Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

🚨 The Republican budget gives billionaires a $4.5 TRILLION tax cut while slashing Medicaid, food assistance, and school meal programs.
Oh, and it adds $5 TRILLION to the national debt.

Good for @maddow.msnbc.com for sharing her views on the loss of @joyannreid.bsky.social & others. One thing looks clear from the outside look a lot like all non whites are goners. The freedom of the press is under attack, even when by their own network.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.
This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.
As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

A lady told me today that she was a pedestrian who got hit by a car doing 40mph and she felt Jesus walking with her everyday.
I replied that Jesus can make his own decisions, but if I had been walking with her I would have probably pulled her out of the way of that car.
