There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. A. Trade. Deficit. There's a huge ass country buying a ton of what they need from smaller countries for the best prices possible. There are small countries who don't need what that huge ass country is selling or will *never* need as much of it. Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

APOLLO: “.. Consumer Confidence Is Weaker than During the 2008 Financial Crisis .. “.. sentiment is declining rapidly both for households making more than $100,000 and less than $100,000 .. “.. Consumers’ worries about losing their jobs are at levels normally seen during recessions ..”

WHAT DO THESE GENIUSES THINK WILL HAPPEN TO MANUFACTURING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THERE IS A RECESSION !?!?!?!?!?!!?

@maddow.msnbc.com Thank you for your 100 days. It has been a lifeboat in the sea of trump chaos. I reallllyyyy hope you will agree to go into overtime because as my daughter asked, “what will we do when her 100 days are over.”🤷🏼‍♀️😢

Gen-Zers proving that Gen-Xers were the outliers all along.

Crockett: It has taken Texas’ largest measles outbreak in 30 years with more than 500 confirmed cases and the deaths of two children for the secretary of health and human services to say what we already knew. The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the vaccin

“Kennedy’s team requested that Marks turn over data on cases of brain swelling and deaths caused by the measles vaccine—data that Marks said doesn’t exist because there have been no such confirmed cases in the U.S.” www.wsj.com/health/healt...

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."

Jeffries: He somehow sold himself to significant numbers of Americans as a businessman—but he’s a failed businessman, having bankrupted multiple companies. And now Donald Trump is trying to literally bankrupt America.

This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

I cannot get over the cruelty of deporting people who grew up in America, and were taught about the Boston Tea Party and the civil rights movement, because they got arrested at a protest.

“President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court,” Mr. Elias said. “There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Elbows up, Canada.

Half of Tesla’s value gone in three months! This is the first time a Tesla-related crash might actually save lives.

#RossGerber, time to lead a shareholder lawsuit?

Dead to me.

Hakeem Jeffries thinks Drake won

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Donald Trump claimed that we were the largest contributer to Ukraine This list shows donations Per Capita We come in at number 10

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

I used to think that the generational task of millennials would be to finish the incomplete social justice movements that the Boomers abandoned after the 60s. Now I think it is to hold the line against the fascist tendencies of Gen X and the male half of Gen Z.

Thanks to everyone who participated nationwide!

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍 #EcomomicBlackout (image by @donkoclock.bsky.social) 🙏

In light of the disgraceful behavior by the president and vice president, every elected official, Republicans and Democrats alike, should step up to speak for freedom and the truth. If you're elected by the American people, you have some standing to try to save what can be saved of America's honor.

Today the President of the USA Donald Trump engaged in a shakedown of Ukraine in the middle of a war to steal their natural resources. This is what has come of the USA under Trump!

What we must now demand of @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social: town halls in EVERY district, your faces on every screen, voices on every podcast, daily press conferences and articles of impeachment. If your leaders won’t do it, send the women who have the courage.

America is bleeding power and influence around the world. Russia and China are laughing their asses off every single time Trump and Vance do something embarrassing—like today’s shitshow with Zelensky. We are a lot less safe with these clowns in charge.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but thank you for whatever you're doing for your family and community to get through this right now. The way through this mess is a million tiny acts of resistance and love. I know you're doing them, and I appreciate you.

Let’s talk about this White House statement regarding the “Make America Healthy Again Commission.” In particular, I’d like to highlight this paragraph addressing the number of children and young adults with chronic illnesses. (1/🧵)

Dark Pence is back.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.
