They’re saying 3 mutually incompatible things about the tariffs: 1) They are long term and will cause onshoring 2) They are long term and will raise revenue (which only happens in absence of onshoring) 3) They are a tactic to get others to lower tariffs (and therefore aren’t long term)

The optics of Trump demolishing the economy and then peacing out for some R&R at a Saudi-funded golf tournament held at a private club he still owns and profits from aren’t great

The only solace Ive found today is thinking about how much money the billionaires, that stood behind Trump at the inauguration, have lost in the last 24 hours. #TrumpTariffs

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Here's an overlooked fact from #signalgate Mike Waltz has Jeffery Goldbergs number because he leaks to the press. Same with all of the others on the chat. No one noticed the "unknown number" because they all had it. When you read "sourses say" there are your sources 👍

Please take this seriously: If we get out of this alive, we literally need to push HARD for deep structural changes across law, policy, the judiciary, and the ways in which elected officials get coopted by donors. There is no other way to secure the future.

Trump doesn't plan to be re-elected, and the media won't get straight answers from him, so the only way to stop the crazy is to pressure the Rs. (Asuming elections are still legit?) The only way to make a difference is to make them go viral, every day.

Until Citizens United finally gets thrown on the trash heap of history, is there one f-ing billionaire that will tell spineless Republicans that they will match any money Elon throws at a primary? Because apparently money is the only thing these goons care about, while our constitution is on fire.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

#Trump kept going on about how #Zelenskyy wouldn't accept a "ceasefire" and seemed really angry about it. I think Putin wants to get a ceasefire because it would help him re-arm and re-stock for a round 2 (he's wanted that for a while). Zelenskyy was right to reject it. Rewatch it with that context.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
