This is why the fed is independent. Otherwise presidents would be incentivized to overheat the economy to get re-elected, and not care that it will crash and burn when their terms are up. But I guess if you're insane enough, you can just burn it all down without the fun part.

Called it.

Ight this is just good shit lmao. Everything they do is comedy gold if it wasn't so terrifyingly real.

Gaslighting America and fear are the only strategy Republicans know. They know their policies don't work, so instead of reflecting and reinventing their party, they stepped on that gas pedal of defelction so we wouldn't notice they can't govern.

Hope this email finds at a good time

The man is fool, fucking go at his throat for it. We are sick and tired of the carefully curated scripted campaigning bullshit. Your base isn't stupid, we know what the facts are. Force HIM to confront it before it's too late. But you were too late. You let this happen and now we all lose.

The tariffs of his first term were hardly noticeable to an every day person, and yet they had this kind of impact on the world we live in. Now imagine if for some reason he decided to implement tariffs across the entire world. It will be impossible not to notice, and the impact will be far worse.

These are examples of situations that very clearly show how Dems and legacy media just don't have the killer instinct it takes to win and win consistently. Go at someone for their mistakes, especially at someone who has never been held accountable in their entire life. Make the world see the fool

No you see as an Economist I can say with certainty that you just forgot to set it to wombo, so this is actually a really good sign. Trust

Is this the consequences of my own actions? NO!! It must be fraud, because I am the superior being and everyone knows that. There exist no individuals with agency of their own to discern otherwise. They must be getting paid! Here's some money to believe me www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Old news, but this has set a historically dangerous precedent. We now encourage Corpos to take unethical and reckless risk, so long as they have political loyalty. A decision that erodes rule of law. Wealth consolidation over the people will kill innovation. theintercept.com/2025/04/02/t...

Government should never be run like a business, large scale business models do not care about people, only profit with no regard for cost to us. They Operate under fringe legality Gov should be there to protect the people from such practices It never should have been made legal for Corpos to lobby

Did no one in the OZ world ever question a strange man from another land calling himself a wizard as he hoarded all their lands emeralds?

Why would Any sovereign nation want to ally with us? We no longer represent any benefit, we are actively trying to harm your economies for selfish demands. We are spastic with no signs of any intelligent leadership. We have no moral compass and our "laws" believe in profit over people.

Anyone that pulls a lever of power understanding the consequences it has on the people you were sworn to protect, is not strong. You are weak willed, fragile of mind, and unfit to govern. Making brash decisions on your own is not a sign of strength, but a glaring display of your insecurities.

The Great Depresso

The global tariffs will certainly cause a US economic emergency tho.

thank you donald trump for your diligent work as you make the US a stagnant, backwater pariah state and playground for sociopathic tech oligarchs

It won't just close the gap, it will ensure their succession.

It mostly just assured that we would no longer be a pillar in that foundation, as other countries have already been preparing by opening trade elsewhere, and beginning talks to replace the US dollar. Not sure the foundation will be affected so much as the archaic pillar is no longer load-bearing.

Absolutely!

Some probably don't care at all, others simply let their fears win without a semblance of a fight. The weight of fear to universities seeing funding cut was heavier than their brittle spines could handle. Ohio students, professors, alumni, all fought, but the state reps still didn't care.

It takes all of us, and it takes finding your local groups, your local communities.

Bad people don’t even have to have power over you they just need to make you believe that they do so you’re too afraid to fight at all.

Thank you Wisconsin. Thank you for sticking it to that evil little man child who believes his money makes him superior to any one of us.

Accountability for our mistakes is what will lead our country to real authentic greatness

Find the happy medium between being insufferable and being informed.

The we Is all of us We cannot expect our representatives to do everything, he heard us because we are speaking up. We are the players, this is our nation. We must all organize and mobilize.

Feel like maybe @booker.senate.gov read The Sirens’ Call? Or at least he got the gist!

Seriously, we just need y'all to show some god damn fight, real hard nose boxing, stop pandering to Orthodox decorum, we need some unorthodox movements in the ring.

I am not moved by politicians often, but I am moved by Booker today. I hope more dems callously see how much attention he's commanding today take his lead. I don't care if the reason they do it is craven-- I just want them to fucken fight. also fuck strom thurmand may he rest in piss

Absolutely need to be getting into good trouble!

There is no normal to return to, but there is a way forward, there is what's next, we the people who mobilize, we the people who speak out, and leadership that dares to head the challenge. Let's keep fighting.

He heard, he listened, and he stood up. The fight isn't done, keep challenging, keep using your voice, keep mobilizing.

money can’t buy everything, eLon

I hope he is able to start leading others to do the same, and as often as possible. The Dems were faltering but he heard our concerns, he heard our pleas for leadership and so he stepped up and he stepped up with all he had. Now we all have to do the same.

Weaponizing our voices, communicating, building, organizing, and mobilizing. We cannot stop. We must press on. We are the solution.

This man showed more heart and more leadership qualities for the moment we are in now, then the actual so-called "leader" of the Senate Democrats. Chuck Schumer is not a leader for such a historic moment

More cheese for us then

Ah fuck, not the CHEESE!

The DNC operates in fear, scared to ever operate or message anything that could even slightly be seen as breaking their scripted norms A fear so thick it leaves a bad taste in our mouths No one wants the norms. They long have not worked for us We NEED more leadershig who dare to be different

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

An absolute joy of an episode to record: why I love Social Security (and why you probably do too!). Plus, why you think it's running out of money because Baby Boomers are living too long, and what's *actually* threatening the program. Wherever you get your podcasts. rss.com/podcasts/opt...

Actively making China come out of this stronger, than us is insane. All the world's leaders are looking at this situation and actually taking advantage of our nation's inept leadership. Because they will not be idle to the pains the US wants to inflict. They aren't as weak as us China is smiling.

The future history of now will include something along the lines of "social media put billions of people worldwide in the same room together for the first time in history and it drove them absolutely insane"
