Three big things happened this week:
- The US Court of International Trade struck down most of the new tariffs Trump has imposed, while putting major restrictions on the tariffs he can impose in the future.
- Ukraine launched an incredible drone strike thousands of miles from its border, destroying bombers on three Russian air bases.
- Elon Musk had his last day as a “special government employee”, prompting reflections on what the whole DOGE thing has accomplished.
The featured post will delve into the court ruling on tariffs, leaving Ukraine and Musk for the weekly summary. Expect to see the featured post around 10 EDT, and the summary around noon.

fElon Musk showed up for his firing announcement on Celebrity President higher than the moon.
When adults manage to retake our federal government from the arrested-development vandals, everything he touched needs to be thoroughly audited and prosecuted. DOGE was/continues to be nothing but an illegal operation to steal data, insert malicious code, subvert legislation passed by Congress and signed by the Executive, and pimp Musk’s own companies, both at home and abroad.
The criminality of the havoc and destruction Musk simply bought his way into leading must be addressed – justice and our nation’s future demand it, Making clear Congress’ complicity in allowing this to happen must also happen. His mission was waste, fraud, and abuse rather than their elimination, and the final cost to our country will take decades to finally total.
