Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

New tariffs coming soon 👇👇

I don’t know why any businessperson trusts Trump when he doesn’t even understand tariffs. He spent his whole candidacy yelling with his whole chest that China pays them—econ illiteracy. They knew it was BS but backed him for tax cuts. Now we’re all paying the price—for his stupidity & their greed.

Canada, please don't make the same mistake as the U.S.

No, not Democrats being “bused in”—just regular Nebraskans waking up to the fact that their Social Security is on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Great piece by PBS.

Cementing red states to remaining uneducated, gullible and under informed. The new way Republicans disenfranchising voters is robbing them of knowledge to self empower.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

In new tariff news from this speech, Trump named the EU, China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Canada, and South Korea are the countries for possible April 2nd tariffs—that would cover the vast majority of US trade. He also reiterated he wants tariffs on food to start April 2nd.

"Florida lawmakers will consider putting an end to the use of fluoride in drinking water, banning use of the word "milk" to describe milk alternatives..." Because in "Free Florida," not a day goes by where the Florida GOP isn't considering banning something.

I am ashamed of my fellow citizens who support this. Rueters and AP weren't in but Russia media was allowed. They wanted to humiliate Zelenskyy. youtu.be/au-IVW4M0Oo?...

I need to stop buying things for my vintage crafts and start making my projects. But the search is so much fun. If anyone does slow stitching, vintage crafts, and junk journals, please follow? I would love to start a list.

My younger 50-something brother has gone full on MAGA tonight on social media. He spouted ALL the RW talking points. My mother just loves her some Jesse Waters and afraid of immigrants. I wasn’t raised that way. My heart 💔😢

Good morning, Blues. Time seems to be passing so slowly in this chaos and destruction. BUT I know it is passing because I have to refill my weekly pill organizer, take my weekly shot like I did it just yesterday. My reference points seem to be at odds with each other, like a glass w/ wine.

At N Fla Publix last night… four trumpy looking old white men having an open conversation about how they did NOT elect Musk. Perturbed about the destruction happening, not going to be able to afford things, lose their jobs/social security.
