It’s a dog-eat-dog world:

Elon Musk’s younger brother has launched an extraordinary public attack on Donald Trump after the President issued retaliatory tariffs on the world last week.

Kimbal Musk, 52 – a businessman and restaurateur – owns The Kitchen Restaurant Group and is a sitting board member of Tesla.

Now, Kimbal has hit out at Trump’s tariffs, deeming the retaliatory action a “structural, permanent tax on the American consumer”.

Taking his criticism one step further, he branded the Republican the “most high tax American President in generations”.

…

“Through his tariff strategy, Trump has implemented a structural, permanent tax on the American consumer.

“Even if he is successful in bringing jobs on shore through the tariff tax, prices will remain high and the tax on consumption will remain the form of higher prices because we are simply not as good at making all things,” he added.

According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt [Bimbo #1], you, too, could get a one-way ticket to a prison in El Salvador:

Responding to a question at Tuesday’s daily briefing, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned President Donald Trump’s “idea” to potentially deport “violent” and “heinous” U.S. citizens, adding a seemingly important caveat: “If it’s legal.”

Reason: Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Claim That He Can Summarily Deport Anyone He Describes As an ‘Alien Enemy’

Posted on by

!!!!!!!!!!

The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously agreed that alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have a due process right to challenge President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to summarily deport them.

…

As the Court’s unsigned order in Trump v. J.G.G. notes, “‘it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law’ in the context of removal proceedings,” meaning “the detainees are entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard ‘appropriate to the nature of the case.'” Specifically, the majority says, “AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.”

That order decisively rejects the Trump administration’s attempt to deport suspected gang members without judicial review.

Irish Star: Karoline Leavitt [Bimbo #1] gives baffling response when asked about massive tariff on Madagascar

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed concerns about the impact of Trump’s sweeping tariffs on low-income countries with high poverty rates, such as Madagascar.

“The reciprocal tariff rates were implemented by countries were focused on the monetary tariff those countries imposed on the United States, and the non-monetary barriers, making it harder for America to export to these countries,” Leavitt explained.

But in reality:

Madagascar, which has a trade surplus with the United States, is now facing a hefty 47% tariff on all its exports to the US, including vanilla. Despite Madagascar’s minimal dependence on U.S. exports, the steep tariff essentially aims to curb American consumption of over a thousand tons of vanilla annually.

According to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who expressed his views on CNBC, Madagascar was accused of “picking on us.”

Now This: Republicans Just Blocked an Amendment Protecting Married Women’s Right to Vote

Republicans Just Blocked an Amendment Protecting Married Women’s Right to Vote
On April 1, Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D. (D-OR), introduced an amendment to the SAVE Act aimed at protecting married women from being penalized under the legislation. Republicans voted it down. The SAVE Act would require voters to provide documentation, like birth certificates or passports, to prove citizenship. Critics say it’s a thinly veiled attempt to target married women who adopted their spouse’s last name, which wouldn’t match the name on their birth certificate. If passed, the SAVE Act could block millions of these women from voting — and Republicans refuse to acknowledge that’s exactly the point. Claiming to boost election integrity, Republicans introduced the SAVE Act to stop noncitizens from voting, despite overwhelming evidence that incidents of this are incredibly rare. Instead, it’s a not-so-subtle move that disproportionately impacts women, military personnel, seniors, and other groups who might struggle to obtain the required documents.

Alternet: ‘Caught in limbo’: Decorated Iraq War veteran now target of Trump deportations

What a wonderful way to that a veteran for his service to our country! Not!

A man who served in the U.S. military and survived two combat deployments to Iraq is now at risk of being deported to a country that is refusing to accept him.

Rolling Stone columnist Michael Embrich wrote Wednesday about the case of Army veteran Jose Barco, who is now in deportation proceedings even though he’s an honorably discharged Purple Heart recipient diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. According to Embrich, Barco is “caught in limbo” as he faces deportation to Venezuela, despite not having visited the country since he was a toddler.

Barco — whose father fled Cuba for Venezuela before bringing him to the U.S. at age four — received his Purple Heart medal after an explosion launched him into a wall, resulting in severe burns and a traumatic brain injury. In 2004, he served in Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, and saw frequent combat as his deployment was during the height of the Iraqi insurgency.

Embrich went on to write about how Barco was nearly naturalized, as he got help with his U.S. citizenship application from his commanding officer. However, Barco’s file got lost in the application process, and he had no way to track it in the system. As Embrich explained, Barco had a “straightforward path to naturalization” that ended up becoming “an invisible trap door leading to exile.”

The Independent: Kristi Noem [Bimbo #2] roasted for her gun handling skills in ICE photo-op

What do you expect when give a bimbo a gun? To her credit, she was successful in shooting her own puppy and a pet goat.

Is that a puppy on the right, or a goat?

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is being blasted online for posing while pointing her rifle at an officer’s face in a new social media video.

In a 20-second video posted to X on Tuesday, Noem, who once boasted about killing her dog, stands between two Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers as she wields a gun. Social media users flooded the comments section of her clip to warn about the dangers of holding her weapon in that way.

…

Democratic New Mexico Sen. Martin Heinrich went in a different direction, seemingly referring to her past claim of shooting her 14-month-old wirehaired pointer: “Kristi Noem preparing to break down the door of your local pet shelter.”

Another X user followed suit, writing: “Kristi Noem got the dude on the right confused with a puppy.”
