This really is Liberation Day: The U.S. Court of International Trade this afternoon struck down Trump’s mass tariffs as unlawful. It’s a fantastic win for the rule of law, human freedom, and prosperity, and a deserved rebuke for arbitrary one-man rule over our livelihoods. /1

www.npr.org/2025/05/28/n... I keep saying this over and over again, but curbing legal immigration is how politicians signal how tough they are on immigration - even though it has the net opposite effect and results in even more off the books entries and overstays on easier to secure visas.

Donald Trump is a deranged lunatic who wouldn’t be allowed to manage a Wendy’s. But I guess we all have to pretend like this is normal and not 25th amendment behavior. People who treat this as acceptable are the insane ones.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I don’t know, man, maybe it’s all the amplifying of Nazis on you platform, the stiff-arm salutes, the joking about Nazis, the cozying up to Germany’s far-right, your family’s history of supporting apartheid, the support for eugenics, the Nazi font hats, and, you know, the whole movement you’re in.

Do you realize how much air comes into the United States for free? That’s a tariff. From now on, only homegrown air. If it’s good enough for an American to breathe out, it’s good enough for an American to breathe in.

This gets papered over as old man yelling at clouds but this is impeachable by itself. Greenland is our ally which has allowed a continual U.S. military presence since WWII, including a vital part of our missile defense and space surveillance. Threatening them is unacceptable.

They keep willfully misunderstanding the issue to confuse good people. Trans people don’t think this series will be loaded with JKR’s bigotry. We KNOW the money from this series will be funneled by JKR directly into attacking the trans community in the media and courts.

Sometimes people show you how you want to go out one day, when you didn't even know you had a preference. This is it. Riding a verbal missile into your corporate owners' office with both middle fingers up firing shots from them like a cowboy riding into town in Gunsmoke.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Pangolins have two claims to fame: first, that they are the world’s only scaly mammal, and second, they are one of the most trafficked animals globally. Beyond that, most people know little about them. But the new Netflix documentary “Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey,” hopes to change that. cnn.it/3EDMK1l
