A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Trump forgot a key rule in Art of War. Never underestimate your enemy. He does all the time, because he cannot conceive of himself being in second position. Even the Hillbilly knows that’s wrong.

#artofthedeal meets #artiofwar #Trump battling #China and he forgot rule one. Never underestimate your enemy. Trump plays checkers China plays chess. Even his #hillbilly VP knows better. Maybe.

Overnight Spoos up another 90 I assume because Trump said he’s not going to fire Powell. Good luck with all that. See you tomorrow.

This has been stuck in my head since Friday. The President of the U.S. holding up a ridiculous forgery. Terrible, wrong and weak. Let’s have Trump, Biondi or any other representative of this regime offer that photo as evidence in a court of law or stfu.

<-- can't care about or focus on the tariff nonsense when Trump just openly articulated a plan to begin abducting and remanding US citizens to foreign concentration camps without due process

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

I see people comparing Trump to 1700s mercantilists. That’s not quite right. Even 18th century mercantilists knew that if you were trying to use tariffs to boost your trade surplus, you wanted to tax imports of finished goods, not the inputs www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/tru...

“.. Between Trump’s tariffs and his unilateral effort to halt federal spending, he has now effectively claimed that he has both taxing and spending authority — a government all his own. Congress barely even needs to exist in this framework.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/magazin...
