Thousands of companies are angling for refunds on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, many of which were ruled unconstitutional last week. Now some retail customers are joining the scrum
Trump about to announce he's creating The Supremest Court, which you can join as an associate justice by buying $11 million of his shitcoin and agreeing to adopt Eric.

Alien review
@johnaharrison.bsky.social assume you’ve seen my fave film review of all time
Trump said he read all the case law prior to the decision and he has great reading comprehension and there was no way he should have lost the case but the justices were political.
The government's immigration plans: a dog’s dinner of half-conceived policy, Reform rhetoric, mean-spirited sentiment, and profound intellectual muddle iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...

As Ian says not too late for government to think again.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
@sturdyalex.bsky.social many happy returns! 💕 (it’s today, right?!?)
Prayer for Uninteresting Times Send me a slow news day, a quiet, subdued day, in which nothing much happens of note, save for the passing of time, the consumption of wine, and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote. Grant me a no news day, a spare-me-your-views day, in which nothing much happens at all, except a few hours together some regional weather, a day we can barely recall. Brian Bilston
This, please.
@brianbilston.bsky.social if you are doing any impromptu flying visits to The Smoke before December, do please post ☺️😊 thx
