Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

For years, I’ve advocated for a stock trading ban for members of Congress. Lawmakers should serve the public, not profit from their positions. Banning stock trading would help restore trust and ensure elected officials work for you—not their own financial gain.
Opinion: It’s time to ban Congress members from trading stocks | CNN Business
The Ban Conflicted Trading Act would ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks or similar investments and prohibit them from serving on corporate boards while in office.

BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts issues a rare statement:
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

Granting a criminal absolute immunity and then putting him in charge of law enforcement turns out to be a mistake.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.
"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Watching powerless from Europe how democracy is crumbling in the US, reminds me of those movies where someone is mind-controlled by an alien or ghost. I want to yell: "America, we know you are still in there. If you can hear us, you must fight. YOU CAN DO IT. FIGHT THIS!"
