Trump costing us a fortune accomplishing nothing in Yemen as he continues his new war to divert attention away from the economy, his failure to broker a Ukraine deal, and his autocratic takeover of American institutions.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Jim Cramer tears into Trump over the stock market free fall:
The market was doing great — until the Trump Admin sowed a level of uncertainty I haven’t seen since Jimmy Carter…I cannot think of another president in my lifetime who could knock down the stock market simply by opening his mouth
