Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Don't panic - some of your money is in bonds, not stocks. And as we all know, US bonds are a sound investment because generations of American leaders carefully established and maintained a reputation for being the safest economic port in a storm. Oh shit.

New, from me: Elon Musk is the biggest loser in Wisconsin. His brazen effort to buy a state supreme court did not just fail - it undermined his image of political kingmaker. This is the clearest indicator that voters are angry with Trump/Musk agenda. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-bigges...

Senator Cory Booker has started his 19th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster. "I don't understand how we can be a nation with so much wealth and abundance and we haven't figured out a way to design a system where, when you invest in the wellbeing of people, people thrive." Bravo, Cory!

The longest filibuster in history of the U.S. Congress was conducted in 1957 by S.C. Senator Strom Thurmond, who spent 24 hours and 18 minutes attempting to stop the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Cory Booker just crossed hour 19 and is still going strong. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Classified information is classified for a reason. Sec. Hegseth was openly sharing classified materials on an insecure channel that potentially endangered service members. And then he lied about it. He should resign.

The Atlantic has now published the Signal texts with attack plans in response to administration denials. I worked at the Pentagon. If information like this is not classified, nothing is. If Hegseth is claiming he declassified this information, he should be shown the door for having done so.
