These words by Supreme Justice Gorsuch should be printed, in full, on tomorrow’s front pages.
For those who think it important for the Nation to impose more tariffs, I understand that today's decision will be dis-appointing. All I can offer them is that most major decisions affecting the rights and responsibilities of the American people (including the duty to pay taxes and tariffs) are funneled through the legislative process for a reason. Yes, legislating can be hard and take time. And, yes, it can be tempting to bypass Congress when some pressing problem arises. But the deliberative nature of the legislative process was the whole point of its design. Through that process, the Nation can tap the combined wisdom of the people's elected representatives, not just that of one faction or man. There, deliberation tempers impulse, and compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions. And because laws must earn such broad support to survive the legislative pro-cess, they tend to endure, allowing ordinary people to plan their lives in ways they cannot when the rules shift from day to day. In all, the legislative process helps ensure each of us has a stake in the laws that govern us and in the Nation's future. For some today, the weight of those virtues is apparent. For others, it may not seem so obvious. But if history is any guide, the tables will turn and the day will come when those disappointed by today's result will appreciate the legislative process for the bulwark of liberty it is.

Remember, the MPs defecting to Reform UK know exactly who Nigel Farage is, and what he stands for.

This is true. The husband just found me having a little cry in my studio. He’s making me a hot Vimto and I’m having a word with myself. Have a look at my website and please repost. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk Thank you.

Combination of too little supply work (bird flu yet to kick in, I suppose) and late payment on invoices has led me, among other things, to review subscriptions. If you unsubscribe to Apple TV they immediately offer you two months at £4.99 (half price). So I’d do that if I were you.

Yeah don’t make changes just for the sake of it. Make the changes because Aaronson couldn’t hit the goal if it fell on him, make the changes b/c we’re giving up silly goals on defense & because you have an inconsistent player in Stach and one of our best midfielders in Tanaka on the bench. #LUFC

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life. And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.

There's nothing like a poem about a lazy, drunken evening to make someone from 1000 years ago feel like a contemporary. (Poem by Li Qingzhao, trans. Wendy Chen)
As in a Dream

Remember that day 
spent on the stream, 
watching the sunset glaze 
the pavilion.

So drunk, we could not find 
our way back.

It was late when we had enough. 
We turned the boat around

and were caught, accidentally, in the deep 
tangle of lotus roots.

Rowing through, 
rowing through -

startling, from the banks,
herons.

Alternative options (I suggest a combo): 1. steer people to be less fucking racist; 2. throw all this effort and more into stemming the main causes of migration: wars and climate catastrophe. But, as always, alas www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
A Guardian headline that reads: "Labour must act to close asylum hotels or face Reform poll gains, ex-minister warns"

Got six minutes to spare? Do yourself an acoustic favour and give this a listen. (Oh, and find someone who looks at you the way the backing singer with the pink hair looks at Richard).

Why is the official inflation rate so LOW? If it were based on my “basket of goods”, it would be well over 10%.
