I'm a Texan. Both Texas and SF feel like home. My superpower is I see so many awesome people, and I do my best to call them out. Mr. Rogers is my hero. And Ted Lasso. I also like programming, working on the news, and macroeconomics. He/him

How can SCOTUS give such a ruling that leaves such a clear backdoor for the administration to just ignore the court order? Oh yeah, unfettered exec power. I know, I know. Call my reps. At least Cornyn is laying into Paxton. Maybe I can get him to do something if I use my best accent.

One country has living citizens who survived starvation. They are about as hard as they come. And a leader who can ignore them. The other hasn't faced real hardship in over 80 years. And leaders who will stop ignoring us the louder we get. The trade war can help us get rid of this administration.
