Open Thread | Trump’s Epic Loss on Tariffs Is Even Worse for Him Than You Think

I have believed for some time that they know they are on the clock. Which is why you will see them ramp their evil 100 fold.

The ICE brutality isn’t working, because those Blue cities are fighting back, each and everytime.
Also, it’s not working in an overall strategy to use them to impose Martial Law, because the Black community has not been out in the streets protesting. The core of their brutality scheme was to have the visuals of those Law Enforcement Agencies , those with COMPLETE IMMUNITY, beating on Black protesters. The Black people that have always been the perfect ‘ OTHER’ for the MAGA/GOP.

Black people resting isn’t just right for us, spiritually. It’s also strategy. Denying this government the visuals that they have been desiring since January 2025. They have continued to try and bait Black Americans out into the street, and we continue to ignore the bait, which is why they have become more obvious and desperate.

The Democrats, for the November 2026 Elections, need to run on not only the lawlessness and abuse of ICE and DHS, but, the absolute CORRUPTION, UP AND DOWN.
And, they need to link the AFFORDABILITY issue to both.

Trump’s Epic Loss on Tariffs Is Even Worse for Him Than You Think
The Supreme Court’s stunning invalidation of most of the president’s tariffs is another sign that Trumpist populist nationalism is in crisis.

The Supreme Court’s stunning decision invalidating Donald Trump’s tariffs isn’t just a major legal setback, though it certainly is that. The loss before the high court is also another sign that the pillars of Trump’s right-wing nationalist agenda are crumbling in a much broader and deeper sense—so much so that it’s posing a serious threat to the long-term durability of the ideology known as Trumpism.

If you had to name the two most essential pillars of Trumpian populist nationalism, you’d probably single out his sweeping tariffs and his campaign to deport all undocumented immigrants. The tariffs are supposed to unleash a domestic manufacturing renaissance, and the mass expulsions are designed to ethnically and culturally purify the nation. Together they make up much of the foundation of Trumpism’s fantasy version of nationalist renewal.

Both of those are now in crisis. The tariffs have been broadly invalidated. And in the aftermath of ICE’s invasion of Minneapolis, the deportations of noncriminal undocumented immigrants—while still proceeding—have been widely discredited in the minds of all but the molten MAGA core, and face determined resistance all across American culture and society.

The Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision is sweeping. Trump claimed extraordinarily broad tariff authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, citing its grant of authority to “regulate … importation.” But as the majority notes, that simply does not constitute an authority to tax—the statute doesn’t even include the word “tariffs.”

The ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts is scathing on this point. It declares that Trump read “regulate” and “importation” to somehow grant him “the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time.” It concludes that “regulate” and “importation” are words that “cannot bear such weight.”

    You know all the “consultants” and “pundunces” will publicly deride and laugh at Kamala Harris endorsing Jasmine Crockett. They will claim it’s just one loser endorsing another loser.

    But privately inside, they are all punching the air, fearful The Blacks will activate like Voltron and vote.

    He instantly gets loud applause and walks up to supporters to take photographs. He looks happy, healthy and as vibrant as ever.

    I’m not an expert in this authority but am I understanding correctly that this would mean that any company which has ANY contract with the U.S. military (Google, Microsoft, etc…) is now required to immediately cancel their Claude subscriptions and must divest from Anthropic?
