Princess Awesome & Stonemaier Games v. Customs Jamey and Stonemaier Games will sue the government in federal court to restore their right to run their businesses free of illegal government interference, to reassert the proper limits of presidentia...

Not only is “Princess Awesome” an awesome case name for a lawsuit, but another named plaintiff is the company that publishes the superb board game Wingspan.

And hurrah for the cause itself, challenging Trump’s bogus claim of authority under IEEPA, a law that makes no mention of tariffs at all.

Folks, you should be aware of the most amazingly named lawsuit ever: "Princess Awesome & Stonemaier Games, et al. v. Customs"
This is a group of courageous small businesses suing Felon47 over his *illegal* tariff racket. ✊

Mischief v. Trump. Yes, we are suing the president. Your friendly neighborhood toy store has joined a lawsuit against President Trump and his sweeping tariffs, which are illegal and unconstitutional.

Friends, we are suing President Trump and his administration for abuse of power. His tariffs, like almost everything he's doing, are blatantly unconstitutional & illegal.

Wingspan developer Stonemaier Games intends to sue Trump over tariffs ‘I try to lead with compassion and empathy, so legal action is very low on my list of ways to handle difficult situations’

Leadership @stonemaiergames.com takes action. They'll join @pacificlegal.bsky.social's suit against the Trump Administration over the sweeping new tariffs on China.

Princess Awesome v. CBP is probably the greatest - and most awesome - case name ever!

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.

He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.

The job was helping people with disabilities.

Man it is really hard to be living in the USA right now and getting news about how South Korea deposed their president for staging a coup and then their Supreme Court just said yup, definitely the right thing to do there.

Sorry Sen Hawley but you’ve been lied to. There’s no way to cut $880B from Medicaid without massive benefit cuts for millions of low-income Americans.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

If you could be a moron, a fascist or a coward, which would you choose? Because those are the only 3 choices available to every single elected republican in DC right now.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill.

Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Bidenomics Was Wildly Successful The president’s domestic record wasn’t just extraordinary. It might put Democrats back in power in four years.

We are not in a recession yet, but I want to just be very clear if and when one starts: Trump was handed a very strong economy and he alone fucked it up newrepublic.com/article/1892...

So the basic proposal, if I’m following correctly, is to wrench the whole American consumer economy back to Gilded Age protectionism by means of Executive fiat, right now, tonight, while Congress tries to relieve the tax burden on some rich people but everyone else goes on paying income taxes too.

Asked my smart economist friend about how #TrumpTariffs help Americans or even the rich, because I couldn't see it, and he said, "It doesn't. He's destroying stuff. It doesn't benefit anyone...except our enemies."

If we were conquered and under hostile occupation, what would the government do differently? Would an occupation government that wanted to crush the United States as a vibrant, prosperous country with influence around the world do anything differently?
