Inflation is up as more tariffs hit.
Meanwhile, Trump is opening new golf courses, planning for a $200M White House ballroom, and diverting taxpayer dollars to renovate his "free" jet from Qatar.

🚨🚨 Wow. Trump just gave the middle finger to his own supporters.
Amid growing backlash over his decision to drag the U.S. into another Middle East war, Trump now says that “America First” means whatever he says it does—while falsely claiming he invented the term.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?
They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.
Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.

Law firms have to resist these unconstitutional and moronic executive orders
BREAKING: Federal judge rules that President Donald Trump's executive order targeting the Perkins Coie law firm — the first of several such orders — is unconstitutional and, accordingly, "null and void."
Background at Law Dork on the original TRO in the case: www.lawdork.com/p/perkins-co...
Background at Law Dork on the original TRO in the case: www.lawdork.com/p/perkins-co...
![IV. CONCLUSION
The U.S. Constitution affords critical protections against Executive action like that ordered
in EO 14230. Government officials, including the President, may not “subject[] individuals to
‘retaliatory actions’ after the fact for having engaged in protected speech.” Hous. Cmty. Coll. Sys.,
595 U.S. at 474 (quoting Nieves, 587 U.S. at 398). They may neither “use the power of the State
to punish or suppress disfavored expression,” Vullo, 602 U.S. at 188, nor engage in the use of
“purely personal and arbitrary power,” Yick Wo, 118 U.S. at 370. In this case, these and other
foundational protections were violated by EO 14230. On that basis, this Court has found that EO
14230 violates the Constitution and is thus null and void. For the reasons explained, plaintiff is
entitled to summary judgment and declaratory and permanent injunctive relief on Counts II
through IX of the Amended Complaint. The government’s motion to dismiss is denied.
An order consistent with this Memorandum Opinion will be entered contemporaneously.
Date: May 2, 2025

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024.
The program was supposed to be expanded, but now Trump is looking to gut it.
This is a huge handout to the tax prep industry that has lobbied for years to prevent free tax filing.
