None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has a bill to return tariff authority to Congress. If it were to pass, the purposeless tariffs would end. Speaker Johnson is blocking it. Call your member of Congress, R or D, & urge a discharge petition on the bill, which forces a vote. U.S. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

policy is definitely a legitimate cause for impeachment and removal. we've had presidents who've cozied up to the KKK and caused genocides. fucking remove them. "high crimes and misdemeanors" includes hurting other people wantonly, regardless of laws written by oil companies & crypto bros

Journalist Hilmi Al-Faqaawi has been killed following an Israeli airstrike that targeted a press tent at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis burning him alive for the world to see. Still no one will stop the genocide. He is the 211th journalist to be murdered by Israel.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

Keep in mind — he claims this is all being done to boost 🇺🇸 manufacturing… but Biden actually did that 👇🏽 And his tariffs are actually hurting companies that are planning factories here and making them rethink their plans, despite what he’s saying: www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

Stock market poised to crash tomorrow & Donald states “sometimes you have to take medicine”. He’s crashing the economy on purpose. Maybe it’s time for him to take his “medicine”.

Given Trump’s flagrant lawlessness, in a sane country we would’ve been talking about impeachment and removal weeks ago.

This isn’t just a Trump problem. This is a GOP enablers problem. The entire Republican Party is draining your 401k and raising your grocery prices.

Truth. A production job in a chicken plant or a textile factory is a job and I don’t put down any kind of honest work - but it ain’t a job you’d want your kids to aspire to. People worked their tails off in those places so their kids wouldn’t have to.

“I don’t think inflation’s going to be a big deal,” says Trump. 77 million Americans voted for a madman.

the sick thing is, we have an actual policy that was revitalizing US manufacturing without relying on the nimble hands of underpaid 10yo wastrels it’s called the Inflation Reduction Act and they are shoving it into the wood chipper

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.”
