The job market “is struggling, and the broader economy is fragile, in big part due to U.S. tariffs .. the fastest way to boost the job market would be for the Supreme Court to declare the reciprocal tariffs unlawful and for lawmakers to let them become a thing of the past.”

Donald Trump has done everything in 10 years to weaken the United States domestically and globally and to strengthen China and Russia.
Blowing up NATO, the trade wars, unleashing ICE on US communities, and inciting an insurrection.
This makes America worse.
All for white power and greed.

In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.”

I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump
Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY
And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇
