Trump and the U.S. are officially in a trade war with China.
Here’s what you should know.

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

The Trump tariff roller-coaster goes off the rails. The mad king makes a mockery of the rule of law. The Reverse Robin H Is Trump F***ing the Economy? | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

The Trump tariff roller-coaster goes off the rails.

The mad king makes a mockery of the rule of law.

The Reverse Robin Hood budget bill begins.

Heather and I break down this week's news — and take a sneak peek at my new memoir — on today's Coffee Klatch.

Wishing everyone a peaceful evening as we continue to fight for our democracy.

This morning in Chicago’s Hyde Park checking out the construction of the Barack Obama Presidential Library

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill.

Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches?

Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%.

See the problem?

A witch hunt is underway. We’ve faced many before. Take a breath. Stay grounded.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

If you give in to extortionists, they’ll extort you and others for more. If you let bullies get their way, those bullies will bully you and others even more menacingly.

Pete is pissed.

Weird to think that Jeffrey Goldberg is probably the most ethical and patriotic person on that group chat.

Social media screenshot of a WhatsApp post announcing Meta AI's launch in the EU and UK, with a reply from user helen_czerski asking "How do I turn you off?" The post shows social media engagement metrics like likes and reshares.

This is what a worldwide Tesla boycott looks like. Reports just in show that Tesla sales in San Diego have dropped by 35% this month. We likely won’t have a full picture of U.S. sales for another week.

The White House reportedly wants to recruit corporate sponsors for its annual Easter Egg Roll.

The financial backers could spend as much as $200,000 on a "sponsorship" and gain exclusive access to the Oval Office.

Is there anything that's not for sale under Trump?

“But our data!” Is the new “Her emails!”

Bernie Sanders is paving the way forward for Democrats. The party should follow his lead.

ICYMI: Trump has dropped investigations and enforcement actions against 89 lawbreaking corporations, including:

-42 cases at the CFPB
-15 cases at the DOJ
-6 cases at the EEOC
-7 crypto cases at the SEC

It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.
