may as well not exist at this point under this Spineless Speaker.

What the real play is is to further drive out minorities and marginalized groups.
I think Argentina got more per capita than this “donation”, but the hardliners will take the bait and say this shows that Trump cares about them. 🤢
At about $100/each, cheapest mercenaries ever. Also violates several laws and policies, but what does that matter?

For a matrer of scale:
The $130M “donation” to the military is ~$100/member.
Jeff Bezos gave Van Jones $100M in 2021.
They can easily pay taxes.
$230M being “coincidentally” the amount he is also demanding from the DOJ.

They do not have State immunity. They will be tried in a state court for breaking state laws. Baby Hitler needs to learn about states rights.
NAL, but that’s not how any of that works.
Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."
That is just 1 small reason why I say the damage done was already generational and like irrecoverable — and it keeps finder greater depths to sink.
$1B used to be roughly 540 average earning’s for an American. That makes $1T equivalent to 540,000 lifetimes of earnings (based on a much healthier economy with better earnings and employment).
That is how much debt they’ve added in under a year.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov : are you just another @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social or @booker.senate.gov and just about being performative? Where’s the leadership?
This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.
Isolating the US economically and politicallu was always part of the P2025 plan.
Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"
JFC @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social — you aren’t getting a pass on anything after needing this damn long for something so obvious.

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

You have to wonder when Fetterman decided to sell out.
Was it before he ran?

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom
