The White House has been boasting about the revenue that its tariffs are raising. And now their argument to the Supremes is that the President has imposed regulatory tariffs, not revenue-generating tariffs, and so case isn't about the power to tax. (Nonsense, obv.) Here's a leading economics text.

“Courage is contagious and it’s spreading all over the country right now.” @ezralevin.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social discuss the growing backlash to Trump’s authoritarian agenda. We will see you in the streets again on Saturday to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

"It was unclear why Adm. Holsey is leaving now, less than a year into his tenure....But one of the U.S. officials...said that Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

"Trumpism will persist as the dominant feature of Republican politics at least to 2028 and almost certainly to 2032. We’re talking about a full generation of Republicans who *only* understand politics in the context of an authoritarian project."

LISTEN.

It’s not going to work this time tRump!!

NEWS --> Sen Ron Wyden writes to Pam Bondi, urging DOJ to probe $1.5 billion in Epstein financial transactions that banks flagged for Treasury Dept. He lays out roadmap for DOJ to examine money flow related to sex trafficking. Challenges Bondi in new way. Read here: newrepublic.com/article/1982...

“Months later, when Mr. Trump hosted a party at Mar-a-Lago for young women in a so-called calendar girl competition, Mr. Epstein was the only other guest.” Hmm … you don’t say!

They’re preemptively trying to blame Biden for any attacks on Americans that result from Trump’s war. Absolutely desperate.

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

No money for healthcare. No money for education. No money for infrastructure. But a blank check to bomb brown people. Just the American way. And no reporter will question it

So many broken promises.

Senior US officials are preparing for the possibility of a strike on Iran in the coming days, according to people familiar with the matter, a sign that Washington is assembling the infrastructure to directly enter a conflict with Tehran.

They're all in a group chat coordinating their propaganda.

I remember when Pope John Paul II toured the U.S. and drew 63,000 to Dodger’s Stadium in 1987. It can be hard to explain what a big deal the Pope is.

President Trump’s massive tax and budget proposal, which would add more than $3 trillion to the national debt, could increase inflation just as his tariff policies are already pushing prices up, economists warn.

National Guard troops are mobilized fairly frequently for domestic purposes, like natural disasters. Having them federalized isn’t that uncommon. But having them federalized over the objections of a state’s civil authorities is extremely uncommon and hasn’t happened in more than half a century.

Elon Musk issued a blistering criticism of the GOP spending bill for Trump’s agenda, posting that it represents a "disgusting abomination." "I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore," Musk wrote. "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”

Apparently Michael Flynn is so crazy even Trump won’t appoint him to anything.

Senate Dems’ failure to fix the Vacancies Reform Act when they had the chance is already causing havoc…

Oh boy….

if deescalation is the goal, why did Trump launch the trade war in the first place, and then escalate?

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

The Senate voted Thursday to overturn an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants, oil refineries and other industrial facilities, reversing one of President Joe Biden’s major environmental regulations.

For weeks, Washington has been waiting to see how long National Security Adviser Michael Waltz could hold on. “The answer, we now know, was 101 days,” David A. Graham writes in The Atlantic Daily.
