This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

economic collapse + mass protest movement + military parade on Dear Leader's birthday = Nothing Good I've got 4 scenarios as to how this might play out. www.thebulwark.com/p/america-is...

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

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

Must’ve cost big bucks to pay millions of people in 1,100 cities.

This one should be an award winner

Hey, I wonder if there's any economic news today. I'll check out the website of America's biggest news network--Fox! Phew. Nothing's up! Biggest news in US today is a very nice Christian woman was slapped for no reason after sticking a camera in a stranger's face & calling her a baby killer.

Are we great again yet? All in pursuit of huge tax increase for the middle class via tariffs and cut taxes for the ultra rich. Boo! 😩

let’s see who has the unfortunate task of ringing the opening bell tomorrow … ah perfect

Exactly: yes, money can influence elections, and yes, so can propaganda and vote suppression and gerrymandering. But amazing what you can overcome when people just show up.

Annnd CNN calls it

Trump is deporting people with legal status and no criminal convictions to foreign hellhole’s without due process. His idiot team is sharing classified attack plans on insecure channels and accidentally including a reporter. He’s pushing us toward a recession. He’s threatening to invade allies.

This is evil. I’m ashamed and aghast at what is happening. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It's certainly not the first time America has shown its teeth in a rapacious and predatory way. But it's certainly the most absurd and bizarre. Just what the actual fuck is the only measured and wise commentary one can proffer on this gambit.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Democratic leadership does not seem to know what time it is. But Trump sure does. www.thebulwark.com/p/hey-democr...

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

A reminder for these times.

Anger. Righteous anger. We need more of it in this country.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Thank you Governor Walz! 🩵

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Correct! Hypocrites all of them.

These are the words of a would-be tyrant.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

I thought they were all self-made rugged individualists who didn’t rely on socialism.

Good advice ⬇️
