Time for a master thread on all the reasons we are headed for a (likely very bad and prolonged) recession. First, tariffs. So much stove-touching you can’t believe it. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/lut...
Lutnick says Trump's policies are "worth it" even if they lead to recession
The president's tariff announcements have rocked the stock markets and fueled concerns of an economic downturn.

Lemme tell you: this collective of whistle-printing rogues that I'm lucky enough to be a part of? We've printed *and shipped* over 150,000 whistles THIS MONTH. Our output is only increasing. If you need whistles, we'll send you whistles free, no questions asked, 100+ or more: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Alex Pretti’s most immediate legacy is galvanizing the country against tyranny. We should do what we can to see to it that his other legacy is reclaiming the public meaning of masculinity from the whiny, sadistic freaks responsible for his murder. www.offmessage.net/p/alex-prett...

You know what’s crazy? They really did take away Bovino’s Twitter, he hasn’t posted since his removal.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

One of the chief values in the strict scrutiny First Amendment analysis we and others urged the SCOTUS to apply-but SCOTUS declined-is that it would have forced the government to prove its concerns were real. Instead SCOTUS deferred to the government's claims. So here we are: users don't trust it.

Don’t underestimate the number of policies we could extract by weaponizing a relative’s support for Trump.

“Mr. President, the Pope says you should stop all deportations. His brother is a huge Trump fan.”
Trump throws Bovino under the bus - and again says he feels bad about Renee Good only because her dad is a Trump supporter

(All of this shows how vulnerable Stephen Miller is, so we need to keep the pressure on to get him out of the administration.)

My Senator Raphael Warnock voted for the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention, without bond, of non-citizens who committed certain crimes, which has led to over 17,500 people being detained or turned over to ICE:
