This is a pretty cool tool that was posted on a Reddit thread. Very helpful and provides citations of sources. And yes, the tariffs formula that Trump is using has a fundamental math error. Destroying the global economy with a known math error. And congress is doing nothing.

Amazing how Republicans have screamed for years against raising taxes, yet they are touting these tariffs for bringing in up to 6 trillion in revenue. If that ends up being true (it won’t) THAT’S A NEW TAX AND DOUBLE THE CURRENT FEDERAL BUDGET! How is this not obvious?! Fucking morons!

I believe the majority of Americans don’t understand how insignificant it is for a billionaire to spend 24M on a campaign. If you assume Musk has 300B available to him to spend, that is the equivalent of a nice dinner for your family of four. It’s an obscene amount of wealth that makes him immune.

I’m thrilled Susan Crawford won in Wisconsin. But I’m lost at headlines calling her liberal. Isn’t this part of the problem? Law should not be liberal or conservative, it should be focused on justice for all people. No judge or lawyer should be looking at justice through a political lens.

What many don’t understand about cuts to research grants is, it takes decades of tedious work to develop something that can fix medical conditions. Cuts today are denying people decades from now their ability to reduce suffering.

I thought business schools taught about the buggy whip industry in the era of cars? So now we want to revive coal burning in the era of clean energy. This is truly a government that is working backward. I think a business would fail with this thinking. Oh, wait he did multiple times.

Among the dumbest of moves, the administration is saying they won’t provide power from hydroelectric to Canada. The problem is Canada releases water for the US to make power and grow crops. Did they not learn how gravity works?

@schumer.senate.gov So now what? Our courts have already failed us, congress has failed and it’s clear your aligned with Trump. The rest of us will suffer so your DC home stays comfy.

Just a reminder to all those that may have family or friends who supported Trump but now say they regret it. Please make sure to tell them that is not enough, they need to call their reps. Their voice carries weight, and they must help fix this not just regret their decision.

For those of us who have read history, studied government systems, worked in and with governments, we deeply understand and appreciate this analogy.
Government is like vaccines—taken for granted until people start dying without it.

The great duh! Of all time. The farmers will be the ones who get hurt by this, so stupid.
2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of California reservoirs after President Trump’s order to open dams. But water experts say the water will not flow to Los Angeles, and that it's being wasted by being released during the wet winter season: cnn.it/3CyhEHy

There are two major problems with Trump’s order, water experts said: The water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season.

As someone who spent a career working in the water industry, including CA State water supplies, this is truly the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. These systems are so carefully balanced, releasing water now can have devastating consequences this summer. Moron doesn’t even come close.
Trump says he opened California’s water. Local officials say he nearly flooded them.
The Army Corps of Engineers moved to release massive quantities of water in Central California, panicking local officials.

This is why we can’t react to the insanity. It feeds them. As Mark Cuban stated in his post we must be strategic in our response.
