Let’s be clear what Trump is saying here: Income taxes are disproportionately paid by the wealthy. Tariffs hit all Americans, disproportionately hurting working people. Trump wants everyday Americans to pay more and the wealthy to pay less.

Today the White House confirmed that they exploring ways to deport U.S. citizens. Not immigrants. Not green card holders. Citizens. He’s telling us exactly what he plans to do if we don’t stop him. He wants to put US citizens into a foreign prison for reasons only he sees fit, without due process.

BREAKING: I’m demanding answers from the White House and Office of Government Ethics about whether anyone in the Trump family or administration profited off of this tariff chaos through insider trading.

What the hell has Donald Trump been up to? Yet more corruption, no doubt. Senator Adam Schiff is demanding a congressional investigation into the distinct possibility that Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation when he abruptly paused his sweeping tariffs — a move that sent…

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later. Nothing to see here.

Every single House Democrat will vote NO on the reckless Republican budget that rips away healthcare from the American people.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do. The world’s worst diplomat strikes again. Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

If you made my grandma stand outside in a line in AZ for hours to find out why her Social Security check hadn’t come and then told her to ‘come back tomorrow’ or figure it out online. I would spend the rest of my days making sure the political party that caused it became extinct.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.

Trump just shut down the DOJ's unit that investigates crypto fraud. Remember: Trump and his inner circle stand to profit from their crypto investments and a proposed national crypto reserve — while taxpayers could be left holding the bag. It's a new Golden Age for corruption.

💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.
