Congress, do your job! "No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State" - U.S. Constitution

The perverting effect of money.

That's How The Light Gets In youtu.be/-vKONRcAJnk?...

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

WSMV: “400+ workers losing their jobs after automotive manufacturer Adient announced permanent closure of 2 facilities in Tennessee— in Maury & Henderson Counties...” The CEO had said tariffs would be a problem. We’ve asked if they impacted this decision. www.wsmv.com/2025/04/27/o...

Hell of a 100 days for the Trump crime family

John Oliver on the administration's tariff math: "It'd be like trying to figure out the square footage of your home by dividing your phone number by your dog's age."

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

The last time the US set tariffs this high, it was 1930 -- and it sparked a global trade war that caused international trade to PLUMMET. By 66%.

U.S. tariffs will approach levels not seen since the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which incited a global trade war and deepened the Great Depression. Also note, no tariffs placed on Russia by Putin’s Whore Krasnov!

Stock market crashing

Walz: It's like trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

The US stock market has lost over $2 trillion in the last 20 minutes. Nice, nice. Nice.

Trump is following through on his promise to lower prices!

Damn, the Onion is getting dark. I thought it was supposed to be satire.
