Well written missive from my local wine merchant explaining how tariffs will damage the same, integrated distribution network that serves the domestic industry, and ultimately shrink the total market. Ricardo is very much alive. #econsky cc @scottlincicome.bsky.social

If officials continue denying what happened, Senate Intelligence Committee should subpoena poc phones. If texts have been deleted, investigate if records act was violated.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Panic sets in when Trump national security team can't find their phone. youtu.be/ewZP0G3bsdw?...

📸 @DrBiden just dropped a new pic with @JoeBiden in NYC, captioned: “Date Night.” Man, I miss them.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

This is the classic Trump/Maga move based on inability to feel shame or tell the truth. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Wow. Straight up fascism. Threatening free speech. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

Meanwhile in PNW tech bro country: "Similar to the crowds that have gathered outside Tesla dealerships around the country, the group in Redmond hopes to send a message that they don’t want the billionaire involved in the federal government..." www.seattletimes.com/business/dog...

Her daughter died, what’s worse than that?

“Our nation has never so brazenly sold out a country struggling to be free... If Trump and Vance do that, the mark of Cain will never wash off. They will go down in history as “Neville Trump” and “Benedict Vance.” Likewise Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and nation…”

This is a mission everyone should be able to get behind. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been torn from their families. No effort must be spared to bring them home:https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/

There’s always a tweet

69% of [BofA Fund Manager Survey] investors say 'US exceptionalism' has peaked. We are now seeing a great migration out of U.S. stocks to foreign markets with better prospects. #EconSky #FinSky

More on retail sales. Spending is dropping at restaurants, probably as worried consumers cut back. Spending at restaurants & bars has been trending lower for a few months. #EconSky

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

God love ya, Prez Joe Biden Happy St Patrick’s Day youtu.be/_l0mSAgar90?...

Canada is strong. Together with our allies, we are even stronger. Good to meet with you in France, President Macron. The friendship between our two countries is the envy of the world.

A memo has just leaked revealing that the Trump administration is planning to sabotage the Social Security Administration. Their plan would gut the agency’s claims process, potentially preventing millions of Americans from getting their earned benefits. Per @juddlegum.bsky.social:

Dead man talking. 82-year-old Seattle man battles back from the grave to restore Social Security benefits. “Here's a 'dead' person on Social Security in Seattle, with plenty to say” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.

We are no longer the leader of the free world.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is evil. Pure evil.

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

Hubby says no flowers for Valentines Day so I got her a bouquet of magazines and chocolates and “On Tyranny.”

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

As usual it’s the kids who get hurt the most.
