I mean the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs is itself extremely dubious, but the President *clearly* has zero authority to unilaterally strike trade deals without a vote from Congress.

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent. Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent. We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

A TPM Reader shared this graph with me which strongly suggests that border immigration surges recently, which spur so many conspiracy theories in this country, are driven by periods of acute labor shortages in the US. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/its-t...

This is the closest approximation of a time machine you’ll ever see. He undid a whole year of wealth, all by himself, in just 90 days.

👇🎯 They. Are. Breaking. Signed. Contracts. For. No. Legal. Reason. You want to pass legislation not funding this stuff going forward? Fine. Epically idiotic, but legal. This is something else. Shredding the basic foundations of the rule of law. Textbook authoritarianism.

Elon Musk cutting that waste, fraud and abuse!

submitted 28 days ago • 142 comments

Yeah sooooo, about this. Once again Musk and his team have no idea what they're looking at when they find it. These fraudulent claims are there by design. It's actually part of the government's process of tackling fraud. @emmbadger.bsky.social explains ⬇️ (non-paywall version here archive.ph/m6Rxb)

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

Plain clothes ICE officers showing up armed to do “welfare checks” on people’s houses. What if the lawyer hadn’t been there? Zoom in on the faces of these ICE officials-they are complicit in the terrorism of the Trump administration.
