They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

Nailed it. Canada does not need the U.S. or all of the garbage we allow in our food and products. We have no right to make those demands. This administration can’t go away fast enough.

Likewise. 😂 I’m the same when it comes to Halloween. I go full bore or not at all and there’s no ‘not at all’. 🤪

That looks simply amazing! If it tasted even half as good as it looks, that would easily be one of my favorites.

I got so tired of seeing that stupid flag (y’all know which one I’m talking about) that I did this shirt last year. It’s back in my shop.

Attention White House:

Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

In the hearing happening now about the Trump admin's removal of Venezuelans under the Alien Enemy Act, one of the panel judges says, "Nazis got better treatment," noting they at least had access to a hearing before they were deported.

Saying the gov’t “will not” disclose information is seriously over the line.

As for Judge Boasberg’s fitness, he has served on both the Alien Terrorist Removal Court & the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Hard to imagine a more qualified judge for these issues.

Let's Be Honest About The State Of The Union It wasn’t necessary to watch all of Trump’s speech last night to understand where we are as a country.

“Thank you again. Thank you again,” he says to John Roberts. Then he awkwardly slaps him on the shoulder and says, “Won’t forget it.” The moment has an almost classic mob boss feel to it in context.

How many times has he said "nobody has ever seen anything like it" or words to that effect? We must live in the most novel era of all time.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.

All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

The president's tariffs are a terrible deal for, well, everyone. Especially Americans who buy things. And especially gamers.

Trump’s Rage Over “Low” Deportations Suddenly Gets More Unnerving A new DOJ memo argues that immigration judges can be stripped of civil-service protections. That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.

This is ugly: Trump's DOJ has effectively informed immigration judges in a new memo that they can no longer rely on rules that protect against arbitrary firing. This lays groundwork for removing them if they rule the "wrong" way too often.

New piece from me:
