Mike Pence: I don't believe the Constitution affords the President the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs on friend and foe, and I hope the Supreme Court turns that around.
Ultimately, American businesses and American consumers pay the tariffs.

The press lost its shit for weeks at the mere thought of referring to Trump and his political movement as "fascist."
Republicans meanwhile use every -ist epithet they can muster against Democrats of any stripe and the press doesn't say a word.

Good. Seriously. Please let Trump pick every SEC coach. Let him make every decision for the entire conference. The only way we'll ever break Trump fever in that part of America is to let him get involved with their college football decisions because they care deeply about that shit

So, while the governments shut down, you can’t get flood insurance through the national flood insurance plan. So it looked for a while like the house closing might grind to a halt

Obligatory new bike day photo. First new bike in 10 years. Fuji warranty replaced my Cross 1.7 frame from 2016 for metal fatigue with their top aluminum cx/gravel/adventure frame, the Jari 1.1. All my existing components except new front derailed. Fast comfortable and quiet

The questions it raises are all specifically premised on the clear and immutable fact, not present at all in this framing, that this "move" is illegal, is not legal, is criminal, is a crime.
The Pentagon accepted a $130 million anonymous donation to pay active-duty troops during the government shutdown, a move that raises questions about private funding.
The contribution will only cover a small amount of the funds needed to pay the troops.

The amount is less than a day’s worth of salaries. Fiscal policy experts say the move also raises legal questions.
