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? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Not enough democrats saying what Justin Trudeau says. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/t...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused President Trump of appeasing Russian President Vladimir Putin while launching a trade war against the closest ally of the U.S.

“The United States launched a trade war against Canada. Their closest partner and ally, the closest friend,” Trudeau said. “At the same time, they’re talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make sense.”

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
