SCOTUS is allowing Trump to fire (at least for now) the three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.

Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's unconstitutional?

BREAKING: Emails given to Congress by DOJ whistleblower reveal new details about the Abrego Garcia fiasco. They show how Trump officials searched for ways to paint him as a dangerous criminal and gang "leader" and couldn't find any. But smears continued.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

This is not mere rhetorical hyperbole either. Insinuating that teachers with politics the ADL opposes are affiliated with Hamas could easily be a way to open the door for the federal government to crack down on teachers further. This sort of rhetoric is really dangerous at this moment in history.

I should add that during the Biden administration, every nationwide injunction blocking White House policies was issued by a Republican-appointed judge. In contrast, the injunctions against the Trump administration have come from a bipartisan set of judges.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.

When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.

For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

Barack Hussein Obama’s grandfather fought for the Union while Trumps family was still in Bavaria
JD Vance imagines someone who

- has ancestors that fought in the Civil War
- has been labeled by the ADL as an extremist

“I think the people whose ancestors fought in the Civil War have a hell of a lot more claim over America than the people who say they don’t belong."

A lot going on there.

Congress must sue. This is an unconstitutional exercise of power. No emergency or national security rationale.
We are in new territory with Trump’s latest trade letter, threatening a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil starting Aug. 1
—The US runs a rare trade surplus with Brazil, so there’s no deficit to fix
—Trump says these duties are explicitly over political concerns, not economic ones

SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS -
Your benefits ARE still taxed. All the bill does is give you a higher senior standard deduction rate for 3 years for purposes of filing your tax return. It ends in 2028.
Read the bill. It does NOT eliminate taxes on your Social Security.
