[Updated] if people are concerned about their stock portfolios, keep in mind that the US was brought into WWII by imposing stiff sanctions on Japan.

All of these sycophants hated Biden for his common sense regulation, and now Trump is screwing them with their pants on. I'd be fine with that except he's doing it to the rest of us as well.

Trump: "Sometimes you have to take your medicine." Same man who recommended injecting bleach. At least he's consistent.

Some might argue that Trump’s tariffs are about American autonomy over the American economy, that if you are not trading with others, then they can’t harm you. We're about to get a real life lesson about the cost of that logic.

Trump calls tomorrow "Liberation Day". Americans are already being "liberated" from our retirement savings, "liberated" from healthcare, "liberated" from civil rights protections, "liberated" from American values, and "liberated" from our allies. How much more "liberation" we can stand?

Let's play a game: things that are more secret than Yemen War Plans. I'll start. Yesterday's Phillies box score (for any value of "yesterday").

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

This is absolutely extrordinary--and NOT normal. At 2:05:40, Senator Merkley (D-OR) asks simply, "Is President Trump a Russian asset?" and then lists 5 examples of how he seems to be working for Putin rather than the American people and America's interests. www.foreign.senate.gov/hearings/nom...

Here's a question for lawyer types like @orinkerr.bsky.social and @mnemonic.bsky.social: is there any theory under which Elon Musk could be held personally libel for actions by his DOGE that were later found to be illegal?

Trump probably doesn't have the intellectual capacity to remember that it was NATO that came to the aid of the US when we were attacked on 9/11/2001. What if the US is attacked again? Will the countries Trump is threatening answer the call?

Yes, because tariffs helped helped America so much... ... spiral into the great Depression in 1930.

@aoc.bsky.social asked how Democrats should deal with the upcoming speech by Trump before Congress. Here's my suggestion: let Zelensky give the response.

The administration speculating on digital currencies has two pernicious effects: it props up currencies that are primarily practically used for illicit transaction (like murder for hire), and it interferes with the Fed's ability to manage monetary policy.
