Foreign films are a national security threat? We’re shaking our heads. We’d laugh if this wasn’t such dangerous, authoritarian rhetoric. What other countries do this? Russia and China.

Trump told everyone to buy stocks hours before walking back tariffs yesterday. And this is the result. There's a name for this: market manipulation. And it’s illegal. He knows exactly what he's doing and will continue to play with people's money until he has everyone bending the knee.
After rolling back many of his tariffs Trump had Charles Schwab and others in the Oval Office.

He pointed out that his guests had made fortunes on the stock market just one hour after his announcement.

“He made 2.5 billion today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.”

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

NEW: The National Institutes of Health will no longer be funding work on the health effects of climate change, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica.

One climate health expert called the directive “catastrophic.”

Donald Trump said that the Secret Service wouldn't let him drive that janky Tesla around the White House yesterday.

Here's Biden driving while in office.

Here's Obama driving while in office.

I don't think Donald knows how to drive anything other than a golf cart.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. 

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. 

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.
Trump to Zelenskyy: "Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. You're in no position to dictate that. You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel. We're gonna feel very good and very strong. You're right now not in a very good position. You're gambling with World War 3."

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” 

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?
