AltPressSec @altpresssec.altgov.info · 27/06/2025WH presser shifted from SCOTUS decisions but bizarre ramblings w/no basis in fact continue. Claims that tariffs brought in “hundreds of millions of dollars” just don’t add up. Threats and chaos loom large but most countries’ tariffs still on hold, delayed, or w/drawn. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/26/t...cnbc.comTrump trade deadlines in July 'not critical': White House"Perhaps it could be extended, but that's a decision for the president to make," Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt said of the tariff extension deadlines. 3136
AltPressSec @altpresssec.altgov.info · 27/06/2025Speaking of which… the Regime’s presser is an embarrassing display of bravado & full-blown misinformation at work. They are claiming a victory that has not yet been won. Not one federal judge has come close to validating the Regime’s substantive position on eliminating birthright citizen. 1184
AltPressSec @altpresssec.altgov.info · 27/06/2025With Trump v CASA, SCOTUS handed the Regime a first down… maybe even a TD. But we’re a long way from the final whistle, folks. Stretch your legs, grab a snack, & reapply that sunscreen. Whatever you do, don’t give away the win! The fight to protect birthright citizenship is far from over. #SCOTUS 2194
