Been mentioned anywhere yet about Judge Chutkan sticking it to Elon and DOGE?
I love that woman.
She is dripping with judicial awesomeness.
She does have superpowers.
An army of taco trucks should park in front of the White House and Mar-A-Lago. Trump Always Chickens Out has become a new meme among those charged with following the tariff turmoil. The orange one is not pleased, boo hoo.
Speaking of that, a three-panel judge of the US Court of International Trade, which I did not know was even a thing, has struck down, nay, stomped down, Trump’s tariffs as unquestionably unconstitutional. Turns out he can’t just cry “emergency” and do whatever he wants. And Congress cannot just let him.
Flying ketchup, uh salsa, alert!!
The Federal Appeals Court in DC stayed the Court of International Trade order temporarily.
Michael Popok explains here.
I have the perfect recipe for those taco trucks.
Yes, orange chicken tacos. What could be better?
(And they actually sound delicious.)
Congress - When are you gonna understand that this mess after mess after mess has gone on long enough. Yeah we would end up with JD, but perhaps, perhaps he would see the writing on the wall.
You cannot be afraid to do the correct thing, and DO. YOUR. JOBS.
If JD is just as bad, he’s next, and on, and on and on.
Things are just going swell on the trade and tariff front. Stability related to costs and regulatory requirements is fine… if we are measuring in the nanosecond range.
Lawyers will remember this time as The Golden Years.
I love the fact she’s seeing right through that bullshit of “Oh, I just effectively renamed an existing agency”. Okay, let’s pretend you did that. Then how his this person, a so-called special employee, running it instead of the person who was actually confirmed to be in charge of the agency? Why has congress not impeached her?
So, President Mike Johnson?
Like I said, “And on and on and on” Sometimes you need to do more than just cut off the head of the snake.
But we cannot be afraid to do that. If the heart, and tail needs cut out as well, that will be next.
We cannot be made afraid of these people. That is what they have done. Look what that has gotten the country. Do we let them continue while we just dig our toe in the dirt?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Elon go at it.
Love this - trying to picture all of it…
Getting aggro, like, all over the place. Really liking that.
Hope / bet lots of people in adjacent offices, etc. got a good sampling of their sentiments.
The tilt has been confirmed by Scareolin Leavitt.
It was probably like this.
Or this
Maybe
But no fighting in the War Room. That’s not allowed.
Many years ago in National Lampoon there was a (fake) news article about David Bowie and Lou Reed getting in a fistfight outside a NYC nightclub. “Onlookers described it as looking like two old ladies trying to put out a fire on each other’s tummies.” That’s what I imagine it looked like.
There’s a trope for that.
Har! Now Elmo has a black eye, which he says he got from horsing around with his son. Uh-huh.
Ooh, snap! Implying that Scott Bessent hits as hard as a 5-year-old child. I’m sure he thinks all his bros are buying it.
