The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

Tariffs: when you tax your own citizens to teach another country a lesson they won’t learn.

Senate GOP leaders succeed in protecting Trump tariffs It comes the same day the Commerce Department reported that the U.S. economy contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter — the first contraction in three years.

Tariffs are raising costs for American families and hurting our economy. Senate Republicans could’ve voted to end them.

They chose not to because they’re afraid to stand up to Trump.
