Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Everyone needs to remember that GOP’s goal for decades has been to rip down the federal government. Populating every rank with people profoundly unqualified and deeply uninterested in making the government actually work for the people is part of the plan.
