The Supreme Court granted an unusually quick hearing on President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Tuesday, putting a policy at the center of his economic agenda squarely before the nation’s highest court. https://to.pbs.org/4phoG6O
Supreme Court grants unusually quick hearing on whether Trump has power to impose sweeping tariffs
The tariffs will remain in place in the lead-up to arguments set for November, a lightning-fast timetable by the Supreme Court's typical standards.

Just a reminder: Congress could reverse these insane tariffs TODAY.
Republicans are just choosing not to.
Every Republican in Congress who refuses to do something is endorsing Trump's tax hike on YOU.

Republicans' billionaire tax cuts would cost more than 4 major pieces of recent federal legislation *combined*—AND it would be bigger than programs like Medicare Part D & ACA subsidies that millions of people rely on.
The GOP is essentially creating a social safety net for BILLIONAIRES.

I’m supporting State Senator Marcus Riccelli and Representative April Berg’s legislation to pass free school meals for all Washingtonians.
Right now, the child of a single parent working 40 hrs/week making $19 an hour does not qualify for free school meals. That must change.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them
