Forget eggs—the cost of coffee is skyrocketing, and folks are noticing. I heard it was coming, so I stocked up weeks ago, but my supply won’t last forever. Trump’s Brazil tariffs are to blame.

Really crucial point in the ruling against Trump's tariffs: The court basically said Trump doesn't have the power to invent emergencies out of thin air. The declaration of fake emergencies is central to Trump's abuses. See this exchange with @ilyasomin.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1958...

Democrats want to keep the 2017 tax cuts for people making <$500,000/yr, and to let taxes on people making >$500,000/yr revert to 2017 levels. This doesn't seem so radical. Indeed, it seems to be what enlightened defenders of democratic capitalism would support.

The House Budget Committee failed to advance the tax bill. Five Republicans joined Dems in voting no: Chip Roy (TX), Ralph Norman (SC), Josh Brecheen (OK), Andrew Clyde (GA) and Lloyd Smucker (PA). GOP no votes cited the cost: the massive tax bill is expected to add $4 trillion to the deficit.

A key through line from the modern conservative movement as it emerged in the 1950s to today’s “counter-revolutionary” Trumpist Right is the anti-leftism as the defining sentiment and project. No limiting principle, just “Whatever it takes to defeat the Left” - that’s the path to extremism.
