Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Tariffs xkcd.com/3073

And this is why countries are dumping their U.S. treasuries and dollars.

"For now, that means the tariffs are not being collected by the U.S. government..." 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ a "glitch" you say? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

It’s not about the money. It’s about destroying government institutions.

Trump continues to act like he’s above the law. Dems are now calling for an investigation into possible insider trading by his allies just before he reversed himself on most of his tariffs.

The rationale was to address "mismanagement, fraud, and misaligned priorities." Former USAID official Jeremy Konyndyk said reversals and inconsistencies in the cancellations created "total whiplash."

You all know this already but what we want is normal and right. And it's worth fighting for. 📷: @fightforaunion.bsky.social

Deplorable. I served two years in Afghanistan and cried for days when Biden pulled out after Trump’s disastrous “negotiations” with the Taliban and not the country’s (deeply flawed) elected leaders. People will die because of this.

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

Let me be clear: Trump's tariffs are a TAX that the American people will pay on everything they buy. Trump's tariffs are pushing us toward a painful recession. Don't forget: Republicans joined Trump last week to cheer and clap for his tariffs.

Over the weekend, at the direction of USAID Deputy Administrator, Jeremy Lewin, more than $1.3 billion in life saving programs in some of the most dire humanitarian crises around the world were terminated. 🧵1

Washingtonians are losing their retirements because of Trump’s reckless economic policies, and Rep. Newhouse and Rep. Baumgartner just do nothing. They have proven time and time again that they don’t care about their constituents, only their donors.

It’s coming. Prepare for martial law.

Washington's economy relies heavily on international trade. With retaliation tariffs slamming our exports, farmers are losing markets, jobs are at risk, and entire industries—from apples to airplanes—are feeling the large financial hit.

Anthea isn’t wrong. Now for us to accept this and make the changes we need to.

The stock market is tanking because of Trump’s tantrum tariffs. Retirement savings of hard-working Americans are disappearing. This is not normal. This is not leadership.

I know this is fringe conspiracy theory, but instead of tariffing people into buying US cars... have we tried building reliable cars that people desire? I know, it's weird. But my theory is if we made cars that last, are reliable, look nice and have a good price point that people will buy them.

One of the biggest lies: they say that no one has died as a result of the dismantling of USAID. In fact, people are dying every day.

So it’s going well!
