This means Trump is now underwater on his handling of nearly all of his core issues: -inflation -immigration -tariffs -protests At what point will politics on these things turn enough that other Republican politicians start to criticize his approach?

We're now exactly halfway through the 90-day pause on April 2nd tariffs, and the only "deal" the Trump administration has done is slightly lowering the tariffs on British Aston Martins. Meanwhile, we're starting 50% tariff on the EU in a week. This whole thing has been a disaster

The real problem with the Supreme Court’s expected Fed carve out is not that it lacks a principle but that the real principle isn’t articulated. The reason it will carve out the Fed is functional but it won’t say that. And its jurisprudence doesn’t leave room to ventilate the functional arg.(1/8)

Georgia high school production of "The Crucible" is canceled after parent complaints that it "was demonic and disgusting." @hesherman.bsky.social: "the play about witch hunts, about the persecution of people out of hysteria...had provoked the same moral persecution it portrayed as unjust."

So the event was held at a Jewish Museum, was intended for Jewish Attendees (not Israelis), and was led by an interfaith coalition supporting refugees (including in Gaza). This was unquestionably an antisemitic hate crime.
