In an unsigned opinion and without addressing the question of whether the terminations themselves were lawful, the court said the nonprofits that brought the case did not have legal standing to sue over federal employees’ firings.
The vote was 7 to 2. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have kept the firings paused while the case plays out in the lower courts, according to the order.
Son of a bitch…
I read somewhere that the ban on US films had already been declared.
So, NOTHING will be enough.
So, every thing you said applies.
“…the emergency is … something he’s building”
It’s about redefining the boundaries of executive power. Imagine if this economic crisis keeps getting worse — the amount of power he will gain.
Yes he is building it with the intent of creating a situation where he has to declare a formal state of emergency, military rule, absolute presidential power and declare the start of the American reich. I wonder what he’ll call it? He is surrounded by people who will absolutely support and enable this. Project 2025 is just the beginning.
Military rule increases the probability of subsequent military coups and attempted coups.
Or maybe insurrection or civil war.
We can but hope.
Absolutely both.
Unknown = Other = Not Them = Bad!
Perhaps they do, and it’s what they want. They want what Trump is making.
But Israel has demonstrated perfectly well that drone strikes and air strikes are how to beat these sorts of urban ‘terrorists’. What could Trump and Netanyahu have been chatting about, I wonder?
Catch-22. By design.
Maybe look it up? 
I just did because I too thought I’d seen that, but all the latest articles I could find are still saying that “China” is only in the “considering it” stage.
Edit: This might be where we got that impression:
Axios interviews the chief snowflake.

With Trump, he’s taking advantage wherever he can, though it doesn’t necessarily mean he planned it that way. (He definitely is doing tariffs because he believes in US manufacturing - but he’s too incompetent to actually have that happen - and someone told him about McKinley and his tariffs, and because he can personally weld huge power with tariffs, and he wants US companies and foreign leader to grovel at his feet, and yeah, a lot of these directly counteract each other, and he doesn’t know/care.)
But yeah, I’ve been thinking lately that burning down the world economy will be Trump’s Reichstag fire… he might not have intended it from the start, but he’ll certainly take advantage of every real and imagined disaster (even if he’s the cause) that gives him some power.
I don’t know. I think He is doing it just to hurt China.

Gotta get those DEI outta there! How did a white man not get this job? They really are making no effort to even be subtle anymore.
I… I have no words…
Tariffs and levies on things like tobacco and alcohol were deeply unpopular with the public. They were regressive, costing working people a far greater percentage of their income than the rich. In one of his speeches, Hull attacked the new dominant class of oligarchs: “The world has never seen such colossal fortunes as we behold in the present age … the Carnegies, the Vanderbilts, the Morgans, and the Rockefellers, with their aggregated billions of hoarded wealth.”
Hull said, “It would seem that this class of people consider themselves almost immune from any kind of taxation.” He closed a speech with a warning to his congressional colleagues: “Public sentiment is becoming aroused.”
I believe. He never experienced love in His life. He have no idea what is It.
The markets are all in negative territory again today, and the tariffs on China are set to go into effect at midnight. I’m sure it will be better tomorrow, right?
(Narrator: No, it was not to be)
It’s a loyalty test. If Netanyahu agrees with that outrageous statement, or at least doesn’t challenge it, then Trump knows he owns him. Literally.
That makes too much sense for me to believe Trump came up with it.
Don’t believe the AI hype. It’s currently at best a Mechanical Turk (using people-generated content to smush together something resembling people-generated content) and at worst equivalent to the stupidest Proud Boy (because it’s really bad at discerning what is good content and what is accurate content). Any company that depends on it to replace actual workers in the next 20 years is going to be crushed by companies that still employ real people.
