Wow. đź‘€

June 2024. El Salvador. This is how it started.

Are we great yet?

Trump: countries are sovereign!* * sovereignty does not include Canada, Denmark, Mexico, Panama, Ukraine...

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

Reminder: this is the same plan Russian operatives offered to Paul Manafort in exchange for their help getting Trump elected in 2016. (See Manafort’s testimony in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report.)

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Did Trump incite a war against . . . CHRISTMAS?

Pilot puts plane into a nosedive, pulls out at the last minute, saunters back into the cabin looking for high fives from the vomit covered passengers.

"The same people in the administration promising the return of domestic manufacturing and coal mining are also dismantling measures to keep workers safe. They’re the same people who don’t believe in a minimum wage that could feed a family. They’re the same people who want to see unions crushed."

Listen up, ladies:

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Republicans are objectively a disaster for the economy

Stop calling 'em "tariffs on China" – these are tariffs on Americans for Chinese products.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Let's be clear that this thing Trump just said about having no trade deficits with any country would be far more radical, more disruptive, and more expensive, than every single leftist dream you have ever heard put together, including Medicare for All, Guaranteed Housing, and Universal Basic Income.

Portland, ME showed up. #HandsOff

I’m sure the young guys who’ve been told the world owes them an easy life will jump at the chance to work a twelve hour shift at a blast furnace

LFG Asheville! We will not be silenced #HandsOff 🇺🇸

Hands Off Protest Boston! April 5, 2025 Boston Common

Protesters in Columbus, Ohio are out at the Hands Off! protest! Thank you, Ohio!

I’m just sayin’. St Augustine FL is a town of 14,000. In a red county. And we’re doing this. #handsoff #50501 #April5 AND we have some spicy signs!

Protesters are showing up in Buffalo, New York for the Hands Off! protest!

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

You can’t tariff your way to prosperity.

The faulty logic of bringing manufacturing jobs back. Current 12.7 M manufacturing jobs Current 158 M non-manufacturing jobs If tariffs increase manufacturing jobs by 25% over five years, we would add 3.2 M. However, tariffs cost the US 3% in non-manufacturing jobs; we would lose 4.75 M now.

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Still true.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Thanks for gift article. It's powerful: "Mr. Trump is saying there will be no tariff exemptions. But watch that promise vanish as politicians, including Mr. Trump, see exemptions as a way to leverage campaign contributions from business. Liberation Day is Buy Another Yacht Day for the swamp." Wow.

Surely THIS will make us great!

Are we great yet?

So. Much. Winning.

I didn’t know Mark Twain even knew Trump 🤣 “You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear.” ~Mark Twain
