Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Thank you, Fred. I strongly suspect this whole thing, coupled with the Fort Knox bullshit, is all a big crypto scam using the gold reserves somehow. Isn't Barron all up in crypto too? #Trump #Musk #FortKnoxScam

Which - if these people had any backbones and appreciated the extent to which this situation is a GOP product - should've have made it evident to them, they have to stop the madness.

Fascists will rant about free speech until they gain the power to suppress it. Musk is a fascist.

(jmho rant) Absolutely baffling how few experts appreciate just how tectonic a break Trump and his posse are in the process of executing with the rest of the Western nations. Yes, they (or the useful idiots in the crowd which are 'most') are basically unaware of the conseuqences for the US, (1/4)

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Every sane person is some shade of stunned in disbelief virtually ALL 'regular' Republicans are just letting this all happen... But what t F is up with the Dem leadership. Insert someone who is all about what Dems they say they are all about. Look for someone labelled 'Radical' by Schumer 🙏

Absolutely. Trump has singlehandedly made China the preferred partner for the vast majority of countries who had a viable choice between ties with the US or China. Pretty sure he will 'succeed' in making it all of them.

A relatively small glut of corn, grain and similar can absolutely tank the market price. Possible consequences include lower prices on food and bankrupt farmers. But I'm pretty sure Trump will make sure both things do not happen. 😬🫣

Trump’s secretary of state “Little Marco” Rubio is skipping one of the biggest events in the diplomatic calendar because it’s too “woke.” China and Russia are undoubtedly thrilled.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

The Trump administration is still freezing many climate and infrastructure grants despite two separate federal court orders barring it from doing so.
