Trump toured Capitol Hill where he insulted Milwaukee, listened to fawning GOP lawmakers sing him “Happy Birthday,” and reportedly floated a radical new idea to eliminate income tax in favor of tariffs. In practice, such a scheme would shift the tax burden away from rich folks and make everyone else pay for it with much more expensive shopping. For the record: the ultra-wealthy have been trying to pitch an elimination of the income tax in favor of an increase in sales tax for a LONG time, and still seem to think we can’t see through their scheme.
Trump’s D.C. visit came as the newly minted felon tries to convince House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to find a way to help Trump overturn his felony conviction. Trump’s phone call to Johnson in the days after the May 31 verdict reportedly included “frequent F-bombs,” according to Politico. Trump ranted about law enforcement officials to his fellow Republicans on Thursday, as House Republicans vowed to fight harder to protect him from prosecutors. Again, this is the group that’s constantly complaining about “weaponization of the federal government” promising to weaponize the federal government on Trump’s behalf.
North Dakota voters passed a first-of-its-kind measure this week that would impose age restrictions on congressional candidates. The state constitutional amendment bans people from running for House or Senate seats in North Dakota “if that person could attain 81 years of age by December 31st of the year immediately preceding the end of the term.” Ninety percent of the Senate is SHAKING right now.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Starbucks on Thursday in a case centered around the firing of seven baristas amid a union organizing campaign in Memphis. The decision could make it harder for labor prosecutors to win court injunctions against employers accused of breaking the law. The ultra-conservative Supreme Court ruled with a mega-corporation and against workers? Well now we’ve seen it all.
Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) ex-husband pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment Wednesday after he was charged in separate altercations involving the congresswoman at a public restaurant in January, and his son at a residence a few days later.
U.S. and European officials agreed to lock up sanctioned Russian assets until Moscow pays reparations for invading Ukraine, clearing the way for a $50 billion loan package for Kyiv at the G7 summit.
American Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich will soon stand trial in Russia on espionage charges, Russian authorities announced Thursday. Gershkovich was arrested in March 2023 while on a reporting trip in Yekaterinburg, and accused of spying for the CIA – accusations that U.S. officials and the WSJ have repeatedly rejected as baseless.
