Amazing. Lutnick says they tariffed Heard & McDonald Is. to close a loophole. He thinks, to avoid a tariff, Australia would actually ship millions of tonnes of cargo 4000km south to the Antarctic, to an island with penguins & no infrastructure. These people have no business near government.

The US buys approximately $3.5 billion in goods from Russia annually. The trade deficit in the most recent year was $2.5 billion. Using the same formula as other countries, Russia should have been hit with about a 17% tariff. Oddly, Russia was spared. I wonder why.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Pax Americana rested on three pillars: US military power & defensive alliances, US economic power & free trade, and US diplomatic clout and support for liberal democracy/the rule of law. All three have essentially evaporated in the space of 10 weeks. The American Century (1917-2025) is over.

🚨🚨 "Dumbest president ever just tariffed an island of penguins" is a spot-on summary of what to make of #trumptariffs. Trump is so criminally stupid that there is no way of making rational sense of this. Pure bloody LUNACY. And yeah, it still makes me FUCKING boil. 😡😡

Trump's tariff plan would amount to an $880 billion annual tax hike that will be paid not, as Trump insists, by foreigners but by U.S. businesses and consumers. That’s the largest tax increase since 1942. And he implemented it without congressional approval. wapo.st/4lcJ2fw

It is imperative that Congress take back the power to set tariff rates. Only elected legislators are allowed to raise taxes and only elected legislators should be allowed to raise tariffs — which are simply taxes under another name. wapo.st/4lcJ2fw

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

Cliff notes of Trump’s speech on tariffs today: Blah blah blah. Propaganda. 25% tariff on autos. Lies about eggs. Bullshit. Tariffs for countries that don’t treat us nice. (We will be paying between 10-49% more for all goods) Word salad. Lies. Bullshit.
