Your wallet is being cleaned out by expert pickpockets. This is criminal. Literally criminal. I call for an IMMEDIATE investigation into who knew what, when, and what they did with the info. You can bet the Admin and many here in DC are considerably richer tonight than they were this morning.

A reminder: Republicans control the House and Senate and it would just take a few to stand up to Trump for the sake of our democracy and economy, but none of them will.

It was the bonds and not any alleged Trump plan — he got spooked and rightly so www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump is going full dictator by pursuing an investigation into Miles Taylor. He also caved on HIS unilateral trade war. His Administration allegedly broke the law by revealing confidential information in Signal-gate. He has kidnapped and deported innocent immigrants.
Keep track of it all.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.
