Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

This kind, compassionate, devoted, imperfect man has given his entire heart and soul to the American people. He stepped up to the plate when our country most needed his leadership and served his nation with both grace and dignity. My thoughts are with him and his adoring family tonight. 💔

Rs Big Bad Bill passed in committee last night. According to Heather Cox Richardson, “while the tax cuts would go into effect immediately, the cuts to Medicaid are currently scheduled not to hit until 2029, enabling the Rs to avoid voter fury over them in the midterms and the 2028 election.”…1

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?
