I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

All of the stock market plunges have been from tariff proposals. We haven't begun to see the effects of the tariffs themselves or the cumulative effects of things like destroying tourism because we're doing concentration camps, not having good public health oversight, etc.

QUICK: If we are raising these tariffs, taking that money, and simply paying the money to people who are getting hurt, how does that benefit the economy, particularly if it leads to a economic downturn that costs jobs? NAVARRO: Because it brings home our domestic manufacturing Q: That takes years

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

A good thread to repost periodically: recruiters for Canada. Canada had brain-drain for medical services for decades — all our people going south. But recent years have seen more American medical staff moving here. Join them. Here's an US doc's experience of practicing in Canada:
