Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy?
It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook.
Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump.
But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time.
Let your reps hear from you.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting.
At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.
Truth be told, the people of Europe 'aren't' crying out for Americans to defend us... politicians are, like headless chickens!
The people of Europe overwhelmingly want to increase aid to Ukraine, get Ukraine under a European security umbrella, increase our own defence spending, and get on with it.
The US Department of Agriculture has halted $500 million in deliveries to food banks nationwide, multiple food banks told CNN. The Biden administration had announced the additional funding last year.
Trump's plan for poor people is he wants them to starve to death. #EconSky t.ly/f6tzD

Trump is targeting law firms that defend federal employees, expanding his campaign of retaliation against lawyers he opposes. A new memorandum threatens to use government power to punish any firm that, in his view, unfairly challenges his administration.
