"There was a time when I would have cautioned against using a word like 'genocide' too freely, worried about diluting its meaning," Shadi Hamid writes. "But we are well past that now." wapo.st/3Spw7tB

We don’t care if you’re the Governor of Narnia or the harbinger of Doom, you are still welcome to tour our facilities of Ice without fear of arrest.

It was not a bribe. It was simply a squid pro quo type of deal.

Our Head of State was planning to visit the White House for trade discussions, however we have been informed the “White House” will only discuss trade with our white animals. Our biracial Penguin leader will be allowed, but will be publicly lectured on racism instead. We will wait 4 years to visit.

We don’t understand why multiple Government leaders are sending us photos of fish TACOs, but we love the enthusiasm! Keep calm and Taco on!

As relevant now as it was 250 years ago: "Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. . . On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves." Joseph Warren, 1775

🚨BREAKING: In a devastating loss for Trump, a federal court has just invalidated his tariffs, ruling that he lacked the authority to impose them unilaterally without congressional approval. So. Much. Winning.

Trump really hated that TACO question 🤣

He's insane

A special poem for #TACOTrump: 🌮

Trump is literally trying to centrally plan the American economy. I always thought Republicans were against that sort of thing.

US Court of International Trade has issued unanimous ruling in case against Trump “liberation day” tariffs ruling also covers case filed by 12 states led by Oregon All tariffs invalidated as beyond scope of executive power; implementation blocked by permanent injunction, per @ilyasomin.bsky.social

Long arc

The court ruling against many of Trump's tariffs today would lower US overall tariff rates by roughly 10%, only leaving the tariffs on cars, steel, & aluminum If it holds (a very big if) tariffs would drop to the lowest rate since March & importers would get retroactive relief

Headline kinda misses the mark, imo

Alright time to cast aspersions: Congress could have stopped the IEEPA tariffs whenever they wanted by revoking the national emergencies that enabled the tariffs but they didn't because they're not an independent branch anymore. That fundamental problem is still with us.

I'm giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend. I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump's proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids. We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn't it.
