Trade deficits sound scary, but aren’t. Buying more from a grocery store than it buys from you is normal - so is a trade deficit. Trade deficits are often larger when we have money to spend. Setting tariffs based on trade deficits is like taxing your grocery store hoping it’ll shop at your house.

“‘Hands Off!’ protesters across US rally against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk” electionlawblog.org?p=149327

This is apparently the blueprint the Trump regime is following to level the playing field with tariffs, bullying, create some new world order. Wasn’t there something similar about a century ago that led to a recession & then a World War? Someone who understands more pls explain like we’re 10yrs old

Partly ‘Mistaken’ NYT?? Or fully bullshit?

GOOD POINT

More research devastated and potential progress lost

THIS THIS THIS To the “it doesn’t matter” people:” Buzz off. WTF are YOU doing to try to make a difference?

If you're a lawyer working for the justice department under Pam Bondi, honestly answering a judge's questions gets you fired. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

They disappeared a THIRD GRADER.

Trump's "biggest crowds ever" have finally materialized.

SCOOP: Elon Musk’s DOGE has plans to stage a “hackathon” next week in Washington, DC. The goal is to create a single “mega API”—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED.

I wonder why trump fired the General in charge of cybersecurity this week...🤔

Hundreds of thousands of people protested across the nation against Trump/Musk and in favor of our freedoms and democracy. We are the LEADERS we have been waiting for!

It seems clear we are seeing the beginnings of a sustained mass protest movement to oust Trump.

Via New York Times: “The DOJ prosecutor who questioned the Trump administration’s decision to deport a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on indefinite paid leave for a “failure to zealously advocate” for the department — less than 24 hours after defending the gov’t in federal court.”

Pasadena knows.

President Trump’s mindless tariffs will cause economic havoc www.economist.com/leaders/2025... From The Economist

apnews.com/article/sena... They are eliminating much-needed services to give themselves more tax cuts. How does the lower the National Deficit?

This is a Movement that will only grow. Here is the scene across the nation right now at the Hands Off Protests: krassencast.com/p/scenes-fro...

We are the ones who are coming to save us.

Thousands and thousands of people at Civic Center SF, @indivisible.org organizers doing a great job teaching people why confronting aggressive counter protesters ( I haven’t seen any) plays into the autocrat playbook

Hundreds of people coming off BART and Muni into Civic Center Plaza SF

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

He’s skipping funerals for soldiers to golf with the Saudis.

This new dark age of fear, superstition and ignorance is a choice, not an accident of history.

My favorite part of #HandsOff at the MN Capitol was this band drowning out hate preachers behind them

Colorado's medical providers are supposed to report suspected measles cases within four hours. A clinic in Pueblo waited nine days to report Colorado's first measles case since 2023. Evan Kruegel reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE0l...

The IRS’s unit that audits billionaires and other ultrawealthy individuals, known as Global High Wealth, employed 353 people before Trump administration firings and has experienced a far higher rate of terminations compared to the IRS as a whole, data shows.

Trump’s threats should not be dismissed, at this point, as crude bargaining tactics or buffoonish theatrics. We’ve been here before ... In the spring of 1941, as Hitler’s armies swept across Europe.
