This really is Liberation Day: The U.S. Court of International Trade this afternoon struck down Trump’s mass tariffs as unlawful. It’s a fantastic win for the rule of law, human freedom, and prosperity, and a deserved rebuke for arbitrary one-man rule over our livelihoods. /1

H.B. 5002 just passed the House after over 11 hours of debate! From Work Live Ride, the biggest parking reform east of the Rockies, to fair share, commercial conversions, public housing, and homelessness reforms, this is a significant step forward. On to the Senate! 🏘️🚉
