It's also worth noting that if D politicians moved off of X en masse, journalists would presumably feel compelled to take note of that and follow them. I know that most national outlets are owned by right wing billionaires and would respond in bad faith, but it feels like it has to start somewhere.

One challenge is that pols follow journalists. There is a felt need to counter right-wing narratives that get juiced which MSM then legitimize & amplify from X. As long as legacy media like NYT etc monitor + cite X as public sentiment (which they tell us they do) it is tricky for pols to leave

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)

The President had literally months to prepare his response to the Supreme Court ruling, yet couldn't even stick with his decision on the s.122 (temporary) tariff from Friday to Saturday, raising it from 10% to 15%.

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

Trump illegally imposed billions in tariffs (taxes) on U.S. corporations. Much of those costs were passed onto consumers. The corporations might get their money back. You never will.

In theory, we know this is true. But "struck down" doesn't quite capture it. These tariffs were obviously and transparently illegal. They were knowingly illegal. It is a stain on the Court that something so obviously illegal was allowed to stand for a year.

This isn't what SCOTUS *said* (they said nothing) BUT the Court's "passivity"-deciding not to decide or say anything - helps the executive branch aggressively characterize & implement the Court's orders. My draft paper "Passive Vices" goes into this (Law Review editors- it's looking for a home!)
