The trader guys woke up this morning in the same clothes as last night, covered in margarita stains and their own vomit.
Then the realisation hit. A 125% tariff on China and 10% tariff on 200 other countries isn’t a “pause on tariffs”.

The hubris here is just incredible.
A federal judge DENIED the Trump admin's bid to vacate a 5 p.m. hearing probing whether they violated his order to turn back the flights to El Salvador.
Trump DOJ's top ranks claimed no hearing was necessary because they denied a violation.

It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

this is an important constraint. trump&co may not care about what happens to them legally. but a career civil servant at doj is going to want to preserve their bar license.
4/ One other mediating factor is that judges can sanction lawyers/refer them for bar discipline. So if Trump admin ignores court orders, they start running out of lawyers in good standing—even lawyers who share the admin’s ideology—willing to put their names on things in court.
