NEWS: A federal court just invalidated Trump’s ”Liberation Day" tariffs, ruling he exceeded his authority under IEEPA. The court said Trump can’t bypass Congress to set trade policy and that these tariffs are unconstitutional and void.

Get ready for him to rage. The whole reason he has been in love with tariffs is it's the one thing he was told he can do without anyone else interfering. Now that everything he's doing is failing, hes def gonna need a diaper change after this...

Trump's tariffs were declared illegal today. The revenue from the tariffs were to fund tax breaks for the wealthy in the big beautiful bill. No tariffs = no tariff revenue. So bond yields are going to go up because investors want a bigger return to buy U.S. debt. That will mean stocks will go down.

A huge slap in his stupid orange face. So what did his "Liberation Day" actually achieve? He pissed off everyone outside the US, temporarily crashed the markets, drove up the interest on Government Bonds and received next to no benefits or trade concessions. In other words, nothing...

If he wasn't such a narcissist buffoon then you might think there was a plan to any of this. Knowing what we know about him, there clearly wasn't. It's just a case of an angry old moron making rash decisions because he isn't capable of understanding any sort of nuance.

Here’s the headline from the opinion: “The IEEPA does not authorize any of the worldwide retaliatory tariffs. The worldwide tariffs exceed any authority granted to Trump by the IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs.” Boom. 3/x

My response when zi saw this earlier: “This is a big deal. We may yet escape Trump’s tariff hellscape. I am certain that this ruling will survive appeal…even to SCOTUS.”

“Tariff wars are easy to win!” I called TACO-Trump a liar and an idiot when he said that. But I see now how it’s an accurate description. He just wasn’t specific about the fact that he was talking about it from his counterpart’s perspective. I stand corrected…😏

I really wish people would pay attention. They are assembling. White Nationalists, Minutmen, Patriot Front, Proud Boys. They are calling for a revolution! They want to overthrow the government. This has ALWAYS been the plan. They know project 2025 will never survive without one.

1/ Ben, A bunch of your senators came to Canada to "patch things up". I left them with a thread but I still don't think they understand the whole picture. In Florida for example, Canadians are not welcome in many restaurants and are approached by MAGA on the streets.🧵🔽 bsky.app/profile/did:...

I was glad to be in Ottawa today for meetings with @mark-carney.bsky.social, members of his cabinet and Canadian business leaders alongside @shaheen.senate.gov, Senator Cramer, @klobuchar.senate.gov and @welch.senate.gov because our relationship with Canada is invaluable.

2/ Here is the thread I left them. They don't even appear to understand that our dairy is setup to be domestic!🔚 bsky.app/profile/tric...

1/ You really have a lot of nerve coming after you confirmed a sleazy Project2025 contributor as Ambassador to Canada when you know full well that we're going through our own Maple MAGA hell!Hoekstra had a reputation for partying with the far right when he was stationed in the Netherlands as well.🧵🔽

Does that mean *anything* is going to change, though? How do the tariffs get 'un-done', when the people who implemented them knew they were illegal from the get-go?
