On this day back in 1990, twins, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson of the band Nelson, released their #1 hit, Love and Affection.

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

“Yes, it’s a great time to buy Tesla stock…as it’s component manufacturers double their prices due to 104% tariffs and its international consumer markets increase sales taxes anywhere from 10 to 50%” - someone who knows nothing about how anything works

Waaay to familiar!

“.. Tokyo hasn’t imposed tariffs on car imports since 1978 .. The source of their grievance is, in reality, something far simpler: The cars aren’t good enough.” 🇯🇵 @gearoidreidy.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

Trump: "I said to [the former hostages], was there any sign of love? Did Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like what happened in Germany."

"So Trump will impose these tariffs and sit back and wait for other world leaders to petition the king with their offerings that will ultimately expand his own power, all the while we are the collateral damage. We all get thrown under the bus; 350 million people suffer so that one man can benefit."

The global stock markets have declared an unequivocal vote of no confidence in Donald Trump. It’s time for Congress to do the same.

Let's repeat it for folks in the back. When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE! He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Does the Privacy Act not exist anymore? It is bewildering how many laws which governed basic public sector practices for decades are being ignored.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction
