The geographic scale of these attacks are extraordinary. Irkutsk is 3,000 miles (4,900 km) from Kyiv, at the same longitude as central Mongolia.
Put it another way, that's like Anchorage successfully launching an attack on Indianapolis.

An interesting pattern: Two Trump-appointed judges have now declared that Trump does not have the power to simply invent emergencies by decree.
This is the real reason Stephen Miller and others are so furious. It's *that* power that they want for Trump.

All of those tariffs are vacated “and their operation permanently enjoined.” There isn’t a delay unless a higher court grants one on appeal by the administration. Trump loses, most* of his tariffs are removed

The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision reverses a precedent set in a unanimous decision by the court in 1935 and now says the president can fire heads of independent agencies like the FTC or NLRB.
Except for the Fed. Why? Because tanking the stock market is where the conservative judges draw the line

tl;dr —> ACA expanded Medicaid to 138% of the poverty level with a promise: feds pay 90% of the cost. That’s central to 40+ states adopting expansion and insuring ~20 million. If that 90% is cut, states must either raise taxes, slash programs or remove residents from Medicaid.

![The Defendants ask this Court to extend the deadline to respond to its Order at ECF No.
51, arguing that the Defendants require several days to “meaningful[ly] review the Supreme
Court’s decision,” issued last night at 7:00 PM, and that it is “impracticable for Defendants to
comply with the Court’s 9:30 AM deadline only a few hours after the Supreme Court issued an
order in this case.” ECF No. 55. This, Defendants say, supports extension of the filing deadline
until April 15, 2025. The Court largely rejects the Defendants’ request.
First, the Defendants’ act of sending Abrego Garcia to El Salvador was wholly illegal
from the moment it happened, and Defendants have been on notice of the same. Indeed, as the
Supreme Court credits, “the United States acknowledges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a
withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador
was therefore illegal.” Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S. ____ (2025), Slip Op. at 1. Second,
the Defendants’ suggestion that they need time to meaningfully review a four-page Order that
reaffirms this basic principle blinks at reality. Third, the Defendants misconstrue the Supreme
Court’s Order stating that the original deadline at ECF No. 21 is “no longer effective,” as](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bfdiyietterineb3cvu3ddco/bafkreidyvdn2fqzfiqbybh7exaxrxr6ojjzm4qm4whnum5nmtqcsfjlknu@jpeg)

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!
why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.
