👀“DEFINE REPUBLICAN— I’d rather a candidate w/ a principled definition vs. ‘I’m a conservative because I hate so & so’” Sen. Gardenhire (R) attacks the Williamson County Republican Party chair over banning caucus/conventions for primaries (is Senator Jack Johnson saving himself?😬)

Yup. It feels cruel to deny deluded Brexiters their tiny sliver of a ‘win’ but, on the other hand, fuck ‘em. Weakening a country before an attack like this is an act of obvious treachery. We would, by any measure, be better off in the the EU with the 20% basic tariff rate.

The universal tariffs announced by the US are a major blow to businesses and consumers worldwide. Europe is prepared to respond. We'll always protect our interests and values. We're also ready to engage. And to go from confrontation to negotiation. Full statement → europa.eu/!mHxFMh

"Unicef states that on average “a woman menstruates for about 7 years during their lifetime.” This fact is what really made it hit home for me. 7 years of unpleasantness is a really long time, and depending on the person, the symptoms can be quite severe."

We said it campaigning for Gore in 2000, Kerry in 2004, Clinton in 2016, Harris in 2024. It didn't make a difference. But appointing federal judges may be the most important thing a president and Senate do. Even if the Dem candidate is not perfect, their judges will protect America for 40 years.

Brexiters crowing about being hit with a 10% Trump tariff, rather than 20%. Ffs. Brexit costs us far more than 10% on goods to the US. Every day. We now have both to contend with, without the leverage of a powerful bloc. A crappy deal won’t save us. Please just STFU you stupid, stupid bastards.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

The suffering that will be unleashed on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos is horrific. And that's not because they have "raped" America. It's because they're poor, they can't afford many US goods but they can become wealthier by exporting to rich countries.

To anyone claiming that Trump's baseline tariffs on the UK are a Brexit benefit, this is the equivalent of a rescue ship reaching the Titanic... now.

Pay attention to what is happening at Social Security. DOGE has created serious tech problems, gutted the staff, overwhelmed call centers, and created much confusion in its wake. Pay attention Americans—you earned these benefits. Nobody has the right to them—but you.

Bit of analysis from me. Tariffs are on a scale that will be devastating for some economies, while for the US, corrosive uncertainty - far from over after tonight - makes a Trumpcession look more likely than a “golden age”: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Lewis Goodall, "I can see what a Brexiter might make the argument that we've got preferential treatment" "We're in a net position where we've lost trade with the EU, we have a more distant economic relationship with the EU, and we've got 10% tariffs"

Donald Trump claims to be an evangelical Christian, and he has wide support among American evangelicals. As a devout Catholic, Joe Biden frequently went to Mass. We have seen plenty of Trump on the golf course, anyone seen him in church on Sunday?
