Michelangelo Signorile (@msignorile.bsky.social)
You can read Trump's bonkers ramblings many ways, so this could be totally off. But it sounds to me like they're worried about RFK, and he ordering him to approve the covid shots. But he's giving RFK cover, blaming it on drug companies supposedly not sharing data.

Wow, would love for an actual journalist to ask Trump what he thinks of Lutnick betting big on the tariffs being thrown out, and making a fortune. Also wonder if Trump kids--and Trump himself, through them--are doing the same thing.
Michelangelo Signorile (@msignorile.bsky.social)
Times has consistently reported that Trump attacked the tariff ruling by "HIGHLY PARTISAN" court but doesn't point out the 7 in the majority include judges appointed by both Bushes and Reagan, and 2 of the 4 in the minority are Obama appointees. Not partisan. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/u...

So appeals court strikes down tariffs but leaves in place pending Trump appeal to SCOTUS. Does that mean, if SCOTUS upholds lower courts and throws out tariffs, that Americans can sue for the billions of dollars collected? What a scam this whole thing is. Stop the tariffs now if unconstitutional.
