James Talarico: “Real men don’t lie and cheat their way through life. They don’t enrich themselves by stealing from other people. They don’t sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves”

The administration has decided that because of the Supreme Court decision, it will now give back more than $166 billion collected in tariffs.

In the history of the worst self-inflicted policy debacles, the administration’s tariff policies should be on the short list. There is no redeeming value at all to the whole sordid affair.

They were wasteful of government time and money.

They harmed the economy and US companies and did nothing to restore US manufacturing.

They fleeced consumers who will not get the money back that was paid in higher prices.

Since the administration is now reimbursing US companies, it’s admitting by its actions (if not its words) that that the tariff critics were right all along and that Trump was obviously wrong. That is the very definition of failure.

They set a terrible legal precedent that thankfully the Supreme Court corrected, but which along with other instances of bending the law, generally undermine the rule of law.

Any other money collected from tariffs that still remain in the US Treasury were still taken out of the US private economy and thus is still not available for investment, hiring new employees, paying wages and other things that American companies need to do.

They represented a blatant abdication of Congress’s constitutional role in our system of government.

Did I leave a behind out?

A reporter asked JD Vance what he advised Trump before launching the Iran war.

His answer:

“I don’t want to go to prison.”

Not “classified.”
Not “national security.”

“I don’t want to go to prison.”

Major Alex Klinner is dead. His twins are 7 months old.
The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count.

The Baghdad embassy just told Americans to flee.

And the man one heartbeat from the presidency won’t answer for the war because he’s worried about himself.

Never stop connecting the dots.

@JakeSherman He’s rambling and so pissed! What’s with the strange lighting?

[Barbara Schwartz @babs2boys]

@Amy_Siskind What’s with his lighting?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

@MeetThePress Why if he feared for his life did he shoot the driver and let the “4000lb” vehicle go careening driverless down the road?!?! Someone needs to ask that!

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.' The next thing I knew, they were putting handcuffs on me, and they put me in the back of an SUV. I asked them if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Steve Kerr just slammed the Trump Administration for lying about what happened in Minneapolis. More leaders need to take Kerr’s cue.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

🔥 MUST-WATCH: “That’s not what it looked like to me at all. There just absolutely is no justification for this.”

@seanhannity sends a reporter to try to embarrass a Minneapolis protestor… and he chooses the wrong dude — who instead cooks 🔥 live on Fox for 2 full minutes🦸🏻‍♂️

[Barbara Schwartz @babs2boys]

@PressSec And then will Trump pardon them like the others who were convicted of fraud....hmmm?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Are there real fraud cases in Minnesota? Yes, like every state.

Does co-location, quiet offices, or home-based care prove fraud? Absolutely not.

What Shirley sells as “investigation” is actually ignorance amplified by racial and cultural unfamiliarity.

The tragedy isn’t just that it’s wrong, it’s that misinformation like this spreads faster than boring facts ever do.

I hope this thread reaches even a fraction of the audience that his misleading videos did.

@MeetThePress After this “interview” let’s just call MTP the Scott Bessent show!
