"The rulings against Trump’s IEEPA tariffs are a landmark victory for the plaintiffs and their lawyers, the U.S. economy, the Constitution and rule of law, and an American legal system in which a few Davids can still beat the Beltway Goliath." — Scott Lincicome, The Dispatch

⚡️Explosions rock Engels in Russia's Saratov Oblast amid reported drone attack. Governor Roman Busargin claimed a fire broke out at an unspecified "industrial enterprise" in Engels. The city is home to an oil refinery and the Engels-2 military airfield, both targets of previous Ukrainian strikes.

I don't think I'll ever be enough of an economist to understand this, but perhaps it tells us something about crypto's function in our economy: The TRUMP meme coin is down 10% on news of a best buddy breakup. (The US$ was unchanged by the news.)

Now we know the answer..

It took just 15 years to get from Citizens United to this

The stupidest timeline somehow keeps getting stupider.

the tech right suddenly discovers due process

Elon Musk is calling for Donald Trump to be impeached. Donald Trump is calling for Elon Musk to be deported. Both sides have a point.

Democrats — don’t even think about taking money from Elon Musk. It’s blood money.

Finally, a NYT headline I like.

If you’ve read or heard something like “Musk goes nuclear on Trump” you really have no idea how bad it really was. And in the long annals of Karma, no two men have deserved it more. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

The real lesson of the Elon and Trump fight is that no one individual should be allowed to become so powerful their petty feuds have global consequences.

Imagine how busy the SNL writing staff is tonight.

These two dudes fighting like teenage girls is cringe AF.

The straightest thing you can do as a man is to think a lot about two other guys' balls.

Keep your eye on Vance and Thiel.

This is the best day ever to be in a group chat with people who aren’t online. They react to every piece of breaking news about the beef like you’re Paul Revere.

The national security and cybersecurity impacts of this Trump-Musk fallout are out of this world. Musk and the DOGE boys have their tentacles all up in just about every system that supports US government function…

A fight in a madhouse about who is Napoleon...

A regime where a company's business prospects depend entirely on the favor of the government's chief executive has a name and it begins with S.

But only if they say "thank you".

NEW: Judge Buchwald issues a preliminary injunction preventing the govt from arresting Yunseo Chung, a Columbia student and legal permanent resident who came to the US as a child and who has been targeted for deportation by Marco Rubio. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yeah this'll end well

Today’s Trump-Musk tirades aren’t boosting the argument that women are too emotional for politics.

🧵 It’s been a dark evening here in Dublin with rain flying horizontal against my century old windows & strange creaks! I checked in & the world’s biggest sociopath is fighting the world’s biggest narcissist [or vice versa]. So it’s important to have art that is about important stuff [1]

Regardless of what’s happening between the pissbaby fascists the people who are arguing in favor of the opposition party coalescing with a nazi who killed 300,000 people by dismantling USAID among other crimes against humanity are as morally vacuous as it gets.

tbf that’s us everyday on here

If you only read one story today...lets face it, it probably won't be this one. But it should definitely be in your top 5.

Has Trump ever once said "Thank you" to Elon Musk for the money?

Honestly, on top of the political problem, if there are adults left in the White House -- BIG IF -- Elon's meltdown really does pose very complex NatSec issues.

babe nooooooo, not the Pentagon contracts. you said I could keep those. babe, c’mon :(((

If I were able to deliver a message to either of these guys, my message would be this: "You're going to let that other guy treat you like this? Make a public fool of you? After all you did for him? I thought you were a big shot. Act like a man!" That's should settle things down.

Three men sit in a cell in El Salvador. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned. He replies, "Because I criticized Elon Musk." The first man responds, "But I am here for praising Musk!" They ask the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back. He answers, "I AM Elon Musk".

This is all very simple. Let the world's two biggest babies fight and visibly construct and build a world without them. Anybody who tries to welcome Elon Musk, the world's most preeminent ratfucker, into their political party should be put in a dog crate until 2029.

I'd put this a bit more sharply than @steveinskeep.bsky.social probably can: Trump simply does not understand any boundary between himself and the government. He has no sense of the public interest and believes the government is an extension of himself personally. open.substack.com/pub/steveins...

Outting someone as a pedo hits different when you made them president for your own benefit

Somewhere out there a flat earther is looking at the news, stirring horse paste into his raw milk, and crying

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here

Steve Bannon is pushing for President Trump to use the Defense Production Act to seize control of SpaceX.

A 7-year-old boy was hit by a car and killed while walking 2 blocks to the store with his 10-year-old brother, an all-encompassing tragedy for this family. So what do the Gastonia, NC police do? They charge the parents with involuntary manslaughter for allowing the boys to walk by themselves.

Elon Musk can't afford to

⚡️Several explosions heard in Kyiv. A series of explosions were heard in the capital overnight on June 6. According to the Kyiv City Military Administration, air defense systems have been engaged in the city.
