The headline says a lot but Trump took over the market when it was strong as opposed to say Bush who took over a market showing signs of weakness.
So worst start ever and he started from a good market.
Trump is failing all of us.

Trillions, with a T, evaporated from peoples' 401Ks, PERA, or their benefits, because Trump made a reckless decision based on imaginary math.
MAGA is solely responsible for this. But keep wearing your red hats- I hope you don't know anyone who was planning on retiring soon.
UGH.

@CoryBooker breaks Strom Thurmond's racist record while talking about John Lewis.
This is the country I'm proud of - the country I wish Republicans leaders would remember.
Good people doing good things is the country I'll fight for.

Making call for today's Co Springs Municipal Election. Just called a 95 year old lovely lady who had a neighbor drop off her ballot & then chatted w/ a young man who had mailed in his ballot.
Our voting system in CO is fantastic. So many ways to make sure your voice is heard.

Trump hates this portrait that Republicans fundraised for. It hangs in the Colorado Capitol.

Judge:
“Could the President decide that he wasn’t going to appoint or allow to remain in office any female heads of agencies or any heads over 40 years old?”
Trump’s lawyer:
“I think that that would be within the President’s constitutional authority under the removal power”
Yes, these are real

The CO State Senate went long into the night last night.
Did you know that you have to conclude work by midnight & start again at 12:01?
That means doing the Pledge of Allegiance at 12:01. Doing roll call even though no one has left. It feels silly.
If you don’t end, all work is lost.

I have zero problem trying to make the gov’t leaner. I have serious problems w/ how Trump is doing it.
You can’t be reckless
You can’t be vindictive & partisan
Americans are stranded w/o work, w/o comms in conflict zones.
They are at risk b/c of Trump’s emotional decision.

I’m thrilled that @kenmartin.bsky.social will lead the DNC and our shared effort to win back voters and seats across the country.
He is a joyful warrior and his team loves him.
He did the work to earn a convincing first ballot win - that’s what we need now - hard work.
Lets go! Congrats Ken.

Trump releasing water is flooding farms, depleting a scarce resource, and it did nothing, nothing at all, for the contained fires in LA.
He is a snake oil salesman.
For my #coolitucs peeps, this is like releasing water from Green Mountain to fight a fire east of I-25.

The Trump spending freeze supported by @GabeforColorado is #1 against the law & #2 will impact services we all rely on.
More silly is @GabeforColorado doesn’t know the impact of the thing he is supporting & doesn’t seem to know the job of Congress is the power of the purse.
