Alabama is now in the ‘find out’ stage Mazda’s Huntsville, Alabama plant just hit pause thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Nothing says “great economy” like factories shutting down because the guy you overwhelmingly voted for doesn’t know shit about business. www.al.com/business/202...

Trump’s wealthy donors will weather his tariff storm just fine – while you pay more at the checkout line. And don’t forget: they get a new round of big fat tax cuts, too. It’s government for the rich, by the rich.

Recession signs are flashing red. Trump’s answer? More tariffs, fewer protections, and blaming everyone but himself.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

"Donald Trump and his children, cronies, allies, appointees, saboteurs, and fellow uber-rich will never stop trying to seize ever more power and make ever more money. This is almost always the simplest, most logical explanation for whatever is going on."

For a decade, Trump and his right-wing warriors have frequently won the propaganda battle, so it’s surprising (and hope-inspiring) to see him underwater in polls on the economy and immigration — and absolutely drowning on the issue of his treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Trump is ignoring the guardrails that traditionally keep a president in check. It’s a widely held viewpoint. In a recent poll, 63% of voters say that Trump thinks he is above the law. Nearly two-thirds of Independents believe Trump thinks he is above the law, as do 29% of Republicans. Interesting...

"The result, politically, is a gap between public support for his goals and public support for his methods." Everyone can agree Trump is bad at implementing his goals, whether or not they like the goals.
