Whatever your views on trade, the idea that Trump needed to impose tariffs to address an âemergencyâ was always transparently ridiculous. Heâs been unilaterally raising taxes on Americans based on his mood or who offends him.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has struck down President Trump's tariff authority, saying his claim of emergency authority to issue sweeping tariffs to America's trading partners was unlawful. https://t.co/Hmmh0kVXOi

This is a great interview, recommend watching the whole thing. Stella Carlson is a tremendous example of how one person can make a difference.
CNNâs Anderson Cooper speaks to a woman who recorded the fatal encounter between Alex Pretti and federal officers. She describes in detail Prettiâs final moments.

This guy is an attorney who knows the law. His summary makes a lot of sense. ICE agents aren't cops and have limited authority to arrest citizens. ICE agents screwed up the moment they told her to get out of her car, and it was made worse when he drew his gun instead of getting
Spoke on background with two attorneys who have defended officer involved shootings. Both have always taken their cases to trial. After reviewing the events today, both said if it were their client theyâd advise: -Seek a plea deal -Be willing to plead guilty to a lesser crime

Very clever and funny as hell, a pity people will die.

@dieworkwear The drive to outsource manufacturing came from people's willingness to pay as least as possible for the lowest passable quality. The drive to the bottom.

Vanessa spent a full day with Kaussof. It looked more like torture than the best tournament in poker. The guy is good TV, but for $10,000 the player deserve a fun experience.
I get why people enjoy watching him, he makes for good TV and everyone loves to hate a good villain, which he is happy to be. But also, the integrity of the game is completely shot when it's not reigned in. It is extremely difficult to play with him at your table for 10+ hours
