Trump: "People are coming to me and talking about tariffs. And a lot of people are asking me if they could have exceptions." (this sort of patronage system is the point of Trump's tariffs)

I know people will take advantage of the Q&A to mock him, I’d recommend getting creative at the book signing. They’re at the end of the event; the author is a little tired and off guard. “And who should I make this out to?” “Go fuck yourself. G-O F-U-C-…”

Said it before & I will say it again. All of the protesting, emailing, & phone calling means nothing unless serious people in serious positions start doing serious things. Unfortunately, Senate Dems have just made everything we the people have said and done over the last 6 weeks meaningless.

Every American with a 401(k) is unnecessarily hemorrhaging money right now and the price of everything you’re about to buy is gonna go up by 25% but that’s OK because the guy who bankrupts everything he’s ever touched is calling the shots

We can protest, hold town halls, post on social media, and boycott all we want. But it won’t mean anything until serious people in serious positions start doing something too.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

There can be no doubt now that Trump and Vance are unfit for office. That was disgraceful.

The video of that Oval Office meeting is unbelievable. Trump and Vance were so disrespectful and unprofessional. And in the Oval Office no less.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

My maternal grandmother died of pancreatic cancer in 1961. She was diagnosed and died 6 weeks later. This brings tears to my eyes.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

How many people work for DOGE? Seriously, I can’t find this number anywhere. It feels like it’s just a pack of ten guys running from federal building to federal building unplugging stuff and it feels like we should be able to stop that?

"What our profession most definitely does not believe is that the primary purpose of history is to instill a single notion of 'patriotic education' in our youth about 'our incredible Nation,' as the order demands." Correct. Trump wants propaganda, not history. newrepublic.com/article/1912...
