Your average person doesn’t read Supreme Court (or any court) decisions. And the ones who do are typically other lawyers, who will parse the text very carefully. So who, exactly, is Alito trying to fool with his misleading dissent? Is it supposed to be fodder for Fox News? For Martha? Self-delusion?

The fact that the Court took the case is what's so worrying. Trump floats nutty stuff, a court slaps him down, and SCOTUS says "Gosh, important point here, we better look into it," as if there is a serious, non-crazy answer.

Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay. onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...

I will block any arms sale to a nation that is doing direct personal business with Trump. We should have a full Senate debate and vote. UAE's investment in Trump crypto and Qatar's gifting of a plane is nuclear grade graft. An unacceptable corruption of our foreign policy.

Excellent NYT graphic. In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China: -- doubled; -- went up ≈ 2.5X from there; -- roughly doubled again; -- went up ≈ 40% from there; -- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February. www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

I do hope the business community takes note of the fact that while Trump is wrecking their supply chain with tariffs, he thinks he’s free import a foreign jet for free. Buy American? Lolz He’s grounding Air Force One for his Qatari air palace. It’s all revolting autocratic corruption.
