Funny how American cars go hard with names like Cougar, Wrangler, Nova—all muscle and menace—while Chinese EVs roll out with Dolphin, Sea Lion, Good Cat. One market sells power. The other sells charm. Says a lot.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Echoes in a Well A man stood at the edge of a well, listening. Voices rose from below — urgent, endless, certain. They spoke of justice, reform, catastrophe. He listened every day. One morning, he shouted back: “Why do you keep talking?”

Question: How does the SCOTUS decision to make a president essentially unliable for anything impact impeachment?

Honestly, at this point, there is only one word. IMPEACH

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

My small furniture co, which used to ship to the US, will no longer do so. I understand that millions of other small businesses share my predicament. I have access to other markets and will manage without the US. However, this isn't a matter of trade policy; it's a stunning display of incompetence.

We all know how this is likely to play out: He’ll let up for a bit and then impose crazy sky-high tariffs again.

Even if he’s correct he’s still an utterly obnoxious prick.

104% tariffs on China, 46% on Vietnam, markets in freefall, and all based on a formula so absurdly simplistic it could fit on a cocktail napkin. Trade Deficit ÷ Imports ÷ 2 = Economic Chaos Read the full gonzo breakdown: open.substack.com/pub/suborbit...

A lot of very frustrating American political behavior is explained by reasoning something like this: A pathologically mentally unbalanced moron surely could not receive a major party presidential nomination, let alone win, twice. Therefore if he seems like one, it must all be a clever act.

Even if you could establish a presence somewhere to evade these outrageous tariffs, you likely wouldn't, as they might all change next week. No one can operate in such chaos.

WTF: “Trump’s treasury secretary Bessent seeks ‘meaningful negotiations’ with more than 50 countries”. BUT why didn’t they negotiate BEFORE imposing massive tariffs that caused market to crash, wiped out nest eggs and are ushering in a recession?! This is beyond incompetence. It’s criminal!

Now would be a good time for three republicans in the house and 20 in the senate to get on board with impeaching and removing the president who’s not constitutionally qualified to hold the office anyway.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

The global stock markets have declared an unequivocal vote of no confidence in Donald Trump. It’s time for Congress to do the same.

At least 75% of the men Trump illegally deported to El Salvador have no criminal records. These men have been abducted and sent to a hell-hole Salvadoran “prison” that is the the equivalent of a torture-laden concentration camp. DEMAND freedom and justice for these men.

Netanyahu is now in the U.S. to meet with Donald Trump. He should be in The Hague instead.

Trump’s view on trade deficits is like getting mad at Target because you spend money there but they never buy anything from you. It’s just complete brain dead nonsense.

Thank you, Sarah Wells, for raising awareness about the devastating impact of the chaotic Trump tariffs on your small biz & other small biz. Sarah is friend —we were floormates freshman year @ American Univ!) please share her story to let Trump know his policies are hurting Americans. #momsky
