The last time there was this much on-again off-again turmoil over tariffs in America, we revolted against the king over it — and won.

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Don’t you love it when big-brother-loving right wingers try to claim Orwell while they invade our bedrooms, stop us from voting, try to overturn elections, slash taxes on the rich exploding deficits, and use those deficits as excuse to cut programs millions rely on to cut more taxes for the rich?

There is no serious legal basis for the litigation challenging the Dem win for NC Supreme Court, and they are not following the proper procedure. This isn't a case of well it was close, a recount might still flip it. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's an attempt to steal the election.

The GOP is mounting the largest, most brazen post-election disenfranchisement effort since Trump's frivolous litigation in 2020. This time, however, they may get away with it and the legacy media is largely asleep. Follow @democracydocket.com to stay up to date.
