Whatever happened to that lawsuit trying to block arbitrary executive tariffs? The law that Trump is using to threaten all these tariffs has a set of causes listed, something like emergency economic events, price shocks, crashes, etc. I’m sure prosecution of the president’s friends is not on the list.

But that was a month ago.

I’ve seen at least three articles on this topic, and none of them seem to say what the sanctions are. It could be anything from denying entry to the US to freezing her bank accounts.

Could you expand on this? It isn’t obvious to me that this is true, and I haven’t seen the argument before either.

This is the result of the Republican party, starting at least with the Bush neocons, weaponizing patriotism to be a way to slander their critics, and to publicly demonstrate their allegiance to the conservative movement.

After a couple decades now of conservative pundits and politicians responding to criticism by implying their opponents don’t love America as much as they do, or even trying to stifle conversation by demanding everyone profess their love of America on the spot, I think everyone else is pretty sick and tired of the flags and pins and stars-and-stripes punisher tee shirts.

I’m gonna disagree here. The impeachment resolution was a dumb idea, and should not have been introduced. It was never going to be successful. The more impeachment resolutions are introduced and fail, either in the house or Senate, the less likely they are to ever succeed. It looks more like boring partisan messaging, and less like an extraordinary situation. Introducing this resolution makes it less likely that Trump will be removed from office, not more.

I’m not going to take a position on whether it was a good idea to vote against it, that’s more debatable, but as a message to their fellow Democrats they are right that the resolution was a terrible idea.

Did nobody hear her say that the national guard is there to “liberate” the city from their local and state officials? It was in that very same press conference. I get that there’s a lot to track right now, but that seems like a bigger deal to me

In the article it explains that some states allow people without immigration status to enroll using state funds.

And the poorest will feel that $1600 painfully. The richest won’t even notice the $12000.

Sure the American public is going through a bad phase right now, but that’s pretty normal. The fact that having a demagogue capture maybe 15 percent of the public’s support (I’m only counting real MAGA) has caused the entire government to radically change is an indictment of the political systems, more than the public. Specifically gerrymandering, plurality voting, the electoral college, bicameral legislature with filibuster, lifetime court appointments, and an independently elected president. Probably more that I’m forgetting about. Human nature isn’t going to change, but we can change how a nation makes policy.

Read CPB’s statement.

Nah this is 60 minutes putting pressure on their new handlers to not squash the segment. Now everyone knows it’s coming, and if it doesn’t air people will notice. I think it’s a wise move.

Honestly what are you talking about?

More than Abrego Garcia? Probably because he had a court order not to be deported.

There is no way that these two didn’t talk about how to answer that question before the press event. This isn’t the president of El Salvador saying he doesn’t want to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, it’s him saying that he is on Trump’s side.

If people think the big risk of AI is fake nudes… man, I wish that was the worst that could happen.

Criticism is not censorship. You’ll just have to learn to live with the fact that people can tell you when they think you’re being an ass. Free speech, you know.

Most Americans are not MAGA. If this guy gets back to a US court, and he can deliver testimony about what Trump’s DHS is doing, and what things are really like in this Salvadoran gulag, that’s the kind of primetime drama that gets people’s attention.

I for one agree that kind of sexualized criticism is inappropriate. I think a reasonable person would read it as trying to demean Schumer by associating him with other-than-straight behavior.

I dunno pretty sure they consume groceries
