Big surprise in VanDerStok isn't the outcome but the margin: Gorsuch and Kavanaugh flipped from an earlier vote, dealing a 7–2 blow to ghost gun companies. On top of that, Gorsuch's majority opinion leaves little room for the Trump administration to bail out the industry: slate.com/news-and-pol...

We thank everyone for supporting the boycott of American products. But please buy Lays chips. There are 1200 union members with the Steelworkers at the plant in Cambridge and they need your support. Boycott American plants but support the jobs here in Canada. #elbowsup

This is how you shut down MAGA! WATCH: Congresswoman Strickland coming in HOT with the facts! 🔥 "Why won't Donald Trump deliver on his promises? Because he lies, that's why." Republican cuts hurt veterans, women, and children ... basically anyone who is not extremely wealthy.
