JPMorgan now says a global recession is more likely to happen than not this year, thanks to Trump’s tariffs

April 3, 2025

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

This an excellent article on what we/ you have lost in the mass firings in the FDA. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

The incompetence of this Administration never ceases to amaze. Waltz and other NSC members used Gmail to conduct official government business, with Waltz’s staff even sharing information about sensitive military positions and advanced weapon systems tied to an ongoing conflict.

Trump’s premeditated plan! “I am an expert ..the Trump regime dismantling CDC will kill countless disabled, chronically ill & immunocompromised Americans,” said lawyer Matthew Cortland, who is immunocompromised. “ “This is not policy, this is not governance. This is eugenics, this is MURDER.”

Elon, what was it you were saying about “paid operatives”? 🤨 (My dad, a WI voter, got this text this morning.)

MAGA: Million dollar give aways in elections… that sounds good! ALSO MAGA: don’t give water to people standing in long lines in the heat… that’s election fraud. 🤯 Maybe if the water is worth millions, that will be acceptable. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Go vote WISCONSIN!!!!

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Goldman projecting annual inflation will be 3.5% at the end of the year, the unemployment rate will be 4.5%, and a 35% chance of a recession. Goldman has persistently been one of the rosiest economic forecasters over the last few years.

Of course they lied to Congress. And now there's no one in the DoJ that will do anything about it. Keep calling them out on their lies. We're the only check on them now.

Read this.

And again- the soft power losses will take generations to rebuild. www.huffpost.com/entry/usaid-...

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

I feel sick.

Day 68 into the GOP takeover: Prices are going up. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Classified info is being leaked. Social Security is being dismantled. Residents are being arrested for their political views.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

Yep

Trevor Milton donated $920,000 to Trump’s PAC last year. He never made political donations before that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Elon Musk doubling down on calling Senator Kelly a "traitor" is beyond the pale. Senator Kelly is a decorated Navy vet who’s devoted his life to serving our country. Musk, on the other hand, has only ever served himself.

Ah. A million dollar lottery thrown by a white nationalist supporting billionaire to buy votes. America the paid off. Might as well collect some cabbage while our democracy dies, huh?

Republicans think this talking point owns the judges but really all it shows is that Trump breaks the law constantly

This won’t fucking happen. DOGE bros can’t even change a footer icon from the twitter bird to an X on Gov. websites. 🤣😂🤣😂 Yeah, I’m fucking talking about you S_______

TRUMP CRASH CONTINUES Consumer confidence down 30% since Nov. 2/3 expect rising unemployment—highest since 2009. Even the wealthy are worried: just 26% expect to be better off next year (down from 42%). Fears over job loss and tariffs surging. Inflation rising. BOA sees “modest stagflation” ahead.

Clean opsec y'all.

It appears that Signalgate is actually the second time a reporter has been given classified information. This incident took place in January but is only now being reported. The incompetence is stunning. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

So filing grievances is now "declaring war," according to the administration. They act so recklessly towards everyone else, yet take things so personally when they're on the receiving end. This is a dangerous way to run a country. Hell, this would even be a dangerous way to run a small business.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

It's carnage at HHS this week. We need to seize every opportunity to fight against this destructive regime that is cutting funding, programs, and support systems for so many Americans. If you live in WI or FL congressional districts 1 or 6 you have an election next week. Get out and vote!🗳️ #speakup

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

There's a law that you can't close Social Security offices without notifying Congress... and that's exactly what Edolf is doing. Where is the lawsuit?! Where?!

For American readers, this is from one of the UK's leading right-wing newspapers today. The game is up. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

Gabbard’s lack of recollection is big lie. You don’t think they have retraced every step of this debacle before these hearings? She remembers every detail I can assure you.
