Well, the government is paying back Trump's illegal tariffs. The U.S. government has already issued over $20.6 billion in tariff refunds following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated import duties imposed under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act USA Today. [1, 2]
The total amount illegally collected could reach roughly $166 billion.
America, Trump's 7th bankruptcy.

Benjamin Netanyahu goes full psycho mode and tells the people of Lebanon to immediately surrender and "join Israel" or face destruction.
Netanyahu says that if they join Israel, the possibilities are "endless."
"They want war, not peace."
"They want death, not life."
"They will sacrifice as many of you as possible."
The U.S. just today’s morning struck two water reservoirs in Iran, disrupting its drinking water supply for local communities.
The U.S. has targeted schools, hospitals, universities, bridges, and other civilian infrastructures in Iran.
Destroying civilian infrastructures is not military necessity. The U.S. is totally unleashed with no red lines. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are not a target
If I criticize your side, you assume I'm on theirs. If I criticize their side, they assume I'm on yours. You are both wrong. My position is guided by principles and upholding the law rather than alignment.
But, is there an international law for the U.S. that is different from the international law for other countries?
🚨 This May Be One Of The Most Remarkable Things Trump Has Said About Iran Yet.
According to Trump, the United States has been secretly taking “millions of barrels of oil” from Iran.
Then he added:
“Iran just found out.”
For months, Americans have been told the goal was deterrence, diplomacy, and regional stability.
Now comes a statement suggesting something very different. Because if the United States has been covertly seizing Iranian oil on that scale, that raises a lot of questions the administration is going to have to answer.
Remember when Israel bombed the first school that people are using as a shelter in Gaza and the world wouldn't believe it and Israel justified it with military rationale. Israel has destroyed all schools in Gaza.
Now Israel bombs vicinity of schools that people are using as a shelter in Lebanon and doesn't even need to pretend there's a military rationale.
This is another war crime, and the International Criminal Court remains silent. Israel is testing the international reaction by bombing the areas surrounding these schools; if we do not stop Israel from such war crimes, it will soon begin bombing schools in Lebanon that are full with displaced people.
i'll be sharing more stuff like this for a while. it seems to me that the current macro situation is devolving as we all knew it would. hope at least one of these posts gives solace. the summer will be long. please stay safe everyone. https://t.co/EBXKIkqMvm
