Ali Velshi: The dwindling of America's middle class wasn't inevitable; it was a policy choice.
An economy that works for everyone isn’t a fantasy; it’s a choice. We’ve just been making the wrong one. Now it’s time for America to choose better.

This is clearly more of the bully mentality. Cause fear!
This is not normal.
The Administration's arrest of a sitting judge in Wisconsin is a drastic move that threatens the rule of law.
While we don’t have all the details, this is a grave step and undermines our system of checks and balances.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Another instance of the art of the deal man not being able to make a deal or choosing not to? Clearly, the latter, so isn’t that defying SCOTUS?
In a meeting with Trump, El Salvador's president refused to return a man the U.S. illegally deported. Attorney General Pam Bondi also insisted "that's not up to us."
El Salvador won’t return wrongly deported Maryland man
Attorney General Pam Bondi, sitting near Trump, said it is up to El Salvador to decide if they want to return him.

Markets aren’t reacting to tariffs — they’re reacting to leadership ignoring economic fundamentals.

Donald Trump's tariffs are a $3,800-a-year tax on your family.
Everything you buy – from coffee, to cars, to clothes – is about to get a lot more expensive.

Trump says his tariffs will raise $6 trillion.
Assuming that's over 10 years, that's $600 billion per year.
There are 134 million households, so this is nearly $5,000 per household per year.
And it's like a sales tax, so it's a flat tax. A huge hit to the budgets of working folks.
