In June, Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. A month later, European diamonds got an exemption from Trump’s tariffs. We don’t know where the ring is today. Where did it go? Did Trump keep it for himself?

US Trade deficit soared in Aug to the highest since the initial tariff push. With global oil prices increasing inflation and the US continuing to antagonize traditional trading partners, our trade deficit is going the opposite way that they wanted. www.reuters.com/business/us-... #tariffs #deficit

To quote a @chrislhayes.bsky.social jape at the Roberts Court: "They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one."

Steve Vladeck, a professor a Georgetown Law, writes up breaking developments from the Supreme Court. The last post in the three-post thread is the kicker, for our purpose here.

"#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the third-country removals case; clears way for Trump admin. to continue removing non-citizens without a full chance to litigate the conditions in those countries (while also taking up the full merits appeal).

"Link: [URL of a supremecourt.gov PDF]

"By my math, the order was filed 11 minutes after the Trump administration's reply brief came in."

The SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.

individual voting in an election for Federal office shall present an eligible photo identification document.
(b) PRESENTATION

VOTING.—In the case of an individual who votes in-person, the eligible photo identification document shall
(A) be a tangible
(not digital) document; and
(B) be presented at the time of voting.

(c) ELIGIBLE PHOTo
IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT.—For purposes of this section:
(1) IN GENERAL.—The
term "eligible photo identification document" means any document which
(A) is issued by an authority described in paragraph (2); and
(B) meets the requirements of paragraph (3).

(3) REQUIREMENTS.—A
document meets the
requirements of this paragraph if the document contains
(A) a photograph of the individual identified on the document;
(B) an indication on the front of the document that the individual identified on the document is a United States citizen; and
(C) either
(1) an identification number issues by the entity described in paragraph
(2)(A); or
(11) the last four digits of the social security number of the individual identified on the document.

(4) USE OF ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTATION.—
(A) USE OF ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTATION.—A document which fails to meet the requirements of paragraph (3)(B) shall not fail to be treated as an eligible photo identification document if the document is presented together with another identification document that indicates the individual is a United States citizen.
