Nothing will cure you of thinking our wealthy business elites are in any way smart or interesting like serving them food and drink or retail.
I have worked multiple jobs at a five-star resort, including caddie and bartender. Please do not tell me that the average business executive is normal.

If the US system remains trapped in an endless knife fight between a party of good government and a party of nihilistic governance then Europeans need to accept that the US will no longer be a stable partner long after Trump is gone
I'd just like to point out that we spent an entire shipment of air defense interceptors' worth of money on new signs for a name change that isn't even legally the name of the DoD.
Ukraine is currently experiencing rolling blackouts from Russian strikes, btw.

Letterheads and signage alone would quickly run the bill upward of $1 billion, with a full overhaul likely rising to double that amount.

It’s plausible the Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s tariffs, at least in part, since the majority’s earlier rulings have followed the standard that Trump can break the law whenever he wants except perhaps when doing so causes the Justices, their bribers, and other rich people to lose money.

This is exactly right.
But I'll suggest that the Democrats, as opposition caucuses, need to think of being an opposition caucus/party, if that's what they do actually recognize they need to be, is to approach this not as a political campaign, but how we understand planning for a military campaign. 3/

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.
