Several sources tell me a passel of high profile tech and also finance leaders is making a trip to Mar-a-Lago to read Trump the riot act — um talk common sense — to him on the tariffs. Their million dollar donations to the inauguration is turning into billions in losses.

on Bannon's podcast two months ago they were saying the tech CEOs weren't at the inauguration because they'd bought off trump; they'd come as prisoners--vanquished leaders being paraded in front of supports. Sounded like wishful thinking at the time, now makes at least a bit of sense

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow. She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

As Kentucky Democratic Governor Andy Beshear said on CNN today, “Between Trump and Musk. I'm not sure which one is Thelma and which one is Louise, but our economy is that car and they are driving it off the cliff.”

It’s a workers party now

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. Nonetheless, holy shit. What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

Donald Trump’s double-digit tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China have taken effect. The Trump tariffs will lead to more inflation and less economic growth—the exact opposite of what Trump promised the American people. So much for “promises made, promises kept.”

Karoline Leavitt is a vicious, harsh, nasty, typical MAGA White House Press Secretary.....in my opinion.

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

This morning, Republicans finally released their scheme to gut Medicaid and give tax cuts to billionaires. Within minutes, House Democrats convened to make clear this will not stand. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Veterans Housing Education Energy Small Business These are the agencies Elon Musk is actively gutting. Firing thousands—while he rakes in federal contracts and the GOP prepares a massive tax break for the ultra rich. This is not government efficiency. This is a heist.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Team USA heard “The Star-Spangled Banner” booed before its opening game at the 4 Nations Face-Off, despite the announcer urging fans to be respectful. The crowd's negative reaction stirred a range of emotions in the American players. nyti.ms/4aYHocU
