This is important! But I’m not giving SCOTUS any credit until it gives this teeth. bsky.app/profile/reic...
IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process.
They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.

They did it. They terminated my NEH grant. Their letter went to my junk mail. This is an active grant that would have finished on June 30.
“Your grant’s immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government”
They are so afraid of us.

Tariffs are taxes. Consumers pay those taxes, and they are regressive—meaning they hit low and middle income people harder than high income people.
Coupled with Trump's tax cuts for the rich, this will be the largest transfer of wealth from the working and middle class to the wealthy in history.
