BULLSHIT! The federal appellate court did not validate the use of tariffs or rule on the merits of the lawsuit to challenge them. It granted a stay of the lower court ruling while the appeal is heard.

Trump promised to get prices down on day one of his presidency. I'm holding him to that claim. For month 5 prices for basic grocery items have increased 3.4% overall since Biden's last month as president. I've brought receipts via FRED - Federal Reserve Economic Data.

We're expanding reproductive rights. We're erasing medical debt. We're making going to college in-state easier than ever before. We’re investing in shovel-ready sites for new homes and businesses. And we're lifting the burdens Illinoisans face because it's the right thing to do.

We can't predict how the Marines in LA will act. Too many unknowns—chain of command, internal loyalties, and how deep Trump’s influence runs. We don’t know how many follow him, or how far they're willing to go. Uncertainty is the danger. If he convinces them these people are the "enemy,"...not good.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

Wahls: During the nomination fight with Hegseth, she expressed some reservations that turned out to be very well-founded—but Joni didn’t do the right thing. She said back in 2014 that she’d go to Washington and “make ’em squeal.” I’d say Joni Ernst is all squeal, no bacon.

Do you remember What’s the Matter with Kansas? It argued that white working class people vote for culture war stuff against their economic interests. That work was based on the flawed assumption that voters know they do that. They don’t know and won’t unless we tell them.

Trump says L.A. is “burning”? Tell that to the families displaced by the January fires families he’s done NOTHING to help. Instead of going after violent criminals, he deported a 4-year-old cancer patient, detained a U.S. Marshal, and spent $134M on a political stunt. Californians aren’t buying it.

Farms in Florida are facing sudden labor shortages from both detentions and fear-related absences of undocumented farmworkers. This is leading to harvest losses due to agricultural produce going unpicked. In addition, local businesses tied to the farm industry are suffering from reduced activity.

Trump isn't sending 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to protect Californians. He's doing it to scare them, to stoke fear, and to provoke confrontation. This is yet another authoritarian power play to terrorize immigrants and intimidate anyone who stands in Trump's way.
