Our farmers will lose billions in USAID cuts. His tariffs will not make up the shortfall, because most of the produce coming in does not compete with local produce. People aren't going to buy more Idaho potatoes because Mexican bananas cost more. + labor shortages. The fuckening continues.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza. Starving children is a war crime. UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

Anyone claiming Zelenskyy doesn't want peace is either an idiot or a paid propagandist. Anyone claiming Zelenskyy should accept Trump's terms for peace is also an idiot or a paid propagandist.

There has never been a better time to ignore all the Republican fake culture war bullshit they are rolling out to distract from what Trump is doing to our economy and national security. Focus on the stuff that matters - that people are feeling. We can’t let nonsense distract us.

There are now 955 cases & 60 deaths from an unknown illness in DRC (links below). As this outbreak is growing, CDC is not permitted to exchange information with WHO and USAID outbreak response support is banned. Yesterday the Supreme court “paused” a federal judge order for USAID payments to resume.

Just a little over one month into Trump’s second term, jobless claims spiked last week in a worrisome sign for the US labor market. This comes on top of rising consumer prices — and it doesn’t even factor in the looming threat of tariffs.

Make no mistake: this is the next step in Trump/Musk’s plan to slash public services that benefit every American to pay for tax breaks that overwhelmingly support the ultra-rich. Americans must mobilize to stop them — as we did when Trump tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
