Corporations who donated to Republicans were more likely to get tariff exemptions during Trump's first term. Now, tech companies like Apple are getting major tariff carveouts. Who donated $1M to Trump's inauguration? Apple CEO Tim Cook. It's crony capitalism.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Trump just defended Putin after Russian forces once again murdered families with children on the way to church, this time even on a holy Palm Sunday.

Frank Zappa was a brilliant man born before his time 💯

Oh, holy sh*t. Enjoy.

Europe needs to decide once and for all to beat Russia and to take control over Russian Europe. Then we shall have peace and prosperity.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

Russia is a crime syndicate combined with a terrorist organisation. It needs to be defeated, destroyed. It's occupation of the territories in Europe and Asia must end.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Pathetic.

You tell 'em, AOC!

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.

All Of This….

I would say that U.S is still at high risk of heading into a recession with its tariffs on China, simply because of how much it imports from China, and because I do not see the current administration as capable of handing the resulting challenges.

MTG dabbling in insider trading now too

Wynn-Williams “said the company was letting advertisers know when the teens were depressed so they could be served an ad at the best time.”

JUST IN: today, the UK imposes financial sanctions on Georgia’s (so-called) Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, two other police/security officials and the Chief Prosecutor. Timely targeted sanctions are a great way to hinder the rapidly consolidating dictatorship! Thank you!

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

Sanders: Tariffs used selectively are a good idea if they're going to protect American jobs. But to arbitrarily, out of nowhere, come up with a tariff that they can't even justify or explain to virtually every country on Earth is absolutely counterproductive

What a duo of tweets.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Countries participating in the victory parade in Moscow this year lmao

So, it's not about trade imbalances but trade itself. Specialization, and trade, is what makes civilization possible. If everybody just provided for themselves we would live like hunters and gatherers only.
