Husband, father of 3 girls in their 20s, and a reporter-turned-attorney. I post about breaking news, politics, the media, and my life in Pittsburgh (especially running, my family, and my work as a civil litigator).
I am truly alarmed by the news everyday concerning King Trump's assault on our democracy.
It really got to me today when I read about JD Vance's radio show from the White House. Trumpers are going full steam ahead using Charlie Kirk's death to justify targeting liberal groups...

Good news for those of us who care about King Trump breaking the law. I am thankful for any court rulings that limit Trump's power. We will see what the Supreme Court does. It seems clear that there is no legal basis for Trump to be imposing tariffs.

Let's not forget that Cassidy, a doctor, voted for RFK Jr. in the first place. He wanted to give this well-known anti-vaxxer kook a chance. Republicans could have prevented the current destruction of the CDC.
