"No one, apparently, is willing to prevent a single man from destroying the world economy, wrecking financial markets, forcing this country and other countries into recession if that’s what he feels like doing when he gets up tomorrow morning" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Watching trump fold on tariffs shouldn't surprise you. He folded to Russia before we even negotiated.

Where is Merrick Garland when you need him?

Yesterday, people were saying Trump tanked the markets to sow chaos so he could declare martial law. Today, the same people are saying Trump tanked the markets so he could illicitly profit from the rebound. My theory: that Trump is an enormous moron and coward. It really explains everything.

Actually the real story today—not the bullshit tariff thing—is that Trump does not have enough Republican votes to get his budget passed in the House. He’s destroyed his air of invincibility and is now officially a lame duck.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Trump’s Tariff ‘Buffoonery’ Elates Russian TV Propagandists “In reality, a monument should be erected to him,” Vladimir Solovyov said. “This was a major blow to the system of capitalism.” My latest for @thedailybeast.bsky.social: www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-tarif...

President High Pockets.

Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov and his fellow state TV propagandists praised Trump for imposing tariffs and striking a devastating blow against the West. They proposed awarding Trump a medal or erecting a monument of him sitting on a horse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TFt...
