Again? Hasn’t there been previous rulings that Trump attempting to unilaterally impose tariffs is illegal? Isn’t there an order to repay American companies for the illegal tariffs they had to pay?
I’m curious, after these past rulings, who decided to follow these clearly illegal orders and what consequences will anybody face?
It’s not flipping. It’s making it publicly official.
But why should it matter? 8 weeks ago he said that he only needed 4 week.
“It’s always been a four-week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so. It’s always been about a four-week process, so – as strong as it is, it’s a big country, it’ll take four weeks – or less,”
– Donald Trump (2026-Mar-01)
In 2022 the Supreme Court decided in Merrill v Milligan that racially gerrymandered districts while recognized as being illegal, were allowed to be used anyways because of how close they were to an election.
When an election is close at hand, the rules of the road must be clear and settled. Late judicial tinkering with election laws can lead to disruption and to unanticipated and unfair consequences for candidates, political parties, and voters, among others.
I wonder how consistent the court will be on preserving these districts.
At what point can Comey claim herassment and seek reparations for incurred legal fees and punitive damages?
“The world is big and scary. Everybody hates me and makes fun of me. I don’t want to leave my houses. Make them come here. I don’t wanna go anywhere ever again. I need a diappy change.”
– Donald Trump, maybe
Trump gets in a feud with the Pope. Trump says that the Pope’s brother is “MAGA all the way”. Pope’s brother gets a bomb threat.
I am genuinely confused about what message was supposed to have been sent by the threat.
“The evil I saw in that White House was staggering. In 2020, I finally said ‘enough,’”
Meanwhile millions of Americans were able to see the evil without having to be inside the White House. Even if she’s genuinely switching sides and changed her religious views or whatever she used to justify the Republicans repeated attacks on female body autonomy and LGBTQ+ equality and voter oppression and defending / prompting sexual abusers and spreading blatant lies about political opponents and diverting funds from social services to billionaires etc etc etc, she’s too oblivious to the suffering of the American people to be a public servant.
Even if they turn sour on Trump, I bet they will continue to support and vote for everything he stands for and all of the people that protect him and empower him.
I’ve been seeing these type of headlines of Republican “fear” of losing elections due to the horrible shit they do when they are in power. The money behind Republicans don’t care. It’s built into the plan. Republicans just hunker down, switch to obstructionsm to limit undoing the damage they caused and wait for the voters to get fed up with the lack of change and blame the party in power (not the party that created the situation and is preventing it from changing). Then they find themselves back in power and continue burning the world and push for every more oppression.
Supreme Court already decided that the president of the United States has immunity for any and all official acts. There are no laws that apply Trump at the moment. All he has to do is wrap his actions or inactions in some flimsy pretext of it being an official act of the office of the president.
Though I appreciate these cases continuing to slap the Supreme Court justices in the face for their disastrous ruling.
Oh no. I hope that his allegiance with the Trump administration does not result in a miserable life filled with increasingly deteriorating health and ultimately an early death. That would be unfortunate.

Money and lifetime medical coverage.
Without punitive consequences, this type of “illegal appointment” will happen again. The damage is done, the goal accomplished, undoing what was done in 4 months will take years.
Damn. Guess Trump will have to find a different group to speak while he takes a nap.
And still no consequences. Really driving home the point that courts are only good for punishing the poor.
Only the agents in Minnesota?
only to target immigrants who have criminal charges or convictions.
Really curious who they were previously told to target. I’d like to see the wording on those orders.
And this time they pinky swear that they mean it!
Sounds totally legit. Lawyers often make unilateral decisions to resolve cases without consent from their clients.
