Donald Trump once told America he understood beef better than anyone else. He launched Trump Steaks as “The World’s Greatest Steaks.” Two months later, Sharper Image dumped them. Its CEO said: “We literally sold almost no steaks.” Now we’re trusting HIM to flood America with cheaper foreign beef?

🏛️ LOSS: The Arkansas Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit to put a measure before voters this November that would stop lawmakers from overturning constitutional amendments passed by voters. Not only did the court disagree — it dismissed the lawsuit without explaining why.

Supporters argued that such a minor bureaucratic mistake — which state officials could have, but didn’t, correct — shouldn’t justify silencing thousands of Arkansan voices.

Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canadian goods just took effect—Maine is going to feel it hard. Its economy is deeply intertwined with Canada: blueberries, lobster, lumber, paper mills. These tariffs raise costs & threaten jobs across the state. Susan Collins won’t stand up to Trump and fight to stop them.

Traditionally, taking a case to the Supreme Court means there’s a dispute among different judges’ rulings. When it comes to the DOJ’s voter roll crusade, there is no dispute: the department has overstepped its legal authority. "All of the judges are saying the same thing," Marc Elias says.

Trump’s 50% tariffs just landed on nearly $30 BILLION in Canadian goods — from lumber to hockey sticks. Guess who pays the tariffs? AMERICAN importers. That means higher costs for American builders, retailers and families. Trump did it anyway. Worst dealmaker ever.

My unsolicited advice to Republicans for the midterms is to spend every day from now until the election talking about Fauci & Covid. Maybe even promise more Fauci hearings if you retain the majority. Let Rand Paul speak in every swing district/state. Should be a winning formula.
