NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

The first step to dealing with Trumpism is to ignore everything they say and only watch what they do.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

And if he doesn’t want to do that, he could resign and we could take his winnings.

Well, well, well…

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Trump's tariffs = illegal! IEEPA provides limited authority to respond to unusual & extraordinary threats Routine trade deficits and disagreements don't qualify-the Court smacked it down Article I & rule of law stands! -TN

Small business owners: SCOTUS just slapped down Trump's tariff policy This is your moment to get back the tariff money Trump illegally took from you—& in so doing to fight for democracy! @katiephang.bsky.social & I explained w/ @jimacosta.bsky.social

Today wasn't just about tariffs SCOTUS rejected Trump's claim that courts can't review his emergencies That logic extends to the Alien Enemies Act, The National Guard & beyond The rule of law is holding--for now I discuss @ 6pm ET on @ms.now w/ @arimelber.bsky.social -TN

We've had real wins — elections, redistricting, legislative seats & there is support on this court — a 6-3 majority is emerging But they're also using the shadow docket No argument, no transparency The court is holding--but the fight isn't over I explain w/ @arimelber.bsky.social -TN

Instead of blaming undocumented kids for the high cost of college, how about blaming the defense contractors? How about blaming the billionaires who aren’t paying their taxes? How about blaming an economic system that has not invested in the health and education of our country?

They will face accountability one day.👇

Newsom: It’s a tantrum on top of a tantrum — Trump attacking his own handpicked Supreme Court, which has been completely supine. It’s been doing his bidding, particularly on the shadow docket, for months and months.

WATCH — Rep. @yassaminansari.bsky.social: “The Department of Justice never even questioned Les Wexner, the person who financed Jeffrey Epstein. That is a 5-alarm fire🔥to me.” (H/T @couriernewsroom.bsky.social )

It's wild that six years ago John Roberts was issuing huffy public statements about how there is no such thing as a "Trump justice" or an "Obama justice," and then today at a press conferece Trump basically called Roberts a cowardly RINO cuck and Kavanaugh a "genius" who "loves our country"

They are also in Rochester and Penfield in NY.

We need live on screen fact checking for this « state of the union »

Newsom: And I think there’s going to be a hell of a State of the Union. I imagine that could mean more forays overseas — watch what happens with Iran. But this weakness is on display. World leaders have finally figured it out and the American people are seeing it, too.

The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed to Border Report that special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were involved in the shooting death of a man on South Padre Isla… #Border

ICE reportedly closed a deal worth tens of millions of dollars to warehouse human beings in Roxbury, New Jersey. It betrays everything this community stands for and then hands them the bill.

😳😳😳

Huh?

In Doug Ford’s Ontario it’s about who ya know, NOT what ya know Niece elected to Ontario PC Executive & interned for not 1 but 2 MPPs Nephew elected MPP in 2022, appointed to Cabinet as Minister Steve Clark’s daughter, former media spokesperson for Ford, now CofS for Minister Quinn

Aw...men are butt hurt that they were excluded from a work trip. Maybe now they know what it's been like for women and minorities all these decades. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks apnews.com/article/dei-...

Morning news! Chief Justice Roberts wrote the decision. 6-3 SCOTUS knocks down #47's tariffs - He claims as POTUS he had the "right" to impose tariffs - it is confirmed that businesses and consumers are paying the tariffs and it's hurting both. #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks time.com/7380033/supr...

Love this! I also hope somebody sues him over the domestic abuse he’s doing to all of us verbally every day

www.npr.org/2026/02/19/n... Ugh. I always wanted to go to that school, too.

This was the plan with the tariff trash the entire time. It is a great way to set aside a bunch of money from customers as a tax, cancel the tax and pocket the profit. The pedopals have screwed the people again.

You know swans are big, but when you see them walking on a road —wow

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

This is deeply revealing. On some level, he knows he is lying & cheating & getting ahead *by virtue of exploiting a rule-based system that someone else created & maintains*. In other words, someone else is in charge of holding things together. Someone else is the mom. He's the naughty boy.

Honestly, the culture we grew up and was so messed up. I kind of don’t see as avoidable that so many people would be this way. But it’s maddening. Power imbalances. People dominating others. This was the norm when we grew up. The old country should’ve been left behind in the old country, I think.

It’s a morning for the WH to hide the ketchup bottles: Bad GDP numbers. Not great inflation numbers. Tariffs overturned by SCOTUS.

This is JUST BECAUSE D.C. has a largely black population. You know that’s true.

Depressing thought

The most shocking thing about this decision: 3 Justices would have let Trump use a statute that doesn’t mention tariffs to impose unrestricted ones.

Maya Angelou didn’t just write about resilience. She lived it. She proved dignity cannot be crushed and hope cannot be silenced. Still I rise. Always. Poet. Author. Truth teller. A voice that taught generations how to stand back up. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

Trump will have a plan to reconstruct a lot of his tariffs after this SCOTUS ruling through a combination of other legal authorities (232, 301, 122). But those authorities are more narrow and process-intensive, so he has lost the ability to just rapidly slap tariffs on any country on a day's notice

They didn’t cover Obama this way. Every story didn’t begin “The president was calm and collected as he received the news, analyzed it and responded.”

Botstein palled around with Epstein for years and helped launder his reputation. The Epsteins cannot exist without the Botsteins. It's time for accountability katemanne.substack.com/p/bards-pres...

This is absolutely fascinating.
