BREAKING: The EU plans to retaliate against US tariffs on steel and aluminum with possible duties on American goods worth $28.3 billion.

Flashback:

Some people making their voices heard during weekly “Mondays with Mackenzie” in my Lehigh Valley swing district: “A crowd of around 200 people gathered Monday outside of U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie’s district office to voice their discontent with recent actions by Republican leaders in Washington.”

I’m proud of my city, Allentown, for standing up for democracy today! @maddow.msnbc.com Hey Rep Mackenzie, time for a Town Hall!

Who agrees with AOC....

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 33 MILLION!!! 👏 LETS DO THIS!!

McGovern: Prices are going up, inflation is up, groceries are up. I saw eggs for $10 recently. Used car prices are up, other than Teslas. Those seem much cheaper these days for some reason.

Mom’s got Dem messaging covered

Epic idea

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show: They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.” Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag… Made in Nicaragua. They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee. Legendary.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

It’s a DOGE eat DOGE World

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks sink again as worries deepen about how much damage the economy will suffer from trade strife; Dow drops 890.

"I want to switch over to Bluesky, but I just don't get the kind of engagement I get on Twitter." Wow, you mean your strategy of following 18 people here and showing up once every three weeks to complain about how quiet it is hasn't paid off? Surprising!

BREAKING: The market. $SPY is down 2.03%, Bitcoin is below $80k, and numerous individual stocks like Tesla $TSLA, Apple $AAPL, $GOOGL Google, and $NVDA Nvidia are down 10-40% year to date.

Tesla shares now $11 away from a 50% drawdown. @cnbc.com $TSLA

One of these Trumps is not like the other. 🇺🇸 @fundstratscapital.bsky.social

just inane. "For the farmers in the Central Valley, it was not irrigation season, and this was their precious summer supply..." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Republicans in Congress are saying their tax plan will cost $0. That's a lie. The truth: they want to pay for billionaire tax handouts by adding trillions to the deficit and slashing health care coverage. Republicans can try to repeal math, but they can't repeal reality.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

👀 The Times published a cartoon titled "General Address to Congress."

last night, the minute we heard* Trump admit that Musk runs DOGE, we told the court in this filing. *we, in this case, is @nationalsecuritylaw.org and @jerald.bsky.social because I was watching a horror movie, something I thought would be less traumatizing than the speech

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

* MEXICO PRESIDENT: TO ANNOUNCE RETALIATORY MEASURES ON SUNDAY * MEXICO PRESIDENT: NO ONE WINS WITH THIS DECISION @reuters.com

Bluesky Law: we should using the phrase “arbitrary & capricious” more. Every day.

These people voted us into a depression because they were too stupid to understand Trump was actually gonna do the thing he spent months saying he’d do.

Seems like the real Gamergate was the enemies we made along the way

JUST IN: US stocks slid Monday as investors braced for President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China to go into effect by the midnight deadline.

The farmers I’ve spoken with still haven’t recovered the market share they lost the last time Trump imposed tariffs — over four years ago. This time, they’ll hurt even more. Much more. This is fun for whom, exactly?
