Instead, a long-term litigation strategy using the First Amendment of the United States Constitution as a deregulatory cudgel has decimated reasonable limits enacted by Congress and curtailed even disclosure of some political activity. /3

The collapse of campaign finance regulation in US has facilitated a path toward oligarchic power redistribution. Americans did not adopt the current set of rules favoring influence of ultrarich over who is elected and what candidates do once in office through democratically-promulgated legislation.

Douchey: Does President Trump think that he deserves credit for the beautiful sun successfully rising every day?
Leftit: Hey, all I will say is that the sun has been coming up every single day since the president was inaugurated. I think the facts speak for themselves on that one, Peepee.

9/ imports summer regardless of what happens now.

8/ being abandoned in ports. Also when there’s no product you start laying off truckers or independents do something else. So when the product comes back on line the system to move the product out of port doesn’t come back immediately. The upshot is that we’ve already locked in a long hot …

7/ called everything off you’d still have a significant period of shortages locked in. And obviously that’s not going to happen. We will also almost certainly see a limited version of the supply chain snarls we say during the pandemic. There are reports of some containers simply sitting or …

3/ tariffs. So it’s actually higher than usual because of that. But in the first and second week of May it drops off dramatically. I’ve heard the drop off described in different ways. But the most optimistic seems to be a reduction in imports of about 50% or a bit less. Ships to the west coast go…

2/ for every one at sea, when it left China, the US port it’s traveling to etc. I’m doing this from memory so the rough dates may be a few days off. But this last week we were still in a surge of week over week and year over year shipping as shippers and buyers tried to get out ahead of the …

"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans:
