The president has likely known from the start that what he’s doing is illegal - and when the Supreme Court told him to stop, instead of focusing on putting money back in Americans’ pockets, he found new ways to set illegal tariffs. This is un-American.

When Iranian news is more honest than American news, if a bit repetitive.

ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office β€” a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

This story suggests that Witkoff and Kushner bungled the negotiations with Iran because they don't understand nuclear technology

Significant tornado threat today across Illinois, especially near I-80, as extreme instability and a lifting warm front create a dangerous setup for strong, long-track tornadoes and destructive hail. Texas also faces a QLCS tornado, hail, and wind threat. Have a safety plan and stay weather aware. πŸŒͺ️
