Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

Congress can roll back Trump’s disastrous tariffs by passing new legislation that cancels them. The problem, of course, is that Republicans are too weak to stand up to Trump.

Republicans in Congress can join Democrats right now to turn off the bogus emergency Trump has declared to impose worldwide tariffs. Or they can continue to bend the knee to Trump.

The economy is in free fall. The markets are collapsing. Our soldiers are dying. Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail. Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons. And Trump is fucking golfing.

Ok, so I get it—you’re not an activist. Or, at least maybe that’s the way you’ve always felt.

Yes, businesses absolutely need to show the tariff at the checkout screen. Don't hide it into the cost of the product.

Kellyanne Conjob, Huckleberry Thin and even old Angry Spice were better rapidfire liars than this latest RoboBarbie. Between that flopsweat and her shifty-eyed teleprompter work, I give her two more Scaramuccis, tops.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Maybe I'm being overly generous to CNN, but this is much more agreeable than I'd expect these days from it, starting with the lede: "Millions of people took part in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally on Saturday..." amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/...

Best case he turns off Apr 2nd tariffs Monday. Leaves the 10pct tariffs (not great, but realistic). Elon leaves Doge, which decides to stagger the cuts over 3 yrs, accounting for local impact. That slows the economy, reducing interest rates, reducing payments on debt to affordable levels.

It appears this is the fourth worst back to back day for the DJIA in American history with a two day combined -8.65% loss, only trailing the 1929 crash, 1987 Black Monday, and the 2008 crisis.

Rumors about Elon Musk leaving DOGE were just a distraction—likely spread to prop up the stock after Tesla posted its worst delivery numbers in years and to prevent a potential free fall. Great job to everyone supporting the Tesla boycott!

A judge temporarily blocked Trump’s attempt to cut $11B in public health funding. This funding supports mental health services, vaccine programs, and infection control in nursing homes. VP Trump will surely appeal. We’re keeping an eye on this. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
