Whatever your views on trade, the idea that Trump needed to impose tariffs to address an “emergency” was always transparently ridiculous. He’s been unilaterally raising taxes on Americans based on his mood or who offends him.

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 they’d advise: -Seek a plea deal -Be willing to plead guilty to a lesser crime

Here's a happy-go-lucky đŸŽ¶ parody about the way that @robertkennedy is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard". It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

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
