Supreme Court rules that Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal | CNN Politics

Reply in thread

There's always the chance Costco gives its customers something. They have records of everything purchased by members. Every other company, I wouldn't hold my breath. These tariffs have cost companies a lot in paperwork as well.

Maybe commercial clients who have bought something really substantial will get something refunded.

That's all if Trump's government complies, which he's previously said it wouldn't. He'll make another excuse or appeal it until he's gone, making it someone else's problem.

Trump has a plan to steal the midterms. It will probably fail. The nightmare scenario for American democracy is no longer unthinkable.

Trump will be trying to steal the election in lots of different ways simultaneously. This article doesn't even get to the ID law he's trying to pass, where your birth certificate must match your current ID, or you have to also supply all intervening name changes (such as through marriage and divorce).

Also, trump is using facial recognition software and other data that will allow them to pull non-trumpy voters out of the lineup for additional time-consuming harassment over their ID. Voting times may be cut off.

A Refugee Died After Border Patrol Left Him at a Cafe. Fear Followed.

I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt anymore. If the restaurant is closed they did NOT drop him at the restaurant.

And he was blind. He had been beaten up and they took the curtain rod he was using as a cane.

This is a pattern for ICE. In Minnesota they are finding people left in the cold without proper garments and citizens comb the woods looking for victims.

IDF 'flattens' Iran Assembly of Experts meeting | The Jerusalem Post

Trump wants to put a puppet or quasi-puppet in place as happened in Venezuela, where the vice-president Delcy Rodriguez was allowed to keep power apparently in exchange for accepting that the Americans will seize oil tankers and give back only a share of the revenue.

No benefit or regime change for the people of Venezuela. Iran stops threatening Israel and probably the US gets some oil revenue.

Trump repeats what works for him.
