The bottom line is that the Supreme Court would be doing Republicans in Congress a big favor by taking away Toddler Trump’s Tariff Toy.
They won’t stand up to him, and are hoping SCOTUS bails them out from the Mad King’s economy killing fuckery.

NEWS: Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism today about the legality of Trump’s tariffs — which are driving up costs for Americans
After big election losses last night, some Republicans (quietly) want the court to rule against Trump.
That’s a big deal.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Two judges have just ordered that the Trump Administration must release funds for SNAP benefits. The GOP and Admin trying to use hungry kids as political leverage is beyond morally reprehensible. And it’s against the law.
