Trump tariffs live updates: China retaliates with 84% tariffs on US goods as Trump trade war escalates Beijing raises its levy on US imports from 34%, after the US president's 104% tariff on China kicked in today.

China can hurt us and will hurt us.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says his mother-in-law wouldn't complain if her Social Security check didn't arrive.

Itโ€™s difficult for me to relate, because unlike Lutnick my mother-in-law does not have a son-in-law who has a net worth of $4 billion

Screenshot of a tweet from Acyn ((@Acyn) The tweet quotes Vance saying, 'When you don't have the best standards in who you're hiring, it means on the one hand, you're not getting the best people in government. But on the other hand, it puts stresses on the people who are already there.' Below the tweet, there is an image of a person speaking at a podium with the White House seal in the background. The person is wearing a suit and red tie, and there are American flags on either side of the podium. The broadcast is live on C-SPAN2.

We donโ€™t have any standards on who weโ€™re putting in charge of our government now. And thatโ€™s putting stress on the people already there.

putin referred to the war in Ukraine as "a bit of action," adding, "When we get bored, we want some action."

Wow, so invading other countries is just a way to "have some fun"?

The only president with dementia who desperately needs, at the very least, an electric scooter to stay entertained.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itโ€™s not intellectually superior. Itโ€™s the virus theyโ€™re trying to infect us with. NO
