The last time the US set tariffs this high, it was 1930 -- and it sparked a global trade war that caused international trade to PLUMMET.

Clean food was nice while it lasted. Is this what you want, not being able to trust that the food you eat and the medicine you take won't kill you or your family?

Putin just pulled off the heist of the century, got the whole world tangled in a tariff war with the U.S., destroying the dollar, tanked our stock market, and shoving us to the a great recession. All in under three months. With our (or his) president holding the door open.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

Impeachment is no longer enough. He should be arrested and charged with treason and a coup attempt, just like Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil.

What does the state have to gain by torturing this woman?
I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.
She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.
This is what bans do.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

RIP Wilson Center. Musk staffers visited the center, and shortly after, its leadership staff and senior government employees were ousted. Dozens of federal employees, about a third of the center’s workforce, were also slated for administrative leave.
