What a dumb framing of a federal court declaring Trump's obviously illegal tariffs illegal — positioning *Trump* as the source of stability and obeying the law as the agent of chaos that could screw things up!

They either think we really are that stupid or have no other choice. 🤷🏻♂️
I honestly can’t believe that in real time we’re watching a besieged Trump send his fmr personal atty & Deputy AG to talk in secret w/convicted sex trafficker, abuse, & partner to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and is clearly heading towards pardoning her in exchange for exonerating him.

This is, to me, the defining dyamic of everything the last six months. Any game theory notion of deterrence or the shoe being on the other foot ever is entirely gone. Either 1) They don't think they'll ever lose power again or 2) they're confident Democrats won't ever do the same things back to them
Budget agreements won’t matter, funding obligations won’t matter, expended funds on the basis of promised reimbursement won’t matter.
You really don’t get the impression the GOP is thinking through what this means for the second they’re not in control.

“We don’t have an appropriations process. It’s broken. It’s been broken for a while,” said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee.
He predicted that there will be CRs and rescission packages for the next four years.

The administration is telling us that tariffs are the tool to a winning economy. And I’m saying, innovation is the tool!
I want to innovate my way to that future, instead of berating the American consumer who has to pay the price for this policy.

So the top vaccine official at FDA was pushed out, and the CDC buried an assessment that emphasized the need for vaccines to stop measles.
Here's what I said on the Senate floor just ahead of RFK Jr.'s confirmation vote. No Senator should pretend they didn't see this coming.

Just remember: It'll be the biggest peacetime tax increase ever, and he's demanding tax giveaways for billionaires while he forces prices up for YOU.

A woman told Van Buren Township police a co-worker attacked her. But federal immigration officials also learned about her; they plan to deport her.

🚨 In case you missed it: Republicans voted to allow banks to charge you MORE if you overdraft on your account—repealing a rule that capped fees at $5. Just another way Republicans are actively trying to screw over working people & hope you don’t notice.

This is *extremely* alarming — White House fires a career federal prosecutor because he (1) went after a politically connected businessman and (2) criticized Trump during a 2020 congressional bid.

![Though U.S. attorneys are political appointees who often ally with the agenda of the current presidential administration, line prosecutors like Schleifer are normally considered career employees. But since taking office, the Trump administration has made a point to drive those seen as political enemies from all levels of the federal government.
"This is the most overtly political firing I've seen in my time at the Department of Justice," said Palmer, the former federal prosecutor. "I could absolutely see it having kind of a chilling effect. I also think current prosecutors are concerned about the ability to have free speech. An AUSA [assistant U.S. attorney] who I spoke to said they are concerned that the only people who will be allowed to stay are Republicans or very quiet Democrats."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wufsdxzvzx36d7wppganbvpw/bafkreidwoty6rsibzeinn72q7r3h76kazos766qlxl5bvhaiejvwwaid6m@jpeg)
