Lamont: DOGE says we’re just getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse—that’s nonsense. All they’re doing is pushing costs onto the state. When we get cuts, we don’t get any notice. All of a sudden, the portal turns off and they stop paying for daycare, they stop paying for Health Department services..

Lithuanian president & people paid their respects to 4 American servicemen who died during training exercise. When the soldier’s remains arrived at Dover Air force Base, no US president was there to honor them on behalf of a grateful nation. Trump was golfing & will dine with rich Saudis

Donald Trump has now cost shareholders in the stock market $5 trillion in the past two days. The same amount that Republicans in the Senate want to add to the debt limit. And it's almost as much as Donald added to the national debt in his first term.

There is no "US economy" insulated from the world. We are fully integrated and enmeshed in the global economy. The world may be divided politically, but economically we actually are one. Trump's Tariff Tantrums throw sand in EVERYONE's gears and drag the whole world down including the US.

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.

Lutnick: "Let Donald Trump run the global economy. He's knows what he's doing. He's been talking about it for 35 years. You gotta trust Donald Trump in the White House ... it's broken. Let him fix it ... Let Donald Trump fix the American economy."

The entire worldview of this administration is zero sum. If someone else is winning, we must be losing. That is not how foreign policy works. It's not how economics works. Through soft power and global trade, the US became the dominant global power. Unwinding those structures leaves us weaker.

The tariff hikes raise the risk of a sharp hit to consumers’ inflation-adjusted incomes that could tip the U.S. economy into recession this year.The suite of tariffs announced amounted to a “worst-case scenario” relative to expectations in the run-up to the announcement. www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

Fed Chair Jerome Powell: "While uncertainty remains elevated, it is now becoming clear that tariff increases will be significantly larger than expected, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth." Bravo, Donald Trump and MAGA 🤦‍♀️
