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.

Sic the Spanish Inquisition on him! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

No it's not justified. You can't save the rule of law by trashing the rule of law. It would be the end of our Republic.

A planned fight?!? WTF!

Well, on the other hand, an intellectual might have a problem with accepting a 2500 year old myth solely on faith, without any empirical evidence.

Murder. But they didn't blow the Iranian ship out of the water, did they? No, they stopped it and boarded it. Wonder why the difference.

Why can't they do this for boats in the Caribbean?

Then: We're very concerned about limiting Executive Branch power. Now: What limits?

Why the hell are my tax dollars being used to establish Christian Nationalism as the official state religion?

The willingness of so many attorneys to violate their ethical obligations in service to the Trump administration has been one of the saddest and most eye-opening aspects of the two Trump terms. Attorneys are not supposed to just say anything their clients want to hear.

Dumb as dirt.

Like peasants in medieval times, turning to fantasy when their lives are shit. Just what the oligarchs ordered.

A difficult task when one side bases its beliefs on "facts" that are patently false.

Not having to see his face or hear his voice ... PRICELESS!

I wonder. If Trump thought Iran was such an existential threat to the United States, why did he not mention that and share his plan to go to war against Iran during the 2024 election campaign? Not one single time. Maybe he knew the American electorate was against it?

Sharia law effectively ... for Christians.

No one should go. The way Trump has treated the legitimate press, they should all boycott.

Man if I were younger I'd start up a demolition firm in Washington, D.C., because after January 2029 there's going to be a shit-ton of business there.

Oh yeah the tired old it-was-a-joke excuse. Very dull JD very dull.

Vance says the Pope should "stick to matters of morality." That's what he was doing, calling out the US's immoral warmongering in the Middle East and DUI Hegseth's use of Christianity to support violence.

Classic MAGA-Face.

Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs UC Berkeley study finds employment held steady — and only pennies were added to menu prices.

So it turns out paying people a living wage doesn’t collapse the economy; it’s almost like the rich have been lying to us to maintain their power over our lives.

Your daily religion reminder: The god Christians worship once killed every single human being and every single animal on earth save two because they weren't acting the way he thought they should.

Better: "Trump Sends Inexperienced Vance to Negotiate Truce with Iran."

What "negotiating skills?" Vance has none. How about "Trump sends Envoy with no Negotiation Experience to Lead Talks with Iran." Yet another absurd NY Times headline.

I'm sure the 7 law professors will take a hard look at Article II and conclude that the President has the power to launch anyone in a canon and has absolute immunity from any resulting deaths. It's originalism or the unitary executive or some other made-up BS.

"My good name" from the woman who debases herself for money.

Every MAGA voter should be forced to read the NY Times article about Netanyahu being invited into the Situation Room in the White House and leading Trump by the nose, against the advice of most of his staff, into a war that benefits Israel but has proven disastrous for the USA.

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.
