While instituting the largest tariff increase in modern history, Trump claimed that the income tax was passed for “reasons unknown to mankind” and caused the Great Depression.

Here’s the real history.

Update. Defense of #Palestinian rights is not #antisemitism, let alone terrorism. It should not be grounds for campus discipline, let alone deportation. Calling it antisemitic is a dishonest attempt to use support for Jews to deny and suppress support for Palestinians, free speech, and human rights.

"We are Jewish professors, staff members, and students from universities across the United States. We hold various views about Israel and Palestine, politics in the Middle East, and student activism on our campuses. But we are united in denouncing, without equivocation, anyone who invokes our name – and cynical claims of antisemitism – to harass, expel, arrest, or deport members of our campus communities. We specifically reject rhetoric that caricatures our students and colleagues as “antisemitic terrorists” because they advocate for Palestinian human rights and freedom."

The South Dakota Democratic Party announced that Nikki Gronli, USDA Rural Development State Director under Biden will be holding four Empty Chair Town Halls over the next few weeks, across the state, since the Republican electeds refuse to show up.

In a statement explaining why she’s holding these, Gronli said:

“A chainsaw has been taken to the pocketbooks and retirement plans of hardworking South Dakotans, all while safety net programs are being dismantled. The Executive Branch is overstepping its authority and our Members of Congress have been instructed not to hold town halls. South Dakota voices deserve to be heard. That is why I'm holding these town halls across the state that are open to everyone.” #uspol #uspolitics #southdakota #democracy #Democrats sddp.org/post/usda-biden-appoi?

"The Republican Party is a hollow, decrepit husk. It is not a political movement. It is not a governing apparatus. It is not even an ideology with any internal coherence. It is a decaying vessel for a set of impulses: authoritarianism, greed, cruelty, nostalgia, and fear. And now, with the party marching in lockstep behind a man openly exploring how to violate the Constitution to seize a third term in office, it is fair to say the Republican Party has collapsed into something far worse than irrelevance. It is a clear and present danger to democracy."

So...people, SCOTUS also ruled in the 1940s that Japanese American internment was just fine, in 2005 that the Doctrine of Discovery was a valid legal basis for screwing Native Nations out of land, and in 2013 that Black Southerners were on their own--again. Do not be disappointed. Start making plans, starting with saving those people in El Salvador.

And do not forget any names.

"But Wall Street professionals, like so many other ostensibly smart people, refused to see Trump clearly, mistaking his skill as a demagogue for wisdom as a policymaker. “I don’t think this was foreseeable,” a mournful Ackman posted on X on Monday. “I assumed economic rationality would be paramount.” What an odd assumption to make about a man who bankrupted casinos.

Berezin thinks Wall Street still hasn’t come to terms with the cost of the nascent Trump presidency. “I do think that at this point we might have passed the event horizon, meaning that even if Trump backs off from the tariffs, there’s been enough damage done to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, to investor confidence, consumer confidence, that we’re probably going to see a recession regardless of what happens,” he said.""

In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has thrown out the order of District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked removal of Venezuelans to El Salvador without legal process under the Alien Enemies Act. The government had previously indicated that deportations would immediately resume if Boasberg's order was lifted. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent: "We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it,” adding: "At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong,” citing the notorious ruling that allowed government confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II. Here's more from NBC.

#MAGA sane-washing. So the genius #Trump managed to appoint idiots to run his administration. Genius move.

Right-wing talk show host Trish Regan:

“It’s pretty shameful. Trump surrounded himself with self-interested idiots that don’t care about HIS legacy and are illiterate at math. This is not what America voted for. Trump shouldn’t have to check their dumb math — THEY NEED to do their jobs. Unless it was deliberate sabotage? A mole within hopping to take down markets, the economy and thus MAGA? ”

They’re not admitting it publicly, but #Nazi Leon and his Terrorists quietly rolled back their plans to close dozens of Social Security field offices because of blowback from the public. That’s US! This is huge. OUR POWER made a difference here. #uspol #uspolitics #socialsecurity #usa
