I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Trump has signed more than 120 executive orders since taking office. These orders aren’t law, but you wouldn't know that from the headlines.

As DOJ argues that federal courts have no authority to order "any particular acts of diplomacy," I want to remind everyone that SCOTUS let Matthew Kacsmaryk seize control of Biden's border policy for 10 months and micromanage diplomatic negotiations with Mexican officials. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Sorry, America. We can pay cancer research teams or we can pay to fly Trump and his entourage to a UFC fight in Miami. We can’t afford both.

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Republicans' billionaire tax cuts would cost more than 4 major pieces of recent federal legislation combined—AND it would be bigger than programs like Medicare Part D & ACA subsidies that millions of people rely on. The GOP is essentially creating a social safety net for BILLIONAIRES.

If Dems fail to make Signal leak an incessant story demanding resignations/impeachment, it would be a mirror image of Benghazi, her emails, etc. In face of GOP zone-flooding, Dems cowered instead of calling bullshit; now when GOP says Signal leak is NBD, a failure to push back would be catastrophic.

RFK Jr.’s confirmation “is a victory for Trump, and a clear message that Senate Republicans are willing to embrace pseudoscience in their unwavering deference to him. Americans’ health is in Kennedy’s hands.” Nicholas Florko on what happens next: theatln.tc/6bnEa4tQ

I urged my colleagues to vote no on RFK Jr.’s nomination. Achieving better health outcomes happens when we follow science. Not conspiracy theories, but science. Instead of speeding up innovation, under Mr. Kennedy, we would be taking a risky step backwards.
