It's a blow to the idea "he can do anything he wants." The tariffs are extremely important but the implications range far beyond that.
For example, his plan to impose voting restrictions whether Congress approves them or not just took a huge hit.

What about the 2 million unreleased Epstein files tho
This is why public opinion matters.
Liz Collin of Alpha News (which obtained Ross’s cell phone video of the killing) says this is the official fundraiser for Jonathan Ross. This is how the creator described it. Megyn Kelly has shared Collin’s post here

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.
The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.
The goose chase meme, suggesting that perhaps, just perhaps, Texas might have brought this problem on itself.
"The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active

It must be refreshing to wake up with each day a tabula rasa, with no awareness of anything that happened in between 238 years ago and 7am.

Federalism is good for USA democracy in the age of Trump. Agree.
I have doubts about this argument for the electoral college.
DC and Puerto Rico need to be states, and the House needs to be expanded. Agree.
But robbing Gore and HRC of their popular vote victories has never sat right with me.
Republicans should increase the pressure on Donald Trump "to fire the most unqualified secretary of defense in U.S. history," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:
I’m genuinely curious what your ideas for an electoral college fix would be within this context.
Who is advocating for the removal of federalism by asking for the president to be elected by popular vote?
You can have 50 states administer and tally votes for 50 elections and sum up the votes for each candidate to determine the winner. Or just do the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
I was thinking that it wasn’t a marriage, simply out of wedlock.
The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics. To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map. Here’s why. Earlier this year, President Trump began urging Texas to redraw its U.S. House map to create five additional Republican seats. Lawmakers reportedly met that request to redistrict on purely partisan grounds with apprehension. When the Governor announced his intent to call a special legislative session, he didn’t even place redistricting on the legislative agenda. But when the Trump Administration reframed its request as a demand to redistrict congressional seats based on their racial makeup, Texas lawmakers immediately jumped on board. On July 7, Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), sent a letter (“the DOJ Letter”) to the Governor and Attorney General of Texas making the legally incorrect assertion that four congressional districts in Texas were “unconstitutional” because they were “coalition districts”—majority-non-White districts in which no single racial group constituted a 50% majority. In the letter, DOJ threatened legal action if Texas didn’t immediately dismantle and redraw these districts—a threat based entirely on their racial makeup. Notably, the DOJ Letter targeted only majority-non-White districts. Any mention of majorityWhite Democrat districts—which DOJ presumably would have also targeted if its aims were partisan rather than racial—was conspicuously absent.
Here is the federal district court's 2–1 ruling, authored by a very conservative Trump appointee, striking down Texas' new Republican gerrymander on the grounds that it unlawfully discriminates against racial minorities. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
New rule: if you’re a Supreme Court Justice and you’re mentioned in the Epstein files, you have to recuse from any future lawsuit about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Whoops my finger slipped. Here is the supposed upsetting graphic she used...
Indiana University removed a Lecturer from her "Diversity, Human Rights, and Social Justice" course after a student filed a complaint about a graphic the instructor showed in class, which included "Make America Great Again" as an example of "Covert White Supremacy."

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
great point. Dems have a lot more wiggle room on this stuff than the “popularist” people say
Most of the hearing was routine. At one point, however, Straw's attorney, Christopher Parente, lodged a largely symbolic objection over his client having to turn in his passport, calling him a "boring suburban dad" and saying his whole reason for going to the protest in the first place included objecting to the government checking people's passports and papers. Parente said it wasn't fair for Straw "to sit here now and ask him to turn his passport over to the government for no reason other than they think they can," adding that "landscapers arrested by ICE cannot stand up to the government." "Mr. Straw can, and your Honor can, too," Parente said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg said the passport was about bond conditions, not about what ICE is doing on the streets, and that defendants have turned in their passports "in every case I've had for 19 years." After McShain decided Straw did not have to turn in his passport, Mecklenburg said she'd drop the requirement for all defendants to ensure Straw was not receiving special treatment.
I’m going to think about watching this moment unfold in real time for a long time.

Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This email is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help his former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment charges by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, later put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/

In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

A statement from Nassau, NY DA Anne Donnelly: Since first learning of George Santos' actions, I have been at the forefront of bringing him to justice. I am proud of the work my office has done, and the conviction achieved in partnership with the US Attorney's office, While the office cannot comment on ongoing investigations, suffice it to say that I remain focused on prosecuting political corruption whereever it exists regardless of political affiliation.
Via @klasfeldreports.com, George Santos may not be done with the criminal justice system.
Where are all the supposed pro-free speech, anti-cancel culture Conservative comedians right now? Performative frauds…
