Social Security is not charity. People pay into it their entire working lives. Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to rip it away—and I’m fighting back.

'To import something from China into the US you'd have to pay for it twice.' 'To understand his intervention, is to understand obvious madness'. As Trump threatens China with a 104% tariff, @mrjamesob.bsky.social breaks it down.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Donald Trump’s massive new tariffs mean higher prices and more chaos at the expense of American families—just to help pay for tax handouts to billionaires and big corporations. Let me explain:

Trump wants to give almost $5 trillion in tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations — paid for on the backs of seniors, veterans, public workers, and little kids. We can’t let that happen.

And this sums up our country and its priorities. For the rich and not for the children. It was never about protecting the children

Brexit. Trump. Truss. Boris Johnson. Netanyahu… It never ceases to amaze me just how much of our media & politicians waltz away unscathed after being so catastrophically & hideously wrong about all the major moments of our time.

More than 79 million people get health care through Medicaid, including over 1/3 of all children and nearly 2/3 of nursing home residents. Trump and Republicans want to rip their health care away – just to bankroll tax cuts for the rich. We can't let them.

Vengeful, brutally cruel ! Trump cut off aid to Ukraine. Says Zelensky isnt grateful enough & wants to pressure him to take the deal on Trump/Putins terms- give up 50% of valuable minerals. Get nothing in return. Zelensky needs & deserves guarantee that Putin will leave & not attack again.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.
