Maher: So being Christian is an important part of being truly American?
Boebert: Absolutely
@JamesTalarico: As a Christian, I was taught that we're supposed to follow Jesus' two commandments — love God and love neighbor. There was no exception to that second commandment.
Love thy neighbor regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation or immigration status or religious affiliation.
In Texas, I'm constantly battling Christian nationalism — a bill that forces every public school teacher to put up a poster of the 10 Commandments, a bill that replaces school counselors with untrained chaplains, a bill that would have taught Christian Bible stories as historical fact to our youngest students. And I always speak up on behalf of my Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, agnostic, and atheist neighbors. Because we as Christians are called to love them as ourselves, and forcing my religion down their throats is not love.
Look at the smug look on Trump’s Treasury Secretary’s face as he says the American people are never getting their money back from these illegal tariffs.
They stole your money. They’re laughing about it. And they think there will be no consequences.
That should tell you everything.
NEW: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent Trump a letter and an invoice demanding the return of $8.6 billion taken from Illinois families after the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s tariffs are illegal.
🚨🇺🇸 LUTNICK SWINDLES AMERICA AGAIN!!
The Supreme Court just ruled Trump's tariffs illegal. Guess who's about to make a fortune off it?
Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm now run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's sons, has been buying up the rights to tariff refunds from U.S. importers at pennies on the dollar.
Here's how the scheme works:
→ U.S. companies paid billions in tariffs that are now ruled illegal
→ Cantor approaches those companies and says: "I'll give you 25 cents now for every dollar you're owed in refunds"
→ Companies take the quick cash rather than wait years for the legal process
→ When the refunds come through, Cantor collects the full dollar
Lutnick "divested" from Cantor by handing it to his twenty-something sons and placing his equity in a trust for those same sons. He paid zero capital gains tax on the transfer.
As Commerce Secretary, Lutnick has direct visibility into the government's legal strategy, how their lawyers rate their odds, and what arguments they'll make. His family's firm is betting against the very tariffs his boss created.
They bought at 25 cents on the dollar, and after today's SCOTUS ruling, those rights could be worth 80–90 cents.
The potential payout could be in the billions. This is insider trading with extra steps.
This week I will introduce the “No Immunity for Glyphosate Act” to undo the recent Executive Order which promotes glyphosate (Round-Up) and insulates manufacturers from liability. #MAHA
Interviewer: "When you look at today's numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs."
Me, very serious economist: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha... hahahahahahahaha... hahahahahahahaha... oh, wow."
Sometimes all you can do is laugh at the absurdity.
U.S. Supreme Court Oral Argument: Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., a case on the legality of President Trump's tariffs – LIVE on C-SPAN https://t.co/OfEXi3uptp
Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump does not have the legal authority to impose global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the majority: "The IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs." Justices Alito, Kavanaugh & Thomas dissented. https://t.co/GVPZNScoYI
