This isn’t reaching many people but the shit economy is. Will Trump be able to cheat enough in enough places?

Oregon has sued Trump 36 times this year, a 6-fold increase over his first term, saving the state billions.
“These lawsuits have saved Oregon over $3.3 billion in federal grants and federal funding to our state agencies or state universities,” Buehler said. “It does cost taxpayers money to file these lawsuits, but it’s well worth it because of how much money is saved. The cost is just an infinitesimally small part compared to the benefit to Oregon.”

Michigan cherry industry hurting because of…Trump policies.
“But nutrition and local food programs fruit and vegetable growers depend on were slashed, and his trade policies chilled demand from top export partners, according to government data and academic researchers.”
…
“In the first half of this year, as Trump’s trade wars reignited, U.S. fresh fruit exports fell 17% in volume and 15% in value. U.S. shipments to China never fully recovered after Trump’s 2018 trade war. Sales to Canada also fell 18% by volume in the first six months.
“There’s little appetite for U.S. products in Canada,” said Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.”

Focus, on today’s losses my friend. Stop borrowing trouble and giving your power away. Maybe people will take talking points back to MAGA. Maybe Dems will be more hopeful and want to join the resistance. You can rain on this, but we’ll keep posting. Carry on resisters!

A Penn Budget Lab analysis finds President Trump’s immigration policy will increase deficits by nearly $1 trillion over the next decade — even with the new funds allocated to the effort in the recently passed tax law. The study also finds the law will reduce GDP by 3.3% over the next 10 years.

Judge Halts Ten Commandments in Texas Schools

“A Texas federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked from taking full effect a new state law requiring public schools to display donated posters of the Ten Commandments in classrooms,” the Texas Tribune reports.

New York Times: “The law, passed earlier this year by the Republican-controlled Legislature, mirrors one in Louisiana that was declared ‘plainly unconstitutional’ in June by a panel of judges from the conservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans. A federal judge also blocked a nearly identical measure in Arkansas this month.”
