NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Sadly, many parades were canceled because of worries about ICE raids. MAGA and Donald Trump don’t want us to have nice things.

@realtoddstashwick.bsky.social Just in case you have an extra $400k laying around 🫠. In any event, Happy Star Wars Day! (I’d have to write every second of every day and still not have enough for this prop, but it was still fun to write the article). www.cbr.com/star-wars-da...

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

I’m grateful the Shapiro family is safe. It’s despicable for this to happen as the Jewish community is celebrating Passover. Political violence has no place in our country.

The irony of Americans electing a fascist because they were more concerned about getting lower grocery prices than saving democracy and then they end up losing democracy AND getting higher grocery prices 🤦🏽‍♂️

Dear media, It’s not: “President Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.” It’s: “Kleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve ‘Third Term’ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He ‘Swore’ An Oath To Defend.” You’re welcome.

Fact/Reality Check: None of the top TEN leading killers in the US are infectious diseases. Meaning, RFK Jr’s idea of “refocusing” the CDC on just infectious disease might fool some, but is an unserious and nonsensical idea. Empathy for the many HHS workers suffering under this regime.
