Senator Van Hollen cannot be any more clear as to what this is all about. It’s about the rule of law. Period. Not the whims of an authoritarian or our feelings toward any individual. If you allow it to be dismissed for even one person. Any person. You risk suffering the same fate.

Normally, U.S. Treasuries rally (interest rates go down) in a market downturn, because they are seen as a safe harbor. The fact that this isn’t happening is a serious red flag.

NEW: China increases tariffs on US imports from 84% to 125%. The dollar is slumping. US bond yields are rising, threatening a debt crisis. Stock market is set for worst week since global financial crash. Trump is in a war he should never have started. And he doesn’t have the cards.

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later. Nothing to see here.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

This is insane. Arguably the greatest achievement of the first Trump administration was Operation Warp Speed. And mRNA technology has tremendous potential. Recall recent news that mRNA vaccines show promise against pancreatic cancer in early trials www.nbcnews.com/health/cance...

Kinzinger: Donald Trump threatens our allies because he's small, he's scared, he's a coward. And you can threaten your friends because you know you're not going to start a war over it, and it makes you look really tough

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
