The Court of International Trade panel that unanimously struck down Trump's "Liberation Day" and other IEEPA tariffs included a Reagan, Obama, and Trump appointee. Credit to all for defending the rule of law. Perhaps Congress could come out of hiding and do its part to help in this good cause?

To be clear: CBS offered to pay 15 million to Trump for editing an interview with his opponent in a way that he didn’t like. The world has gone mad. (Also, shouldn’t Harris now sue Fox for their editing of Trump interviews that she didn’t like??)

The most important attribute of any commencement speech is that it be SHORT. Eg: George Marshall's at Harvard in 1947, laying out what became Marshall Plan plus groundwork for his Nobel prize, was 10 minutes long. Also: Never WEAR A HAT. Unless it's one of those academic weird ones. Not MAGA cap.
