So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Sure, every once in a blue you gotta call Als for sedation, but those are the exception, not the rule.
Most of the time it’s just verbal de-escalation.

Take a moment to consider the 250 million people who have been forcibly displaced by climate disasters over the past 10 years…70,000 per day, on average.
If you aren’t one of these unfortunate people, I invite you to consider what you can do to help one or more of them. They need us.
