Some misinformation in today's US presidential debate about who bears the cost of tariffs. So let's talk about how tariffs affect what you pay for a suit. 🧵
Plural/possessive name reminder:
For names that end in an s or z sound, you can either add -'s or just an apostrophe.
Going with -'s is the more common choice:
the car that belongs to Jones → Jones's car or Jones' car
A president who knows they can commit crimes with impunity is dangerous.
Tell Congress: We need a constitutional amendment reestablishing criminal accountability for the president NOW.

READ: Justice Sotomayor's warning in her dissent:
"When [the president] uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority's message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."
