A #Florida #Democrat secured a stunning #election victory in Trump’s backyard.

Democrat #EmilyGregory won a Florida special election Tuesday, flipping a #state #legislative district that is home to #MarALago, the Palm Beach estate that #Trump counts as his residence.

Trump had endorsed Gregory’s rival, Jon Maples. In a social media post Monday, he urged voters to turn out, saying Maples was backed “by so many of my Palm Beach County friends.”

Democrat Emily Gregory wins Florida race to represent Mar a Lago

Democrat Emily Gregory has won a special election for a Florida state House seat, flipping a district that is home to President Donald Trump’s estate, Mar-a-Lago. The Republican president endorsed Gregory’s rival, Jon Maples. Republican Mike Caruso, who resigned from the seat to become Palm Beach County’s clerk, won the district by 19 percentage points in 2024. Trump won the district by about 10 percentage points in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats are celebrating the victory as the latest sign voters are turning against Trump and the GOP ahead of the midterm elections in November.

Of course a bunch of the fraud is #legislative and not just #taxation. But a whole lot of the legislation aims directly at advantageous taxation that nobody except for the wealthy can take advantage of. It's total #class #discrimination. Brutally obvious.

https://theconversation.com/trump-tariff-ruling-shows-top-courts-serve-as-last-line-of-defence-against-strongman-rule-276571. Excellent stuff, @ChrisMayLA6. "Trump is a would-be 'strongman' leader. Like all #strongmen, his aim is to concentrate #political #power in himself & those closest to him. Since returning to the #WhiteHouse in January 2025, #Trump has preferred to rule by way of #executive order rather than through the #legislative process. He has done so despite his #Republican party controlling both houses of #Congress."
Trump tariff ruling shows top courts serve as last line of defence against strongman rule

Courts have pushed back against attempts by leaders to bypass the legislature outside the US too.

#Trump posted that he was making the decision “Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday,” by #SCOTUS. 🙄

Cuz, you know, he told us he has excellent reading comprehension 🤣.

#Trump announced Saturday that he would raise his new, global #tariff to 15%, a day after he took steps to replicate some of the punishing duties that had been struck down by #SCOTUS.

Trump announced the change in a post on social media, & said the #tariffs would take effect immediately, as he signaled anew that he would press ahead with his #trade war despite the legal ruling.

Trump Says He Will Raise Global Tariff to 15 Percent

The move signaled that the president would press ahead with steep global import taxes despite the legal setback from the Supreme Court.

“I think it persuaded some, but we have this ruling now that so clearly puts the power back in Congress’s hands, the House’s hands,” Bacon said. “We have to stand up on our own two feet & use these authorities, because that’s what the founders intended.”

He, too, posted a screenshot of Justice #Gorsuch’s conclusion on social media on Friday, calling his homage to the role of the #legislative branch “perfect words.”

The few expressions of pushback that have emerged have largely been futile, & instigated by #Republicans who are set to #retire at the end of this congressional session or cut rare maverick streaks, such as Sen #RandPaul & Rep #ThomasMassie, both Kentucky #libertarians who posted Justice #Gorsuch’s words admiringly on social media.
