This is blatantly unconstitutional and why no Democrat should ever hedge on "well tariffs..."

The President does not have the authority to impose taxes nor does he have the authority to distribute unconstitutionally collected revenue from those taxes.

Somehow it's only "demonizing half of the country" when Democrats mildly criticize Trump supporters. This just doesn't count

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

The header of the appeals court decision:

NUMBER 13-25-00005-CV

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

The conclusion of the appeals court decision, which states: The trial court's judgment is reversed. We remand the cause to the trial court with

instructions to (1) grant appellants' TCPA motion to dismiss, (2) award court costs and reasonable attorney's fees to appellants in accordance with the statute, (3) consider whether to assess sanctions against Haas in accordance with the statute. See TEX. Civ. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 27.009(a).

Yup. Notably, neither Tom Homan nor anybody else in the Trump admin has outright denied that he took and kept the $50,000 in taxpayer money given to him by the FBI in their bribery scheme.

Every time they’re asked, they either pivot or attack the questioner. But they don’t deny it.

Adam Klasfeld @klasfeldreports.com · 4h

To @DaveWeigel.bsky.social’s point, it’s never once been “no,” and everyone in Trump’s government is refusing to answer what happened to the $50,000 in taxpayer money that Homan never denied taking inside a paper bag.

Second graf in this article gives us more accurate reasons for why public transit isn't a preferable choice: service areas are smaller, less stops along routes, US spends far more money and time than other countries to build it. But sure, fear of crime is the issue. [2/3]

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 5h

Some dismiss concerns about subway crime as baseless, the result of insufficiently hardened attitudes toward life in the “big city," Charles Fain Lehman writes. But if policy makers ignore people’s fears, they'll miss a chance to make transit better:

The Other Reason Americans Don’t Use Mass Transit

People will take buses and trains only if they feel safe while riding them.
