The more the White House appears to align with the Kremlin - here, by the failure to publicly condemn Putin's threats - the less incentive there is for Ukraine and the US's former NATO allies to trust the US or to take its preferences into account on matters of their own security

JFC, I can't begin to imagine how horrified you all must be about all that's going on. I mean, I'm petrified at a distance - and I'm not even American!
I knew it was going to be bad but my God, he keeps finding and implementing new levels of cocksuckery and evil and revenge every, fucking, day...

for defying court orders or injunctions. If the megabill becomes law, with the provision intact, critics say it could limit federal courts’ ability to restrain some of Trump’s moves.
Analysts warn that Trump will likely take other avenues to impose tariffs.

for up to 150 days.
There’s also the chance that the Administration may simply ignore the ruling. A provision in the thousand-plus-page “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which passed in the House last week and is now before the Senate, would effectively restrict judges’ power to hold a litigant in contempt

Trump could still impose new “restricted” tariffs, the ruling noted, so long as they are “in response to ‘fundamental international payment problems’” which include substantial trade deficits under S. 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This authorizes the President to impose tariffs of as much as 15%

It's great news, obviously, but according to the cited article in Time we shouldn't get over-excited:
"Trump’s 25% steel, aluminum, and auto tariffs, however, were left in place, pending a Commerce Department investigation.
The ruling threatens to upend ongoing trade-deal negotiations, though

If you've ever said, "It won't be that bad" or "The courts will stop him,"
just know: this Bill makes it so they can't.
🚨 Share this. Speak up. Show up. Now. 🚨
Because if this Bill passes, there WILL. NOT. BE. any more votes or elections. EVER.

As expected:
Puppy killer and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem: “The Trump administration is considering extending the Harvard ban on international students to other universities.”
Fortress America. No foreigners allowed, especially not ones with critical thinking.

The cuts are horrific, but there's something really terrifying hidden in this bill!
They have included immunity for 🍊 and his minions from contempt of court rulings‼️
