NEWS: The DOJ lawyer who tried--and failed--to indict 6 Dem lawmakers over military video runs an active dance photography studio & worked for US Atty Pirro decades ago. Both prosecutors on case had no prior federal backgrounds as experts were walled off. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/pi…

Scathing Andy McCarthy piece here: "More even than capricious tariffs, the president’s signature policy is bullying lawfare — the tin-pot dictator-style exploitation of law-enforcement power to punish political enemies and scapegoats and to settle old scores."

"In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man's capricious, destructive governance." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure

David French Scott Gottlieb wrote about how his infection with Epstein-Barr led to cancer. We, as a country, are thumbing our noses at a science that could *prevent* cancer. And because we are such a large country, we’re dooming the rest of the world along with us.

It's astonishing that we're building up for a significant military clash, and Congress isn't involved, no real case is being made to the public, and the average American has no clue. If this gets serious, it will be a shock for lots of people.

In all seriousness when I read this I first started to laugh and then a split-second later thought, you know, they'll probably actually do this or something just like it

New data shows US is the only major destination in the world to see a decline in international travellers in 2025. So far 2026 getting worse. Foreign airlines cutting the number of US-bound flights. Disney warning of “international visitation headwinds” nytimes.com/2026/02/20/tra…

In case you’re wondering what happened with the bridge to Canada and why Trump suddenly decided to shut it down, the guy who operates the competing bridge gave $1 million to a MAGA group and then met with Lutnick. Lutnick called Trump right after the meeting and Trump made the

The explicit rationale for this major, financially disruptive import tax hike is that it really sticks it to the Supreme Court.

Seems hard for the President to rely on the 15 percent statute (sec 122) when his DOJ in our case told the Court the opposite: “Nor does [122] have any obvious application here, where the concerns the President identified in declaring an emergency arise from trade deficits, which

It's always money and it's always Russia... One of Trump's best friends, managing Vladimir Putin's money, at least in a position of cooperation to produce copious amounts of blackmail material. Most horrifically, not even a surprise.

Last night, Donald Trump re-issued his executive order suspending the de minimis tariff exemption on mail-order purchases form abroad. It invokes IEEPA, even though the court struck down IEEPA as a basis for *any* tariff. Trump is already defying the Supreme Court.
