UK: Brexit is the biggest act of economic self harm any country will ever perform USA: Hold my beer...

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Holy shit. I never thought I’d be posting a clip of Reagan talking such “woke” common sense about tariffs.

“Sir, is this Donald Trump’s economy now?” CNN’s Kasie Hunt bluntly asked. “Well, I don’t know that I’d call it that,” Burchett replied. Hunt swiftly raised her eyebrows after hearing the claim, “Really?” www.huffpost.com/entry/cnn-ka...

Black Friday got another meaning today.

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "This big beautiful economy that actually was rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation coming down feels more like the Game of Thrones red wedding. I mean, it's not going well."

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Tesla lost 10% of its value in one day.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

CHINA HITS U.S. WITH 34% RETALIATORY TARIFF China also added 11 additional U.S. companies to its "unreliable entities" list, virtually banning them from doing business in China or with Chinese companies, and expanded export controls on seven types of rare earth related items. Prices to skyrocket.

It took the Drumpf regime to wipe out FOUR years of gains in TWO days! As the Repubes like to say, Mission Accomplished!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Great!

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Drumpf’s “tariff” numbers are just trade balance ratios! Are you freaking kidding me? 25th amendment anyone? Bueller… Bueller…

Again.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

JUST NU: Elon Musk på väg att lämna sin roll i Vita huset, uppger källor för Politico. www.expressen.se/nyheter/varl...

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

I'm here in Mexico to ensure our international partners know they can trust Illinois to remain committed to our shared goals. Over the week, our delegation has met with leaders to discuss business, government, and how we can strengthen our economies for the good of our people.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think they can destroy our country for their own benefit. No they can’t. Not if we band together to stop them.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Says the guy who spent millions to elect a judge that will soon be the deciding vote on a case involving Tesla’s ability to sell cars in the state.

I cannot believe that the heroes from my teen years are starting to cross the rainbow bridge. Rest in peace, #ValKilmer!

Putin says Trump is very serious about invading and taking Greenland. Because Vlad has the same ambitions, and would negotiate his share with Donnie boy. www.yahoo.com/news/putin-s...

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

All you need to know about Twitter

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

If you live in a blue state, do NOT travel to a red state. If you live in a red state, try to get out as soon as possible. Not joking. Not hyperbole.

BREAKING: GOP Minnesota state senator Justin Eichorn, who was caught in a sting operation, resigned under fire Thursday after he was charged with soliciting a minor for prostitution. Before the Senate could vote on whether to expel him, he submitted his resignation in an email to Gov. Tim Walz.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

A memo has just leaked revealing that the Trump administration is planning to sabotage the Social Security Administration. Their plan would gut the agency’s claims process, potentially preventing millions of Americans from getting their earned benefits. Per @juddlegum.bsky.social:

My thanks to His Majesty King Charles III for his warm welcome and gracious hospitality today. Canada is fortunate to have a steadfast defender in our sovereign.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

The TESLA (a/k/a "TESLER") TAKEDOWN is working... WORLDWIDE! Turns out people really resent an unelected weirdo running our Government & creating economic chaos. Hit Elmo where it really hurts: in his big, fat wallet. If we #TankTesla, It's Ex-X! (a/k/a Twitter) #WinWin Visit www.takedowntesla.com
