Stock markets crashing. Small businesses reeling. National security experts fired. White nationalists advising the President. WHEN will my Republican friends find their voice to say that this cannot continue?

“While uncertainty remains elevated, it is now becoming clear that tariff increases will be significantly larger than expected. The same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation in slower growth.“ -Jerome Powell, Fed Chair #tariffs #Trump #tradewar #economy

#Tariffs are essentially a #tax on #Americans. Importing company pays the tariff. Importing company raises prices on us (the consumer) to make up for the money they paid for the tariff. Simple. Stupid. #Trump #tradewar #liberationday #taxationday

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

The third term talk disappeared fast. So did #SignalGate Why? Because today’s outrage is “Liberation Day” tariffs. Tomorrow’s will be something even worse. This is the game: 🚫 Normalize. ➡️ Distract. 🔁 Repeat.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

We were cleaning Chinas clock economically. Many predicted they would surpass us by now, and they haven’t. But this tariff stuff will close the gap. Idiots

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

The #DonaldTrump and #republican playbook is to lie. If they get called on their lie, they double and triple down until low information voters believe it is true...and #democrats let them control the narrative because they don't push back tenfold! #USA #America #politics #government #resist #truth

Interesting how Trump is slapping tariffs on countless allies but gives a completely free pass to Russia. Yet another sign of this administration’s endless fealty to Putin… and this time, it’s raising your prices in the process.

Liberation Day! The day Donald Trump “liberates” you from a growing and functioning economy. Standby for higher prices and a hit to your retirement accounts. I’m hoping for the best, but his policies are wack!

It’s been over a week. HOW are Hegseth and Waltz still serving? It’s long past time for them to be fired or resign.

We should all expect more from an administration that admits they mistakenly deported a Maryland father to an abusive prison. Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be home with his kids. When incompetence rules, all of our rights are freedoms are less secure.

Why are #Democrats expected to meet unattainable standards yet #Republicans are celebrated for achieving the bare minimum? Democrats: “We just cured lung cancer!” The People: “What about all the other types?” Republicans: “ #Trump changed his own diaper this morning.” The People: “4 more years!”

Cory Booker ending his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor: “Let's get in good trouble." What a fantastic way to cap off his epic 25 hour and 5 minute speech. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
