I'm a broken record, but: there's no indication Trump understands what a trade deficit is or how tariffs work. The presumption is that he's just lying about both, but that only helps him slip nonsense into the discourse when the nonsense goes uncorrected. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Medicaid covers 72+ million Americans—and 41% of all births. Republicans want women barefoot and pregnant, then slash the care that keeps them and their babies alive. This isn’t pro-life. It’s pro-control, pro-cruelty, and pro-death. #MedicaidCutsKillUS

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

This is naked corruption that uses federal policy to pour money into the pockets of the President's largest campaign donor. Forcing the nation's 70-some million Social Security recipients to sign up for the website owned by a Nazi saluting billionaire is outrageous.

I keep thinking back to Project 2025's Kevin Roberts saying last July that "the second American Revolution ... will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” Trump didn't win a majority of the popular vote last year. His fascist movement aims to make its dominance appear inevitable. It's not.
