Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️

Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.

He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Canada is experiencing a net increase of US doctors practicing here, which is great because we have a doctor shortage.

This American doctor's account praises the medical system here over that in the US.

Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

The Justice Department is slashing its public corruption unit—because the easiest way to hide corruption is to stop looking for it.

📌 Prosecutors have been told they will be asked to take new assignments in the department and as few as five lawyers may remain in the unit.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times.

Report: Trump Had Over $280 Million In Debt Forgiven And Avoided Paying Taxes On Most Of It
The debt largely came from his Chicago tower.

It’s only been 6 weeks since the Inauguration. Republicans are not suddenly going to flip. The blowback from Trump voters would be enormous. They won’t change a thing until life gets so difficult for their MAGA constituents, that they send them them message that they are finished in Congress.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.

PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

I’m am a huge sports fan, but I feel it going away quickly. The owners of franchises are all guys you hate. Billionaires. They employ millionaire athletes, who are also grossly entitled. To go to a game as a family costs several hundred dollars. Sports gambling. It’s all money. I’m about done.
