1/ The Declaration of Independence Listed 27 Grievances. Several of King George's abuses seem particularly relevant today. King George: 1. Refused his Assent to Laws necessary for the public good. 7. Obstructed immigration and discouraged population growth.

Cumulative inflation since the Pandemic so far. This is the #1 priority for voters. And here is the long-term impact of Trump's global tariffs. NO ONE other than Trump wanted this. And absolutely no one in the world is going to benefit from it.

So far, Trump has lost $9 trillion in stock market value in an attempt to fix a $1.2 trillion trade deficit. It’s not possible to fully articulate the stupidity currently governing the USA.

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

Nice to see conservatives starting to speak out. Donald Trump is not a conservative. He is not a Republican. He is megalomaniacal narcissistic cartoon supervillain playing out childish fantasies. And the entire world is paying the price.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Nationwide, we did that! ✊🏼 This is OUR country!!! Proud of every single person that made this happen today. We are the majority!

Donald Trump shot the economy in the foot — and now we're all going to suffer.

Nice to hear an expert economist speak on the insanity of Trump's tariff tax.

"I have spent all morning reading economist notes looking for anyone who has something good to say about this news. I found none." Lisa abramovich

FITCH: “This is a game changer, not only for the US economy but for the global economy. Many countries will likely end up in a recession. You can throw most forecasts out the door, if this tariff rate stays on for an extended period of time." 🇺🇸

The indiscriminate #TrumpTariffs are batshit crazy. The tariffs will further tank the markets, increase prices on everyday goods and drive up inflation. Exactly what America does not need. The American people want lower prices, not chaos and increasing prices.

Throughout this trip, I have evoked the words and stories of President Lincoln — a staunch ally to the people of Mexico throughout his life and presidency. I don't use his name lightly. I feel strongly that this trip, at the moment we are in, is a continuation of his legacy.

Take a bow, @Benwikler.bsky.social, @wisdems.bsky.social, and Susan Crawford. David just took down Goliath standing on a pile of money.

'Ruffled some feathers': Wisconsin voters say Elon Musk 'rubbed them the wrong way' www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-wi...

My request for this week is that media outlets do not refer to Trump’s tariffs as “reciprocal” (except in scare quotes). None of our trade partners have tariffs on US goods anywhere near the massive 10-30% universal tariffs Trump is proposing He’s starting this not retaliating

all jokes aside, the idea of getting china, japan, and south korea to agree to literally anything is wild and speaks to just how much of a colossal disaster trump is internationally.

Elon Musk is flying in paid canvassers from Texas to knock on doors in Wisconsin for Brad Schimel. Susan Crawford's supporters are knocking on doors in their own neighborhoods—like the terrific folks of the Teal Team on Madison's West Side. Let's keep knocking till the polls close on April 1!

Adam Schiff for the win! 🔥

Wikler: Musk deleted that tweet because he knows that that tweet was a crime, and it's still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day. You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it's a felony to cross that line.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵
