Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

I just have a hard time choking this down from an outlet that just cannot stop telling us how great Ronald Reagan was

Since the climate crisis doesn't care about our politics, it's still happening, let's stop burning teslas. Get Elon some other way, we need all the EV we can get.

Ooh I hadn't even thought of that. I've been saying illicit drug imports have more to do with trade than immigration. This could also start black markets for other tariffed goods

List of countries not subjected to tariffs: Russia Belarus North Korea Cuba They apparently took the time to impose tariffs on several uninhabited islands, so the omissions are extra noteworthy. If you spot others please flag!

I, for one, welcome the “abundance” fight. It shows the left can fight Trumpism while wrestling with how we can be better than we’ve been. I have no interest in “actually the government has been doing great” liberalism.

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied. Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Before changing sports and America, Jackie Robinson served as a 2nd Lieutenant in WWII with distinction. Yesterday, the Defense Department erased him from history. DOD ought to be SUPPORTING our vets, making it easier for them to afford a home - or a carton of eggs - not disappearing them.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

If GOP lawmakers won't talk to voters about DOGE’s Medicaid cuts and Trump’s mass firings, I will. That’s why I’m hosting three Benefits Over Billionaires town halls in California to speak directly with voters betrayed by this administration. RSVP: linktr.ee/ro_khanna_to...

People dislike language policing so much, God was like, “do not take my name in vain or you will burn forever!” And we were like “well I wasn’t really planning on it, but since you didn’t want me to…”

Problem with having a freakishly plugged in, high-info base is you cannot possibly get away with this kind of thing. Everyone will understand what you’re doing.

Dismantling the IRS will explode the federal deficit, not reduce it. Every dollar the agency spends returns $5 - $12 in revenue. This is all about giving the ultra-rich an even greater advantage over the working class.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

This is why I'm working to get PAC money completely banned in politics. There are politicians who put up more fight to receive a $5,000 PAC donation than fighting for their constituents to get healthcare and education.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

The Drain the Swamp bill is a permanent ban on White House officials from receiving gifts. This is something progressives, independents, and MAGA can support. Let's get it done.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...
