Remember when the marginal cost difference in the price of eggs was the thing DT voters sought as the hill to die on? With $1000's of price increases courtesy Trumps 25% car/parts tariffs now mandate, buying one foreign car (which a lot of us do) would now pay for untold number of cartons of eggs.

On Trumps 25% tariffs on foreign cars and their parts-- if all these Trump coerced remedies were a good idea, wouldn't our auto industry Capitalist Kings *already* be doing exactly the things they are now being bullied into doing? Hmmm(?)

My question last night at an Empty Chair Town Hall: how would you respond if your son was swept into custody at midnight (“but those tattoos”) with ZERO due process, then cuffed, shaved & stuffed into an airliner, dropped into an El Salvadoran prison. The cardboard Rep. cutouts were silent.

Ok congressional Dems-todays CR vote clown show is not how you inspire mid term voters. Or 2028 voters. Or any voters.

Ok—on the DOGE motive for waste, fraud? Their classic misinformation campaign uses copious Errors of Omission very effectively. GOP and Comm. Director Karoline Levitt fail to highlight the $4trillion debt service up-bump in the resolution, desperately needed to make magical math work.

The ALCU (so far) is the only org I know thus far, openly discussing actual non-cooperation action at a scale to make a difference—national shutdown (not just a ‘govt’ shutdown). I get it this is moving too fast for a sleepy, cynical public. But time to buckle up(!!?!) Some of us remember 1968-1974

Thought experiment: imagine in WWII if the US approached France or Britain after a B-17 mission helping them, with “actually, you owe us $983M now. And—the aluminum for the few wrecked B-17s. Pay up or we fly our planes home. You can thank us for this prompt invoicing too, please.”
