Well, an apology as the starting point.
Expulsion or resignation (now please) as the goal.

Also, it was the editorial board of the Deseret News demanding Senator Mike Lee's apology.

A VERY important request from C-SPAN to SCOTUS re: birthright citizenship.

📺🖥📺🖥📺🖥📺🖥📺🖥📺🖥
C-SPAN DEMOCRACY UNFILTERED Sam Feist CEO April 23, 2025 The Honorable John Roberts Chief Justice, The US Supreme Court One First Street, NE Washington, DC 20543 Dear Chief Justice Roberts, We write to respectfully urge the Court to permit C-SPAN to televise the forthcoming oral arguments on the federal government's request to implement President Trump's Executive Order on birthright citizenship. This case holds profound national significance. Its implications- legal, political, and personal--will affect millions of Americans. In light of this, we believe the public interest is best served through live tv coverage of the proceedings. The public deserves to witness- fully and directly- how such a consequential issue is argued before the highest court in the land. We commend your leadership in expanding public access to the Court. Since your decision to allow real-time audio access to oral arguments in 2020, C-SPAN has provided access to every case, often televising them live on our tv networks, but with still images of the Justice or counselor speaking. Allowing live video coverage of this case would build on that progress, offering Americans outside the few seated inside the Court, the ability to also see how critical issues are debated and decided at the highest level. Televising this oral argument would mark a civic milestone at a time when promoting public access and civic understanding of our government institutions would strengthen our democracy and help allow Americans to see, and not only hear, about issues at the forefront of their government. It would embody the transparency and accountability that strengthen our democracy and deepen public understanding and appreciation of the judicial process. We stand ready to work with the Court to ensure that this broadcast is conducted with the dignity and respect befitting the occasion. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this impt request. Sincerely, Sam Feist CEO, C-SPAN

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump I'm doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our Country, but the Courts don't seem to want me to do that. My team is fantastic, doing an incredible job, however, they are being stymied at every turn by even the U.S. Supreme Court, which I have such great respect for, but which seemingly doesn't want me to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela, or any other Country, for that matter -- People that came here illegally! The Courts are intimidated by the Radical Left who are, "playing the Ref." Great Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito correctly wants to dissolve the pause on deportations. He is right on this! If we don't get these criminals out of our Country, we are not going to have a Country any longer. We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years. We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands Df Illegals we are sending out of the Country. Such a thing is not possible to do. What a ridiculous situation we are in.

Noem said Secret Service was aware of the theft but she hadn't spoken to them about what happened.

It is absurd that you both displayed active hostility for over two years toward the Committee's oversight of the Biden Border Crisis and the consequences of millions of illegal aliens entering the country, yet now, you are seeking travel at Committee expense to meet with foreign gang members. You may be pleased to know that a Democrat Senator, Chris Van Hollen, was photographed just yesterday in El Salvador enjoying margaritas garnished with cherry slices with the foreign gang member your letter references. If you also wish to meet with him, you can spend your own money. But I will not approve a single dime of taxpayer funds for use on the excursion you have requested. Your request is denied.

Nope, no one's taking advantage of anyone just because there's a trade deficit there.

I love this analogy!

#TariffTrouble
Lori Gallagher Witt 33m I buy a chicken from my neighbor for $10. Later that year, my neighbor buys a horse from me for $10,000. That's a $9,990 trade deficit. Does that mean either of us is screwing over the other? No. It just means my neighbor had $10 worth of goods that I wanted, and 1 had $10,000 worth that they wanted. We each got a fair price for what we sold. We each got the commodity we needed. Literally no one screeches about trade deficits except when Trump is in office and tells you they're "unfair." Which leads me to believe the only people who understand trade deficits less than Trump are his voters.

True statement...

Tariff start percentages came right out of their stinkiest orifices🕳,
so,
tariff calculations were based on literal💩💩.

#TariffTrouble
James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff bariers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is. __________________________________________ James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki . 1h Replying to @JamesSurowiecki It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff. [image of tariffs lists melon felon showed during his tariff announcement circus.....the lists had columns for "Country", "Tariffs Charged To The U.S.A.", and "U.S.A. Discounted Reciprocal Tariffs"] 6:22 PM Apr2, 2025 . 267.7K Views __________________________________________ James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki 22m Even given that it's Trump, I cannot believe they said "We'll just divide the trade deficit by imports and tell people that's the tariff rate." And then they decided to set our tariffs by just cutting that totally made-up rate in half! This is so dumb and deceptive.
