We don’t blow up boats off Miami because 25% of the time suspicion is wrong.
We shouldn’t do it off Venezuela either. These are small outboards with no fentanyl and no path to Florida.
We can’t just kill indiscriminately because we are not at war. It’s summary execution!
Everyone gets a trial because sometimes, the system gets it wrong. Even the worst of the worst in our country get due process.
The bottom line is that execution without process is not justice, and blowing up foreign ships is a recipe for chaos.

The Trump Administration’s just announced big tariffs on imports from Canada, China and Mexico are a big mistake. If these tariffs on well over one-third of all imported goods are quickly and fully implemented and remain in place for more than a few months, they will do significant economic damage. Particularly if these counties retaliate with their own tariffs and other trade actions, which seems likely. To make this more concrete, if these tariffs remain in place, they will increase consumer price inflation by an estimated 0.54 percentage points by this time next year, making it tough for the Fed to cut rates further this year. And if our trading partners do retaliate tit-for-tat, the resulting trade war will reduce real GDP growth by 0.63 percentage points by this time next year. And to what end?

Trump starts pointless trade war.
Canada threatens to retaliate by withholding electricity from the US.
Trump’s press sec says this is fine because Jesus didn’t have electricity.
Literally the dumbest possible timeline.

Can I just point out that Veronica Ewers got back on her bike and completed the stage with a broken collarbone? Yes, I know this happens. No, I will never get my head around it. Recover well Veronica.
Veronica Ewers will not start stage 7 of the #TDFF2023 due to a broken collarbone sustained during her crash on stage 6.
She will travel home tomorrow to rest and recover. Heal up. 💕
Even though I’m a middle-aged man who studied French in college, listening to this week’s Stay Tuned with @PreetBharara made me want to enroll at Univ of Rochester just so I could take classes taught by @AdamFrank4

At Thomas Dale HS they have a big kids art show. One class had to create social messages about things going on in the world 👇👇👇. Kids too want drivers to slow down and pay attention

Watching billionaires behaving foolishly or destructively is a reminder to those of us who are pro-free market that capitalism deserves only two cheers, that it requires democratic regulation--and that there's a reason many decent and thoughtful people have been social democrats.

1/ The question every Republican now has to answer is whether they support replacing the Constitution & our laws with Trump. That's what he's called for-a takeover. If we let them get away with silence, then the frogs are already boiled. Yes it's a Sunday but this is urgent.

A twice impeached former president who lost badly at the polls in 2020 has called for our Constitution & laws to be suspended 2 years later. I believer the proper term for this would be, a coup.
Where is the outrage? The condemnation from the party he is still the leader of?

The Federalist Society claims to defend the Constitution. Donald Trump, the ex-president with whom the Society worked so closely, has just attacked the Constitution in an incendiary way. Do the Federalist Society or its members have a word to say in defense of our Constitution?
