This is exactly, exactly, exactly what we knew Trump would do with regard to Ukraine. Just give Putin everything he wants. Appease him. Pretend that he’s going to stop there. Hell no. No forever. Europe is going to take the lead here. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/w...

Trump, Vance, Rubio agree that Germany should get the Sudetenland. Surely that’s where the Führer will stop.

Trump is lying about tariffs. He’s lying about who pays them, he’s lying about the effect they’re having, he’s lying about the benefits he claims they will bring. This is an aimless, destructive policy that will not do any good whatsoever.

Right wing media will not tell their viewers anything negative about Donald Trump no matter what.

I called my senators and representative today to tell them that I want them to end Trump’s tariffs and you should too. The number for Congress’s switchboard is 202-224-3121.

Ok people, the tariffs thing is not okay. What’s the plan? What are we doing?

The Republican Party has forfeited any claim to be rational stewards of the economy.

“Let’s just let the guy who has no idea what the fuck he’s doing do whatever the fuck he wants” is probably the wrong way to manage the global economy.

The democrats are the party of free trade and the republicans are the party of protectionist tariffs. Free trade is good for the economy. Protectionist tariffs are bad for the economy.

Trump’s re-election is the greatest collective fuckup in human history

Trump voters were behind him all the way when he was hurting immigrants, poor people, and trans kids. Watch how fast they turn on him when they realize he’s hurting them. #tariffs #liberationday

These tariffs are idiotic. They will not rejuvenate manufacturing. They will not pay for tax cuts. They will not improve the economy. They WILL raise prices, reduce exports, and kill jobs. They will be harmful in the short term. They will be harmful in the long term. They will make things worse.

“This administration’s immigration and refugee policy has obvious racist overtones. While they seek to single out Afrikaners for special treatment, they want us to think mostly Black and brown vetted newcomers are dangerous despite background checks to the contrary.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/u...

TRUMP’S TARIFFS WILL BE THE BIGGEST TAX RISE IN WORLD HISTORY The burden for paying the bulk of the president's Liberation Day tariffs will fall on consumers, potentially at some $600 billion a year. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

We’re all thinking it. Just waiting for someone to say it.

Don’t do the tariffs for crying out loud. It’s a gigantic mistake.

What foolishness. A failing idea from the get go. Tariff Gambit Bets Americans Will Swallow Higher Prices www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/b...

The United States is in a really unhealthy place where our politics are driven by resentments instead of collective wellbeing. That’s a problem we need to acknowledge and work on solving.

I mean they could instead just allow American farmers to sell their products in a free and open global market and make money. White House Weighs Helping Farmers as Trump Escalates Trade War www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

Literally the worst person imaginable to put in charge of Health and Human Services. Trump’s disdain for science and truth tellers will have long lasting negative effects. www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

I campaigned hard for Harris in 2024 here in Pennsylvania. My go-to argument to Trump voters was that he would enact tariffs that will raise prices on consumers, reduce exports, and shut the US out of trade deals. A small handful listened. This week the rest are going to get what they voted for.
