So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.
Sorry, *was.

Does everyone understand that this would END 80 years of US world leadership, topple international stability, and make NUCLEAR WAR way more likely?
Greenland is part of Denmark. Attacking Denmark would make all of NATO our ENEMY.

Sorry, liberals, the United States is not an oligarchic democracy, it’s an oligarchic republic.

The disconnect has always been the Right’s applying “Left-wing” to any statement of truth that undermines their goals. No deep insight here, but still eternally frustrating.

And, as you know, the last day in which the Court had a Chief Justice who had been appointed by a Democrat was September 8, 1953.
Nearly 90% of today's US population has never lived under a Dem-appointed chief justice.
(This replaces previous major-typo brain-fog version.)

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Trump says he'll offset the tariff price increases by lowering taxes.
But we all know he'll lower taxes more for the rich. The thing is, tariffs are essentially a consumption tax and are paid by WORKING PEOPLE buying goods.
So…when the dust settles on all this, guess who will suffer most?

CONGRESS...DO YOUR FUCKING JOB AND CHECK THIS ASSHOLE.
The US Constitution gives Congress the sole power to impose tariffs.
Trump is using the National Emergencies Act (and the IEEPA) to bypass Congress to levy tariffs.
All Congress has to do is pass a bill denying this explicit emergency power to levy tariffs to Trump and all of this goes away.

Now. They’ve voted SAVE act (it doesn’t), and the voted to allow Trump to deport AMERICANCITIZENS, without due process. Stop yapping about bipartisanship.
the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen
All but three House Republicans just voted for Trump's tariffs. The procedural measure, which preemptively surrenders congressional power to stop Trump's tariffs, passed with all Democrats voting no. This was the vote count:

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer*
i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate.
“kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

NEW: The Trump administration deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen on Friday.
Hours later, a conservative judge who tried to intervene warned of his "strong suspicion" that the administration "just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process."

It's a big ? whether America will actually continue to do science at all, much less space science (as opposed to simply space exploitation), far much less extremely expensive space science projects like Mars sample return. But we should. We should be doing ALL the science. Because humanity benefits.
