Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

BREAKING: Trump and Republicans say they’ll focus their efforts on defeating the man who’d be the first openly gay U.S. Senator, Chris Pappas, who is running in New Hampshire. Chris doesn’t serve billionaires and has stood up to bullies. It’s obvious why they want him to lose.

The stock market is collapsing, and that means the retirement savings of everyday Americans are disappearing by the hour. This is all because of Trump's reckless mismanagement of the economy. Now, these tariffs that are being imposed will raise the cost of goods for everyday Americans.

For Senate Republicans, their stance on Trump’s tariffs isn’t about the economy—it’s about self-preservation. Your survival? Your wallet? Your job? Isn’t what matters. They know these tariffs will hurt Americans—they’re just waiting to see how bad it gets.

"Booker can help rebrand his party as less risk-averse and more willing to try … something. He can rebrand himself, just as the old and ineffective guard falters. Booker’s speech was raw and visceral and real and angry. He did something. Now his colleagues and American voters must do more."
