GOP Sen. Susan Collins on Trump’s tariffs: “I'm very concerned about the tariffs going into effect. Maine and Canada's economy are integrated. Much of our lobster, blueberries are processed in Canada and then come back over. We have a paper mill in northern Maine that's right on the border.”

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.

Un-fucking-believable. We all saw Trump get handed the best economy in ages, and we all know he and Musk are the ones wrecking it. Larry Kudlow is a lying shitbag, like all GOP and MAGA.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

We need to trust our eyes. Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.
