FiveStack with Dean Blundell & Zev ShalevFiveStack's TACO Edition: From DOGE to Tariffs, Trump's House of Cards Is CrumblingThe American constitutional system flexed its muscles Thursday, delivering crushing blows to Trump's authoritarian overreach. Here's how the rule of law fought back:5️⃣ Federal Courts Demolish Trump's Tariff ScamTwo separate federal courts declared Trump's global tariffs "contrary to law" and "unlawful," with judges calling his emergency justifications "a figment of his own imagination."

Here are the five biggest threats to American democracy:5️⃣ THE RESTAURANT PAYROLL SCAMTax-free tips and overtime sounds great until you realize it creates a massive loophole for restaurants to reclassify regular wages as "tips" to dodge payroll taxes. Workers think they're getting tax-free income while actually losing employer-paid Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment contributions.4️⃣ THE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID...2025-05-221h 00

After 42 years at the helm of America's most respected news program, Owens didn't just quit – he sacrificed his career to sound an alarm.2025-04-2859 min
FiveStack with Dean Blundell & Zev Shalev5 Craziest Facts About Trump's Tariffs* Phony Math - Trump's formula has no logical basis, simply taking trade deficits, dividing by exports, and slashing by half to determine tariff rates. As Krugman noted, "those numbers are gobbledygook."* Russia Exempt --Key countries were suspiciously exempted - Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong face no tariffs while even uninhabited territories like Herd Island (population: zero humans, 2 million penguins) were targeted with tariffs.* American Consumers will foot the bill - Economists project these tariffs will cost American households an estimated $5,000 per year in increased prices on everyday goods - from electronics to school supplies.2025-04-0454 min
