Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932 as Investors Send ‘No Confidence’ Signal Few think the administration’s negotiations with trade partners will yield results soon enough to ease the strain.

I really hate this season of the White POTUS.

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts.

Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations.

But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people.

It's another scam.

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” 

You have to look no further than the pedestal of Lady Liberty to see what defines America. That’s who we are.  

This speech – and this President – is not who we are.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

These numbers seem important

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Europe needs to back Ukraine with everything then freeze Trump out. Make him absolutely unimportant

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers?

TRUMP: Sure

REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon?

TRUMP: Well, I don't know

A day that shall live in infamy, as should Donald J. Trump The last time a presidential vote was certified, the losing incumbent attempted a coup against the United States. We must never forget his treachery.

January 6, 2021, should live in infamy, as should Trump. robertreich.substack.com/p/today-shal...

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

We lost an election.Not the obligation to point out corruption. Not our principles & purpose.The greatest American value is dissent.Never lose the right or ability to speak truth to power. Never lose the ability to be offended.The greatest American value is the ability to dissent.
