RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.
Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.
The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.
Not clear why Johnson is still holding this vote open

Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls.

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds."
This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

#KITM @demfromct.bsky.social Permission structure.
I’ve spent my career studying how regimes justify the unjustifiable. So when a civilian driver is labeled a “domestic terrorist,” I know what that language is doing — building a permission structure for violence. Minneapolis isn’t just a tragedy. It’s a warning. I break it down in my new essay.
A Killing, a Cover‑Up, and the Country We’re Becoming
What we tolerate now will define us.

Judges have long defaulted to a posture of trust toward the federal government, but under Trump that is changing, and a new set of legal possibilities is emerging.

IMO this video from @prestonstew.bsky.social is a good summary of of Trumps admin approach to "negotiations" regarding the war in Ukraine.

People forget now how Ron Johnson and Rick Scott were the real proof of concept for running dull-witted tycoons with no discernible experience or skills as right-wing populist politicians
Ron Johnson: "Even more deviously, they trained activists to obstruct justice, encouraged them to put themselves in harm's way, they got two martyrs, then they used their martyrs as their excuse to try to defund law enforcement"

Rewind your #KITM and erase the “correction.” It was a personal vehicle after all, and we were right the first time.
Holy shit. The Chevy Tahoe Border Patrol used to slam Marimar Martinez before shooting her was the personal vehicle of the officer involved, not a rental and not CBP's--and he drove it back to Maine.

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I can't tell you how many horrible things have been going on here since we elected a Trump friendly government in Apr via low voter turnout, as happened in the US.
But today, after having us under a State of Emergency for months, they've called out all armed forces. 1/3
