Pay to play?

It shouldn't be like this. I can't believe I have to say that.

OK bluesky universe:

Peekaboo!

where are my US-based small business owners? I've got something for you, but don't know where you are.

(or maybe it's hide and seek. whatever. HMU)

Hey Small Business Owners:

Who's a business owner you admire - someone in the public eye, who's had success, someone with integrity?

We need advisors for Integrity Matters, the leaders who stand up for the rules of free enterprise. Big businesses are AWFULLY QUIET.

So - who do you admire?

SCOTUS will give 47 a wide berth so he can keep his tariffs/personal agenda, rather than setting up a separations of powers showdown.

So what's a small business owner stuck with tariff chaos to do?

Organize. The tariff power belongs to Congress, and Congress can take it back. Join us.
By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority.

The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:

Seeking to claw back money that has already been appropriated by running out the clock for Congress to reject its request before the funding expires.

Nope. Not even a little bit legal. $$$ been appropriated.

Removing Lisa D. Cook from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is a violation of the independence of the Fed - and of the rule of law.

If you don't want to hear us call out EVERY LAST VIOLATION, this is not the account to follow.
HAPPENING NOW: Hello from the media room in DC district court, where Judge Jia Cobb is set to hear argument on Lisa Cook's motion for a temporary restraining order to block her removal from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.

I'm here for @lawfaremedia.org.

Hey, we're new here: a thread on small businesses and pushing back against illegal actions of the Trump Administration.

Small businesses are being trampled by illegal actions of the executive branch. I'm a small business owner, and had an executive order destroy the market for my work. (1/6)
