Trump's treasury secretary is looking to exit fhe administration after concerns the tariff debacle is damaging his credibility. I wouldn’t let anyone who supported this tariff plan manage the finances of a taco truck after this let alone any major business or government position.

Hey, I wonder if there's any economic news today. I'll check out the website of America's biggest news network--Fox! Phew. Nothing's up! Biggest news in US today is a very nice Christian woman was slapped for no reason after sticking a camera in a stranger's face & calling her a baby killer.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

BREAKING: I'm placing a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC. For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening political opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech. His nomination must be blocked.

what booker is doing very well is making clear the difference between moral persuasion and legislative power. Democrats have the ability to harness the former, if not the latter, and while it's taken longer than I would have preferred, I'm happy to see it happening.

Very cool that America's executives and financiers will spare no effort or expense to prevent us from enacting even mild social democratic policies and then do this smol bean routine when it comes to a madman toying around with the liquidation of the economy

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending. If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.

There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business. Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does. The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data. DJT fired the archivist.

Liberals would rather die than humble themselves. They lecture about uniting while demeaning the people they want to unite with. Too arrogant to bring themselves down from that pedestal. Can’t even deign to level with anyone they don’t agree with.

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups. Just a reminder.

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary
