I think it’s fascinating how this administration’s guiding principle on every single policy is just “be evil.” Starving children? Take away their food. AIDS patients? Take away their treatments. Refugees from conflict zones? Deport them. Nations under attack? Cut off assistance. VA? Fire everyone.

Also the funny thing about stuff that’s politically unreastic is that sometimes it becomes politically realistic if you keep pushing. But if you don’t, it definitely doesn’t.

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

This is a wildly dangerous sign — the idea that there are only five SCOTUS votes for paying congressionally mandated invoices for work already done!? This should be as basic a test of Article I as you can get. And that does not bode well for decisions to come.

President Trump said in his address to Congress that he inherited an “economic catastrophe” from Joe Biden. The U.S. had the strongest economy in the world when Trump took over, but it's shown signs of strain from Trump's federal funding cuts and tariffs. Follow live.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%. A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time. Some products cross the U.S. border even more than that.
