I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

I've upgraded, everyone! Now I can finally listen to music on the go. Jealous? 😌🎶

Brilliant news. I'm quite emotional. Govt has agreed to investigate Council Tax rapid debt collection escalation that is catastrophic for millions. Miss one MONTH'S payment and within six weeks you can have baliffs forcing you to pay for the YEAR plus £100s admin charges.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Here's the great jazz pianist Keith Jarrett—who turned 80 last week—performing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in 1984. This video has a musical transcription on screen if you want to try to follow along with his insanely creative reharmonizations. See you around.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

From "Lock Her Up" to "Mexico will pay for a wall" to "I will end Ukraine war in 24 hours" and "Tariffs will reduce inflation" WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS IDIOT? And if you do WHY????

Can't wait!

Good morning Have a terrific Tuesday

Pathetic.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Trump is causing irreparable damage, he’s effectively destroying our economy, government, and ultimately our country…

The bond market shows capital flight from the United States, with people selling off US debt. It’s the opposite of what usually happens during economic turmoil, when people buy US debt because they think it’s the safest asset in the world. The US-led global economic system is dead. By suicide.

Using back-of-the-envelope* calculations, it looks as if the average US tariff rate will hit 32.6% by tomorrow morning, dragging the country back to 1872, when imports amounted to a fall smaller share of the economy. *There's really no point in doing them any other way right now

Yeah...so there's this...

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Fuck all you GOP traitorous cowards, with your lips stuck to his ass, supporting the destruction of the US, and lying to protect him Even tho you know what he's doing is wrong. Even when he is defeated, and he will be, we will never forget you and what you did.

25th Amendment when?

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!

😳

It is possible that the #FantaFūhrer is only imposing tariffs in this random and arbitrary way: 1. Because he enjoys being the centre of attention 2. Because he enjoys causing pain and discomfort 3. To create a distraction whilst he steals your money 4. All of the above #Kakistocracy

Today will forever be known as Orange Monday. 🍊 #StockMarket #MarketCrash #BlackMonday #DonaldTrump #OrangeMonday

Let them know we're getting fed up

Did anyone tell Trump that his so-called mandate to lower prices didn’t mean our retirement accounts? Now he’s doubling down, threatening a 104% total tariff on China. When malignant narcissism meets unbridled ignorance, bad things happen. Who knew?

"His office leadership instructed appointees to act as servers for a multicourse meal. They dispatched a US Park Police helicopter for his personal transportation. On at least one occasion, a staffer was told to remake the cookies because the batch was subpar..." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

If we had addressed Trump's mental problems we wouldn't have to deal with our economic problems think of it that way
