A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Photo from my collection, writing on the back says “General Nuisance. Summer 1954”.

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?

It's Time to Drag Pete Hegseth's Bigoted Pastor and Expose Trump's Failed Iran War Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth believes he's on a mission from God and supports an American Crusade. His pastor, Doug Wilson, demands Christian domination. Well, I would like to retort.

Holy shit. Hadn't heard that!

‼️ By refusing to hold officers liable for violating rights unless other officers have previously been held liable in identical circumstances, the Court’s qualified immunity jurisprudence effectively nullifies those rights altogether

Roy Anthony Scott's case *should clear even this Court's bullshit qualified immunity hurdles tbh

they want a directly, extremely on point case before they can hold violent cops accountable? ok, how bout this one? still no?

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?

It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House.

He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power.

That’s not a warning, that’s a confession.

Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to “white Christian nationalism” is 🔥

But let’s not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism.

I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

Kevin Warsh wants to lead America’s central bank.

Why does he have more than $100 million in undisclosed assets?

Congress Votes to Extend Expiring Law on Warrantless Surveillance for 10 Days

It's so funny to me that Trump pushed the GOP to extend FISA after bitching for years that it was used to "spy" on his campaign. Surveillance on thee but not on me! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...

Back on Feb 18, I interviewed Jocelyn Benson, who told me Dem Secretaries of State were running table-top exercises for these types of scenarios. You can listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Barely more than a decade ago, Florida proudly and with a bipartisan vote passed in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants who had been brought here as children and grew up in Florida. DeSantis’ Lieutenant Governor was actually a champion of the bill.

Things changed fast.

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...
