I want to know what trades were made by members of the Trump Administration before these unhinged tariff moves?
Who, if anyone, shorted stocks before the tariffs were first announced? Who bought back into the market before this pause was announced? Who is profiting from this?

i wonder who Trump told about his tariffs pause in advance 🤔 would've been very lucrative information to have

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?"
This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.
He has some thoughts.

Seeing these enormous crowds gathered outside to protest Donald Trump, I am reminded of how Donald had to move his inauguration *inside* the Capitol because he was afraid (rightly) that the crowds outside would be too small.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.
The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.
We must end that international embarrassment.
Yes. We need Medicare for All.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.
