So... Companies big enough to afford lawyers will sue, they'll get money back, post record profits, pay bonuses to their c-suites, and consumers will get... f*cked?
(Bloomberg) - Costco Wholesale Corp. joined a fast-growing list of businesses suing the Trump administration to ensure eligibility for refunds if the US Supreme Court strikes down the president’s signature global tariffs policy.

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Trump rages and says inflation "costs under the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION are tumbling down." It's as if he's trying to validate @crampell.bsky.social's argument. www.thebulwark.com/p/affordabil...

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

I really, truly hope that over the next week the Dems get their shit together, all get on the same page, and just keep repeating that American families are starving to protect the Epstein client list. Over, and over, and over again. Every interview, every broadcast. Starving people to protect pedos.

We should not be surprised that violent criminals who ultimately faced no consequences are continuing to be violent criminals.
My latest column broke a little news. There are far more Jan. 6 pardon recipients back in trouble with the law than we knew. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics had reported 10 as of June. A more accurate number is ... more than 30.

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.
