The International Longshore and Warehouse Union says it "unequivocally condemns" the Trump tariffs. "Tariffs are taxes. These and other reckless, shortsighted policies have begun to devastate American workers." "These tariffs are nothing more than a direct attack on the working class."

Amazon stocks fell by 2% Tuesday after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed the retail giant for a "hostile and political act" over President Donald Trump's tariffs, according to Forbes.

📌Hold on, goddammit: If tariffs are so good for our economy, why doesn't the White House want us to see what they are actually costing us??????

Trump doesn’t have policies so much as he has urges. His constant chatter is a desperate plea that we keep him front of mind—and not his direct assaults on the democratic and constitutional order.

With the shuttering of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, rules are changing on bank overdraft fees, medical debt’s credit impact and more.

When does the winning start?

Burgum claims the White House is working "around the clock" on trade deals (they have consummated zero of them so far)

Casar: "I think any other country looking at us goes, 'Oh my god, what happened to America? How are these billionaires allowed to have such enormous conflicts of interest while they run the government?'"

This program was first implemented by Trump during his first term.

I guess they think only immigrant truckers will fail.

BREAKING: White House calls Amazon tariff price display "hostile and political"

If you’re wondering what Elon Musk has been up to it’s not about saving Americans money. It’s about saving himself money. Musk has used his position leading DOGE to illegally evade oversight, derail investigations, and make litigation disappear whenever he chooses, on his terms and at his command.

Trump is demanding that DOGE investigate polls after his favorability numbers tanked so badly that even Fox News couldn’t spin them to look good. He’s calling it all “fraud.” Seems like a very “efficient” use of tax dollars.

Morale is in the toilet. The Trump administration’s months-long hunt to root out the resistance is ramping up. Investigations are intensifying, with polygraph tests being used to create a climate of fear and intimidation.

"If a Purple Heart doesn’t protect you, nothing will. If active-duty military personnel and their families, with guns and guards, aren’t safe from Trump and his minions, how safe are you? Americans must take heed of this." Commentary from @membrich.bsky.social ⤵️

Who among us could possibly forget how Donald Trump promised during the 2024 presidential campaign to cut funding for child abuse prevention? Another very clear, very explicit, totally unambiguous campaign promise kept! Along with blocking salmonella protection, he's on a roll in keeping promises!

The Secretary of Agriculture announced yesterday that the Admin is about to ask Congress for hundreds of billions to bail out farmers because of Trump’s tariffs.

Even the Atlantic can slip into the trap of adopting Trump's rhetoric. It says "Trump is delivering" on his commitment "to...cut government waste." Trump is cutting government operations, not government waste. He's not evaluating what is wasteful; he's slashing important programs—which has a cost.

"Going before a grand jury isn’t a nicety or a minor procedural step. The Fifth Amendment requires it. Arresting Dugan before convening a grand jury was intended to get flashy headlines and whip the MAGA faithful into a frenzy."

We are not even quite 100 days in and this is the dumb red meat shit they are having to break the glass on in response to tanking poll numbers

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Trump cut FEMA funding to own the libs — and now his biggest supporters are left underwater, literally. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The Trump administration is showing open and direct hostility toward the judicial branch, identifying any judge who dares to defy them as an “activist judge.”

Every damn word of this.👇

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

Another taxpayer funded bailout for victims of Trump’s stupidity, most of whom are his voters.

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

This is how you accurately write a headline. Rolling Stone gets it.

WAPO: “.. ocean-container bookings from China to the U.S. are down by more than 60 percent .. “.. The consequence will be ‘empty shelves in U.S. stores in a few weeks and covid-like shortages for consumers ..’” @davidjlynch.bsky.social @jeffstein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

SCOTT PELLEY says ‘60 Minutes’ executive producer Bill Owens resigned after Paramount started meddling in their content, because they wanted to get their merger approved by Trump — specifically mentioning their coverage of Israel and Trump.

Trump says that any American who shows “dissension” against MAGA should be “immediately ejected” from their member of Congress’ town halls. This is fascism.
