So if countries are going to negotiate their current tariff rates down, this was never about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US. This was never about generating revenue from tariffs to offset our National deficit. Is it just to crash the stock market to force interest rates down?

Tariffs like these raise prices and don't work. But if you skipped class the day we all learned that – here's a refresher:

Twenty-one federal technology staffers have resigned from DOGE, refusing to participate in efforts to ‘dismantle critical public services.’ In a joint resignation letter, they cited concerns about the politically motivated and inexperienced individuals recruited by Musk. apnews.com/article/doge...

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

Why is this a priority?!?!

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

This. All of this.

Even when he tries to show empathy, he still falls short. My heartfelt prayers to those who have lost loved ones.

Excellent post

Billionaire oligarch Jamie Dimon on Trump's tariffs causing higher prices: If it's a little inflationary but it's good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Wow! Trump literally did NOT put his hand on the Bible while being sworn in.

With the shitcoins released by Trump ($TRUMP) and Melania ($MELANIA) over the weekend, I never want to hear from anyone about any previous presidential family using the presidency of the United States to enrich themselves.

Technical difficulties, oh what a sign… #CarrieUnderwood #Inauguration2025

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Per Bubblemaps, 89% of the supply of Melania Trump’s memecoin $MELANIA, is being held by one wallet.

So TikTok is back, all because 45 wants his inauguration covered on the app. This is such a freaking joke! National security my arse! What the hell changed between last night and today?!

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Is it really happening?! Comments are completely gone on all TikTok videos. 😨

Judge Merchan: “Donald Trump, the ordinary citizen, Donald Trump, the criminal defendant, would not be entitled to such considerable protections.”

Donald Trump has been sentenced to an unconditional discharge for the crime of falsifying business records. What a joke. At least he heads to the White House as a convicted felon.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
