🚨 Trump’s massive tariffs on nearly all imports into the U.S. are now in effect. This is one of the biggest tax increases on Americans in the history of the United States.

Americans are having our services gutted while facing a massive cost of living increase. The economic anxiety is palpable. And yet he wants to spend $90M for a military parade for his birthday. Republicans are ok with this waste, fraud, and abuse? www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/p...

The Constitution gives CONGRESS power over tariffs. Congress gave that power away to the president over the years. The Republican-majority Congress could STOP Trump's tariffs. Right now. BUT THEY ARE CHOOSING NOT TO.

Just an FYI, even the Conservative subreddit is demanding consequences for this COLOSSAL fuckup. That’s how you KNOW it’s bad. This isn’t leadership. It’s the clown conducting a circus. apnews.com/article/trum...

I think they’re all culpable for this, not just Waltz. The fact it happened at all is wild, but none of the other people in the chat even bothered to validate who was on the call? And this wouldn’t have even been an issue had they not been using an *iPhone app* to conduct war planning.

Millions of seniors who rely on Social Security as a lifeline could see their benefits disrupted once DOGE cuts crucial phone services. Why the cuts? To address fraud that amounts to less than 0.00625% of what the government sends out in benefits each year. Hello?

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

Here’s your president America. He believes he should be able to do WHATEVER he wants. And no judge/court should be able to stop him. So I ask you America: Do u agree with him? Should he be able to do WHATEVER he wants? Even if a judge/court says it’s illegal or unconstitutional?
