Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

Classic abuser move: create a crisis and then position yourself as its solution. After the abuser “solves” the crisis, he will expect gratitude and adoration.

If some Republicans in Congress don't like things Trump does, but are scared to speak out cuz Trump & MAGA threaten their jobs or lives, & also their families'. What can we do? In other authoritarian regimes, how have such people been protected? @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Just wondering where @stephruhle.bsky.social is these days? Used to be a prolific poster. Maybe still on the oligarch’s platform? I am wondering her observations on Scott Bessent giving Musk free rein at Treasury.
