Good morning. A reminder that historically when the US has wanted to punish other countries, it imposed sanctions on them, cutting their people off from global trade, hoping to create enough economic havoc that they rein in their leaders. Trump has imposed economic sanctions on the American people.

Right-wingers from the fringe to Fox News are rolling out a new argument in favor of Trump’s tariffs—they will help boost America’s masculinity by promoting the sort of backbreaking blue-collar work that their fathers and grandfathers did.

The new Supreme Court decision is a total DEFEAT of the Trump position that due process is not required or does not require a hearing before deportation. The unanimous Court says a pre-deprivation hearing IS required. That's the story, period, as the strategy was not to accord people a hearing.

NEW: 4th Circuit says return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. by midnight bc the Govt has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the U.S. and remove him w/o due process. The Govt’s contention otherwise & its argument that fed courts are powerless to intervene are unconscionable.

Newsom: He took water that was set aside for this summer from one part of Central Valley and dumped it into another part—without telling them.. They had to turn off the pump because it was starting to impact the levees. None of it went to Southern California.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

Make no mistake, consumers will pay the price for high tariffs. The Administration has yet to take a single action to lower costs on basic needs, and now we'll only see them rise. This trade war is reckless & hurts hardworking families the most.
