So, Trump wants to impose 25% tariffs on all imported cars. So what does that mean? Cars made by manufacturers headquartered in the U.S. (even if they are largely manufactured out of the country)? Cars made of parts primarily manufactured in the US (even if they have a foreign brand name)?

A Tufts University student and a Fulbright scholar, Runeysa Ozturk, was snatched off of the streets by masked agents for criticizing U.S. foreign policy. Why are these cowards hiding their faces? I thought MAGA has effectively banished masks? Unreal.

In some respects, the fact that the Trump admin is focusing so much on the legal community is a sign of weakness. Rather than cowering, the legal community should recognize the admin’s weaknesses & fight back—forcefully & collectively. Our piece explains how: www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/lawyers-ne...

We know cutting Medicaid means more people will get sick and die Perversely, it would also likely create more crime But the GOP wants to do it anyway-to pay for tax cuts “In 2005, Tennessee dropped nearly 200,000 people from.. Medicaid..By 2007..crime [rose] by about seven percent” Save Medicaid

Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race? It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps. Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court. Follow the money.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does not stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the defendants are subject to the court order, not where the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.
