Just because a meeting has an hour allocated to it doesn’t mean you have to fill up the full hour. Yes, this is a subtweet. 🙄 🥱 😴

HHS says we need to do our own research. OK, lets do this: 1. We'll pay taxes to federal agencies; 2. Agencies hold contests to find the best scientists; 3. Scientists get our money for research on our behalf; 4. Scientists publish the results; 5. We live better because of the work we paid for.

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

Seriously, all citizens should take action to secure paperwork to prove their citizenship NOW. You will need it so they don’t deport you for your political speech. (And also to vote, once the SAVE Act has passed.)

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Starting to think that we should sort out a general agreement on trade and tariffs, perhaps housed under some sort of world trade organization. Let's keep the region strong with some kind of of north american free trade agreement. Perhaps a trans pacific partnership could soften China's influence.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.
