Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.
New: Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that the US will strike a trade deal with the UK, according to a person familiar with the matter, the first agreement for the administration since it imposed sweeping tariffs against its trading partners last month @theguardian.com story TK

Breaking "the government" and replacing the "deep state" civil servants with AI bots programmed by 20-something right wing Elon fanboys may sound like a great idea until it's time to eat an egg or a chicken sandwich without fear of getting sick, or deal with a hurricane or get on an airplane.

"Despite his desire for essentially unilateral authority, he is a spectator to his own presidency the second something goes wrong," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump's response to the deadly plane crash on the Potomac River.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on California: We have fire crews in the danger zones. The Canadian military is now on full alert to help. That’s what we do—we help our neighbors in times of crisis.
The fact that Trump isn’t there.. is shocking but this is what criminal grifters do.

To those who either voted for Trump or “didn’t vote at all/not for Harris” are you listening? Is your head back in the sand? Can you stand to see the result of your choices? Do you hear the calls to “weaponize” our gov’t agencies against who’s seen as an “enemy?” Cowards turn their backs on reality.

Ben Stein was a traditional Republican who understood how economies work.
Trump’s Republican Party has no friggin clue.
We need to collectively stop the reflexive statements that Republicans are better for the economy. That is lazy and a lie.
#Trumponomics are terrible for America.

Trump’s presidency should not mean that all cases should simply disappear. Four-year hiatus may be necessary, but presidents are not above the law, at least for conduct outside of official duties.

He should & likely will rule Trump NOT immune.
