Save the rainforests.

Sail around the world.

8-year-old Sasha lost her leg in a russian strike near Odesa.

Trump’s Tariffs would be held illegal if the Constitution’s separation of powers were taken seriously. Hell, they’d be struck down by Trump’s Supreme Court if its Major Questions Doctrine and its commitments to original meaning and textualism were consistently applied to Article I and IEEPA. 🔥
