I’m just a stupid libtard Professor but if we have several hundred billion dollars of new spending to shovel out shouldn’t we also tax someone

It is the consumers' fault they don't buy the products that are insanely expensive.

The consumers extend the malaise that keeps billionaires from extending their fortunes.

Preach!

Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.

We are a couple of weeks away from attacking the Falklands.

Wait, how was it received by the DoD 14 years later?

CBP puts the blame on legacy IT systems. To be blunt, while these problems may be completely valid, this is entirely the fault of the government.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Stayed up until 2am watching FP2. No regrets.

Just writing those words hurts my soul.

The country I chose to be my home, the country I love, has devolved to being a lawless bully because of Trump and his ilk.

I am sick to my stomach.

Unfortunately, this is who we are now.

We've lost the moral ground. We're not a force for good anymore. We are the de facto aggressors. And we have no moral qualms about killing children.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

"But, hey, at least Iran's 50 year-long *imminent* threat has been eradicated. Now they will like us, for sure."

"In a stroke of strategic brilliance, we lobbed a bunch of bombs to Iran for absolutely no reason, and now I have to sell a kidney to fill up my car with gas."

- every MAGA voter, probably.

Formula 1: Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races under threat because of conflict in Middle East The Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix are under threat as a consequence of the US-Israel war with Iran.

Unfortunately, it seems they might get cancelled.

US taxpayers will now have to pay $700 million a month in interest for every month Trump refuses to refund tariffs under the Supreme Court ruling. So much winning.

Good thing we cut down on cancer research, education, and food assistance programs.

JF was all the rage when he was running for Senate.

"The authentic working class Democrat" the media called him.

Dude turned out to be a buffoon and a bigot.

Maybe it was the stroke. Maybe he always was like that. One thing's for sure: PA needs a new Senator.

It seems that the Trump admin defines "war" as "a country doesn't like us" -- in which case we are at "war" with pretty much the whole world.

I still have not heard a convincing justification for attacking Iran, particularly since *they were negotiating*.

Gonna start pretending I’m Canadian overseas.

Mojtaba Khamenei’s wife, Zahra Adel; his mother, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, and a son were killed alongside his father in strikes on Saturday, the Iranian government said.

Good luck normalizing relations or getting Iran to abandon its nuclear aspirations.

Some would call it just a "fatal MID"...

'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

"The laws of decency condemn such villainy." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Screenshot of excerpt from opinion that reads: "Despite this, the New York courts refused to stay the trial court’s order. After that highly questionable injunction was issued, the applicants filed appeals in both the Appellate Division (the State’s intermediate appellate court) and the Court of Appeals (its highest court) challenging the trial court’s order on federal constitutional grounds. At the same time, applicants asked both courts to stay the trial court’s order. The Appellate Division refused to issue a stay, and by order issued on February 11, the Court of Appeals sent the appeal filed in that court to the Appellate Division and dismissed applicants’ motions for a stay."

With nowhere else to turn, the applicants asked us to issue a stay, and we have jurisdiction to entertain their application. Title 28 U. S. C. §1257(a) gives us jurisdiction to review “[f]inal judgments or decrees” that are rendered by a State’s highest court and adjudicate federal constitutional claims, and the Court of Appeals’ February 11 order falls within that category.

1/9: In the New York redistricting case, Justice Alito's justification for why #SCOTUS even had *jurisdiction* to issue a stay is based upon a remarkably misleading portrayal of the state court proceedings.

I realize this is technical, but I wanted to write a short thread to explain the shadiness:

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

All you need is the willingness to follow orders; being actually smart or good at the law is irrelevant.

Rubio's core argument:

- "I punched a rando on the street in self defense."

- "Was he about to attack you?"

- "No, but he would have returned my sucker punch, so my sucker punch was self defense."

Let me see if I get this right: we bombed Iran, killed 150 schoolchildren, wreaked havoc in the ME, violated IL, and abandoned 10,000s of US citizens in the region because Trump and Hegseth want a literal crusade?
