TRUMP’S INSANE Conservative WSJ editorial page rightly calls Trump’s tariffs “dumbest trade war in history” say he’s taking “liquidationist” approach to US economy & that he’s spooking his own economic advisors. In response, the insane occupant of the White House posted another insane lying tweet:

What would Mitch McConnell have done in a similar predicament? Sady, these Senators appear to believe in bipartisanship while the GOP believes we're in a post-constitutional period. SHUT MUSK DOWN.

Shady AF! Republicans could’ve stopped Trump’s disastrous trade policy & save the economy, but they protected him instead. Trump declared a “economic emergency” to push reckless tariffs. Dems tried to force a vote to end it, so the GOP pulled a stunt to block it: declaring Congress one long day.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

RELY ON SOCIAL SECURITY? GOP’s always called it an “entitlement.” Trump gave Musk task of eliminating SS. First, lie about massive waste & fraud.Then fire those who administer program & give Musk access to your personal data. Make no mistake, Social Security is “the big one to eliminate.”

These are the words of an American President who is systematically suppressing speech & trying to destroy the First Amendment. These are the words of an American President who believes he’s a king. And his supporters, who all feign support for free speech, won’t say a damn thing.

The point isn’t about Newsom himself or any individual politician. The point is we need opposition leadership that isn’t afraid to say in clear terms that we are on the verge of a dark, dysfunction autocratic abyss and doesn’t fear opprobrium or being physical harmed for saying that.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: They're out there saying 'we just passed a bill to eliminate taxes on tips & taxes on SS benefits.' NONE of that's in the bill. But they deny that they're cutting Medicaid. So they want credit for popular stuff that isn't in the bill but ignore the deeply unpopular stuff.
