After unleashing and then pausing his horrible tariffs, Trump has shown he's far from a man of his word. I look at the impact of Trump's tariff changeup and explain how the effects only helped him and his rich friends. Watch here: youtu.be/lx3ytjy3npU

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

This is the first time one man has crashed the economy. As Americans see their savings evaporate, what are Republicans in Congress doing? Nothing. Republicans need to grow a spine and join Democrats right now to stop this man-made disaster.

Witkoff was a fool for joining that chat from Moscow. But the entire charlatan national security team also chose to put him on that chat when they knew (or should have known) that he was in Moscow. A spy novel based on this level of cretinous behavior would be unbelievable.

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families & sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

It seems odd that if the President has the “inherent” authority in Article II, as understood by the Framers, to summarily remove people from the country, that Congress would felt the need to pass the Alien Enemies Act in the first place, merely 10 years after the Constitution was ratified 🤔

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
