Democrats: It’s more than “just the economy, stupid”
Tariffs, ICE raids, city invasions and brutalizing immigrants have also become kitchen table issues

Lest anyone think that Donald Trump is the only president to muse about the benefits of a dictatorship, recall that the previous GOP president, George W. Bush, did as well.

Always time for a new Digby.

The M.O. of the extremist Republican Party: find the lines, cross them, dare people to push them back. Courts have. So now the GOP is going after the courts,” I wrote ahead of the 2016 election. That was near prescient.

The U.S. Court of International Trade on Wednesday slapped down His Majesty’s tariffs as outside his authority. Whaddya figure? The ruling was unanimous.

Strong green glass bottle 1734 of Dr Romney St Albans England. 100 years after its invention by Sir Kenelm Digby glass bottles were becoming common. Cheaper than Venetian glass but still expensive enough to have your name attached. You would go with your bottles to the wine merchant to fill with wine or cider of your choice from the barrel. #cider #wine #glassbottle #Pepys #Digby
