Trump administration begins refunding more than $166bn in tariffs Claims system launches months after supreme court ruled Trump had no legal authority to impose tariffs

So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.

The Art of the Deal.

Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?

Rep. Analilia Mejia didn’t come to play.

She went back to the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.

Then brought it straight to now.

“Stand up, defend, restore not only our democracy but also a just economy that actually works for working people.”

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

Hungary Must Arrest Visiting Leaders Sought by ICC, Magyar Says Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he would halt the departure from the International Criminal Court that his predecessor Viktor Orban initiated, affirming that Hungary would respect ...

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute.

[Hungary will] "have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC rulings and I'm sure [Netanyahu] knows this".

'This is not rewarding Russia' — US official defends extension of sanctions waiver on Russian oil "This is not rewarding Russia. That's ridiculous," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told NBC's "Meet the Press" with Kristen Welker on April 19.

Sure, Russia hasn’t done anything good, so the oil bonanza billions from the US can’t be a reward. It’s just an expression of Trump’s general policy to make life easier for Putin. It serves no US interest whatsoever.

i see people mocking the fast running robot like 'we have cars' but that misses the point.
a car can't run you down and subdue you inside or in various non-road conditions. they're not making them faster than humans for athletic reasons.

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

Three GOP Reps who are anchored in reality and believe in sanity and their oaths to the Constitution could, working together, flip this whole f*cking thing on its head while there's still time. Same with 4 GOP Senators.

They would be forever remembered as heroes to Democracy.

FFS. They took number plates off the cars of people that were locked up and used them for undercover police ops. This stinks.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

A step away from asking the Russians to investigate their own influence operations in the US. The guiding principle of Trump policy is that Russian ops are good because they support him personally. The guiding principle of Russian policy is that Trump is good because he wrecks the US & helps Russia.
