Trump’s Tariffs Are Basically All Illegal, Federal Appeals Court Rules

/

A federal appeals court on Friday invalidated vast portions of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, ruling that the president lacked the authority to invoke an emergency law to unleash tariffs on nearly all goods from nearly every country importing to the United States. The ruling, which upholds a lower court’s opinion, concluded that Trump unlawfully […]

Antarctica Is in Extreme Peril

/

This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Seen from space, Antarctica looks so much simpler than the other continents—a great sheet of ice set in contrast to the dark waters of the encircling Southern Ocean. Get closer, though, and you’ll find not a simple cap of frozen water, […]

Trump’s Mental Health Plan: Defund, Incarcerate, Disappear

/

When President Donald Trump tries to defend his mass deportation agenda, he claims, without evidence, that immigrants are entering the United States from “mental institutions and insane asylums.”  When he wants to insult people—like Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Mo.), or former Vice President Kamala Harris—he calls them “low IQ,” “deranged,” and […]

Trump Rewards MAGA Attack Dog Attorney General With FBI Post

/

When Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey was sworn into office in 2023, then-Gov.

The “Mini-Trump” Attacking Lisa Cook Had Paperwork Problems of His Own

/

Donald Trump is attempting to seize control of the historically independent Federal Reserve by firing one of its leaders. Not the chair, Jerome Powell—at least not yet. Instead, the president has set his sights on another member of the Fed’s board: economist Lisa Cook, who Trump claimed in a Monday night social media post had […]

“The Most Transparent Administration In History” Refuses to Say Who’s Behind Their Batshit Social Media

/

The way the U.S. government communicates online has shifted dramatically since Donald Trump returned to power on January 20. Before then, for instance, it wasn’t likely that the official White House Twitter/X account would tweet “Go woke, go broke” over a cartoon of the president meant to look like the (original, newly restored) Cracker Barrel […]

LaMonica McIver and the “Lock Her Up” President

Depending on whom you ask, the United States is either sliding into fascism or smack in the middle of it. Either way, it’s not good. But should future historians attempt to identify when this fascist crackdown kicked off in earnest, they may settle on Rep. LaMonica McIver. In May, the Justice Department charged the New […]

In June, Isabelle Brourman took a sketch board and her press pass to immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. She’d heard that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were arresting people after their hearings, and she wanted to document it. Court security wouldn’t let her inside.
