#usopen #NaomiOsaka #osaka 🎾‼️ THE U.S. OPEN appeared to have shunned Osaka today, in my opinion... 🎾‼️ The U.S. Open chose to highlight Jovic vs Eala over Osaka's match; why is that? Could it be the braids? Or, could it be her brashness? 🤔

I hope Nolan Wells family sue the hairline off of Officer Tatum. Just like clockwork he’s always the contrarian when it comes to a black body being killed at the hands of a yt person. He did the same thing to Sandra Bland, and his coverage on the Karmelo Anthony case was pathetic as well.

qasimrashid Whatever you think of the Karmelo Anthony trial, you should be calling for at minimum 2X his sentence for an adult who killed two people. But funny how those happy about the Karmelo Anthony conviction are silent on Jason Anthony Scott conviction of only 6 months for a double murder.

ohmygod they actually did it, it's 338 tariffs, holy fuck www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Imposes Additional Tariffs on Canada
The White House
July 20, 2026

DEFENDING AMERICAN WORKERS AND ENSURING FAIR TRADE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed three Proclamations pursuant to Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose additional 50% tariffs on certain goods of Canada in response to Canada’s discriminatory treatment of American products. By doing so, President Trump is offsetting the burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada’s discriminatory treatment of U.S. commerce and is leveling the playing field for crucial American exports—cars, alcohol, and dairy.

ok quick why 338 matters: never-previously-used section of the smoot-hawley tariff act. allows the President to impose up to 50% duties on imports from countries that, in his view discriminate against American commerce. no time limit. unclear on judicial/congressional review.

this is basically what I was worried about, that he'd have a tantrum and grab at some new authority to not just return us to the previously imposed IEEPA tariff rates, but something like 'liberation day' or worse (using section 338 imo most likely, but who knows)
