You have to scroll pretty far down on the NYT app to find a small piece on a massive national day of protests.

Your most personal data is about to be at Elon’s fingertips

#HandsOff in Chicago

CEOs in response to Trump tariffs: We’re in shock, losing money, thrown for a loop, Never imagined he’d go this far. Me, before Trump took office: He’ll do widespread tariffs and break the system of global trade. Just listen to what he has repeatedly said, and observe what he already did.

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

Oh I throw mud at the men too. I am equal opportunity hating on fake space tourism while people on earth have unmet material needs because of the very people who use obscene wealth to leave the planet.

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

Hard to believe millions see this guy as a hero.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Donald Trump was not elected to bring prosperity to America. He was elected to dismantle America for the Russians and the oligarchs.

Zipping around on his golf cart, Trump was quick to skip the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. Trump elected instead to go golfing and dine with the Saudis. More than 24 hours after the soldiers first went missing, Trump casually…

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

It’s almost as though someone should do something about it.

Donald Trump is a failed businessman who is crashing the American economy. None of these people are fit to govern.

This isn't just donalds doing. The Republicans in Congress own this. They had the ability to stop him and they didn't. This isn't donalds economy, this is the republican economy.

The 5 largest single day $DJIA drops and their corresponding President. There seems to be a pattern here but I can’t quite figure it out.

America has become an authoritarian state. These officials primary loyalty should to be to the United States, not a president who would be king.

The @financialtimes.com is not mincing words "America’s astonishing act of self-harm" on.ft.com/3YjtOLV

President Trump campaigned on lowering credit card costs, but his DOJ just cleared the way for an anti-competitive merger that would create America's largest credit card company. We know how this ends: big payouts for executives, higher costs for consumers and small businesses.

sunk-cost fallacy (n.) -- "the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial"

I thought Musk said he “knew they would lose.” LOL.

The Nasdaq is on track for its biggest one-day drop since March 2020 — the last time Trump presided over a recession.

Pretty rich to see the party that treated wearing masks in respiratory pandemic as an egregious assault on personal freedom now telling the masses that they have to make big sacrifices so that the billionaires can pay less taxes.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

curious about the nature of a relationship that gives laura loomer a private audience with the president in the oval office

The "Front End" will last for years.

every Republican TV hit today

Mnuchin admits that Trump's 10 percent across the board tariff is a "consumption tax" on Americans

* VOLKSWAGEN TO ANNOUNCE MAJOR INVESTMENT IN ARGENTINA, PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN SAYS [Everything's going to plan.] @reuters.com

So let me get this straight—Trump hit places with NO people and NO trade with the U.S. with tariffs… and it’s literally just penguins out there? PENGUINS???

They were all so sure it was all talk. I'd laugh but they fucked all of us.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

So this is going well.

Here's how tariffs work. Tariffs are taxes. Like, say, taxes on cigarettes. When taxes on cigarettes went up, what happened? Did tobacco companies eat the extra cost? Nope. They passed it onto consumers - so cigarette prices went UP. Trump just did that to EVERYTHING you buy.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

I think we are about to find out how badly you can fuck up the bag and still be treated gently by America’s wealthy

There it is. That’s a HUGE part of the reason Trump & the oligarchs love the Gilded Age — the era before the income tax. They want to shift the tax burden back to consumers & working people while the robber barons celebrate their biggest tax cuts in US history. That’s also why Elon decimated govt.

Trump's tariffs are a grab at dictatorial power, but he's been obsessed with them for way longer than he had real plans to destroy American democracy. I have a theory about it, and you can't convince me it's wrong. www.offmessage.net/p/nobody-ask...

turns out the "sleepy" part in "sleepy joe" meant that we could all sleep well because he didnt tank the global economy

. Trashing the stock markets and the world's economies was their intention all along. The oligarchs will have a field day buying up all the distressed businesses and real estate, & get bailouts & tax breaks. For their plan to work, Elon had to first dismantle the government's regulatory agencies.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
