the best case scenario is the tariffs get struck down and trump demands they nuke the filibuster so they can add a unilateral delegation of tariff authority to the president

There was also the story today that companies are literally signing up to sue the government for their money back the -second- tarriffs go down, so early next year is going to be -hilarious-

Congrats. Now go do it for the people. That’s what the billionaire class is really worried about - you taking away their power and giving it back to the people.

The Supreme Court justices have squirmed to avoid directly ruling on Trump’s epic power grabs. In considering the president's tariffs, they'll have no choice but to act in public. bit.ly/4qGlrqf

Trump's Tariffs Are Illegal

Will the Supreme Court finally stand up to the president?

The modern credit system is one of the primary ways banks earn money. They also earn further profits by placing interests on debts or loans. Banks further make money through standard fee, markups, and other value-added service fees.

Gavin Newsom: Trump is a historic president. He's the most historically unpopular president in modern history. In every critical category, Trump is under water. He promised to make us healthier. He promised to make us wealthier. We're sicker and poorer.

This wilful ignorance on the Republicans part about their obligation to maintain SNAP benefits during government shutdowns has a new psychological term to describe it.

This Psychological Term Explains How GOP Officials Justify Harm

This concept helps potentially shed light on the justification for limiting food assistance, among other events.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

This reminds me of Rudy Giuliani describing the guy who patted him on the back once at Shop Rite years ago as a brutal attack that felt like he had been shot.

To mark the passing of former shadow US President Dick #Cheney today, this banger from @mluckovich.bsky.social of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

An editorial cartoon divided into two panels. On the left, a couple watching tv news; the wife asks out loud "Dick Cheney's been compared to Darth Vader. I wonder how he feels about that..." On the right stands Darth Vader, dark lord of the Sith. "I'm hurt" he replies.

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.

Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests

Researchers attempt to calculate the number of deaths attributable to the war on terrorism, across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Gavin Newsom dropped the mic with his closing speech for Prop 50. 🔥 California—this is your chance to fight back, protect democracy, and stop Trump and the cheating Republicans in their tracks.

Voters are turning frustration into fuel. One election official says turnout today is even higher than this time in a presidential election — proof that people are fired up and ready to push back on Trump’s agenda. Democracy is not backing down. 🗳️ #VoteDemToday

For those recasting their feelings on Dick Cheney because of his about turn on Trump, don’t bother to shed any tears. The unitary president and the elimination of guardrails on the former vice-president’s watch created the Frankenstein presidency that we are all suffering through.

The former vice president did everything he could to expand presidential power. The current president is taking advantage
