Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"
Columbia hits back at Trump by moving to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products
The U.S. is Colombia's largest trade and investment partner, per the State Department.

Jack Smith's report on Jan 6 & Trump's self-coup is out. Familiar facts, but still chilling. Trump's return to power is a real threat. Let's not normalize this. #Democracy needs us to stay vigilant. The Smith report is a #wakeupcall.
