Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

Exports of U.S. farm products declined by 60% after the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1929.

Countries retaliated with tariffs of their own, then turned to other sources for key U.S. farm products—such as wheat, pork, and cotton.

Exports did not fully rebound until after World War II.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive.

Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it.

Whoops.

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban?
The Utah Legislature's own newly-released study found that gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Now, will lawmakers lift the treatment ban?

Today, we remember Uvalde.

We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down.

The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive.

The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies.

We need an assault weapons ban. Now.

@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov as one of your constituents, let’s bring this man home!!! Where’s your plane tickets?!?
Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man.

Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

Anyone know how to change your withholding so social security isn’t taken out? I don’t want to keep paying into this system if it’s going to be gone before I’m able to retire. (Which is seeming more and more impossible by the day 😞)

I lost 15% from my retirement accounts and 13% from my daughter’s 529C account in a matter of days. How long will it take to recoup those losses? And for what?? How are we better off? This admin is an absolute 💩 show
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

I have a LOT of anger towards you, Ackman
my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

Reminder no. 871: Congress can stop this insanity any time it so chooses.

Under the Constitution, *Congress*, not the President, has the power to tax and to impose tariffs. They gave it away. They can take it back.

Call your Congress reps, especially if they are GOP. Tell them: ENOUGH!

Blow up GOP phone lines!!!
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

If you have a GOP representative or senator, I am begging you to blow up their phone lines today. Hell, even if you don’t call the closed GOP rep/senator to you. We need to bring the same energy from this past Saturday and melt down their phone lines!

The first corporation to stand up to this bullshit is highly likely to gain a windfall of business from fed up Americans looking to support anyone with a spine. Honestly standing up to TFG seems like a good business strategy right now. We need more Costco, less Target
