BREAKING: The Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN Trump's "emergency" tariffs. The vote is 6–3. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The King *didnt* have power to raise revenue through tariffs! Britain fought a whole civil war about it, and the power to tax was a strictly parliamentary power

Yes, the biggest tax increase in more than three decades was illegal from the start and you’ll never get that money back.

JUST DROPPED: Supreme Court decision on (most of Trump's tariffs). They're unconstitutional. They've always been unconstitutional. Turn 'em off. This wasn't a trade war; it was a pointless and illegal diversion.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a disturbing amicus brief Tuesday urging a federal court to force the Wisconsin Elections Commission to hand over the state’s unredacted voter rolls to Trump’s Justice Department www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Delivering a major blow to President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled that he exceeded his authority when imposing sweeping tariffs using a law reserved for a national emergency: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

BREAKING! The Supreme Court struck down Trump's tariffs "Accordingly, the President must “point to clear congressional authorization” to justify his extraordinary assertion of the power to impose tariffs. Nebraska, 600 U. S., at 506 (internal quotation marks omitted). He cannot." 1/

There's obviously about eleventeen things wrong with this quote, but let's just be clear on exactly what #SCOTUS *actually* said in Vasquez Perdomo: "The application for stay presented to Justice Kagan and by her referred to the Court is granted." That's it. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Interviewer: "When you look at today's numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs." Me, very serious economist: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahahahaha... oh, wow." Sometimes all you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all.

It's the only chance they have, so get ready for some loud shit

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Beyond parody. How many dictatorship-style monuments, building name changes, and fake awards do Americans have to endure?

The UK arrested a former prince, while in the US a giant banner of pedo Trump went up at DOJ headquarters today.

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

Joe and Merrick didn't get rid of this guy and Chuck and Hakeem keep handing over your tax money to him. The VOTERS saved the country in 2020 and the people we put in power pissed all that hard work away. They're not leaders. Demand more from your candidates.

Here is DOJ's list of 52 violations of court orders in District of NJ in the last 3 months (since 12/5/25). DOJ emphasizes there were 547 cases. Includes 17 detainees transferred out of NJ and one removed from the country in violation of court orders. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.” This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate." #TrumpSyndicate

U.K. action helps expose DOJ coverup: Feb 7: Bondi DOJ memo: "We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties." Sept 16: Kash Patel testimony: "There is no credible information, none" that Epstein trafficked girls to other men.

I'm not quite sure how this statement made it past the marketing or legal departments.

/5 Black’s “absolutism“ was more or less “we keep adding these judicially created multi-factor tests and shit to create exceptions that aren’t in the text,” and, fair, we do. But again, for as long as SCOTUS has analyzed the First Amendment, it has recognized exceptions.

Can we talk a bit about the terms “First Amendment absolutist” and “free speech absolutist,” and whether they have any agreed-upon meaning? I promise to try, to the utmost of my ability, to Be Respectful Of Other Opinions. /1

🚨BREAKING: Federal court DISMISSES anti-voting lawsuit seeking to undermine the results of Utah’s 2024 GOP primary elections. www.democracydocket.com/cases/utah-r...

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: Trump’s tariffs are a tax on you. He’s using them as leverage to enrich himself and his family and his friends — and destroy our standing in the world, devastating farmers. Why aren’t you angrier? www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

“It’s gotten old” The Trumps are tired of people asking about them looting the country and making BILLIONS off the presidency so pls stop! 😬 (From @atrupar.com )

Trump and Hegseth murder 11 more people on the high seas, and it barely makes a blip in the news cycle: www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/p...

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

There’s no question that the prosecution is purely political and utterly meritless. But my experience differs a bit on the issue of “will they tell your defense lawyer their theory of the case before they charge.” Sometimes, depending on circumstances and the prosecutor, they won’t. /1

Does the CBO also need to be disciplined? 🤓

Our leaders have lost sight of what has made us great. Compassion costs us nothing. We don't need to be like this. We are fallen.

Only 25% of Americans hold valid passports. There are many reasons why a person may or may not have a passport. But such a low number does show how few Americans experience the world beyond our borders.

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas. Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe. This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

So "out of the box" that it has been classified as a crime under international law for decades.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

I'm not sure the Republican messaging of "We're gonna just let him do whatever he wants" is gonna resonate with voters in the 2026 midterms, but I've been wrong before.

Megyn Kelly recoils at sight of mirror, understandably

He raped and beat little girls, he had some commit suicide, he had witnesses murdered, he’s threatened victims who came forward, he’s threatened everyone who’s uncovered proof, and he will to start a world war, pollute our country, destroy our constitution and yes, kill us.

Elon was, is and will die an old school South African racist. “We’re not talking about some random garbage-poster spewing hate from an anonymous social media account,” he writes. “We’re talking… about the richest man in the world, a man who wields a massive megaphone.”
