Trump’s chaotic tariff scheme slammed as “malpractice” by fmr. FTC Chair @linamkhan.bsky.social.
Small businesses will be decimated, American households will face higher costs—while large corporations will benefit from “backroom deals,” she warns. #Velshi

Trump’s tariff plan is ‘malpractice,’ says former FTC Chair Lina Khan
Trump’s sweeping tariffs are marked by “total incoherence” and “malpractice,” warns Lina Khan, the former chair of the Federal Trade Commission. “Families and households are going to see inflated costs while small businesses are going to get decimated– and big firms are going to be best positioned to come out ahead," Khan tells Ali Velshi. The uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariffs is paralyzing smaller firms, warns Khan, clearing the way for monopolies and “sweetheart deals” that benefit the well-connected. “The biggest of the big corporations can basically, in backrooms, create trade agreements that punish working Americans [and] small businesses,” she says.

You can’t make this up. The Trump admin is erasing images of one of the servicemembers who raised the flag at Iwo Jima.
What an outrageous act of disrespect to one of America’s heroes. His name is Pfc. Ira Hayes, and he deserves to be honored.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.
The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.
Now, they are trying to lie about it.
Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.
