worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

Trump has, in less than 100 days, ended America's century of global dominance. All of the economic and political privileges that Americans have taken for granted their entire lives are going to vanish.

I appreciate the people who are dreaming of using all this to advance progressivism and social democracy but I’m focused on the real solution now: punishing the evil people behind it. That’s how you build the consensus we need, not a better welfare state

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit. That’s child neglect. CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment being expressed by citizens and governments around the world to the effect no one should be traveling to the United States at this time. Under our current government, we are a danger to ourselves and everyone else, and should be avoided.

They're placing probationary employees on paid administrative leave and giving them back pay. Basically, taxpayers are paying for a bunch of federal employees to do nothing for a month and counting. I don't have an MBA so maybe someone can explain to me how this improves efficiency.

They lost their savings investing in Trump’s meme coin, and their Medicaid benefits will be slashed in Trump’s new budget. Now they’re in a financial hole, and there’s only one person they trust to get them out: Donald Trump.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

We've had a lot of recessions, but this is the first one that is completely unforced and entirely owed to just one person. What part of Trump promising "lower prices on day one" meant a market crash, economic recession, and surging prices?

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
