Military roaming the streets, multiple political assassinations, Israel still at war, Poland attacked, Ukraine still at war, regular school shootings, ICE raids, tariffs, postal service to America suspended, boycotts of American goods. Is literally anything better?

The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years

That's not good news

Tariffs are taxes on Americans

That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

I know I’m the millionth person to say it but it’s incredible that these useless turds will mobilize for an all-out PR assault on a socialist in their own party but they won’t speak above a whisper in support of constituents and their families who are being disappeared by the secret police

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
