Tariffs are like throwing rocks in the economic engine, then asking the Fed to fix the noise by adjusting the radio volume. Interest rates can tune demand, but they can’t magically make a trade war painless.

Today marks 100 days until the expiration of the New START Treaty--the last remaining agreement that limits U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear forces. Once it expires, we will be left with no legal barrier to a major buildup of the world's two largest nuclear arsenals. (🧵👇)

📢NEW: @ucs.org finds that most of the nation’s affordable homes were in counties exposed to 1 or more weeks’ worth of heat alerts in 2024. Major metropolitan areas account for about 1/3 of the affordable housing exposed and thousands of counties in less densely populated areas account for ~2/3.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

🚨THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Chicago journalists are suing the Trump administration for using excessive force against reporters & protestors in violation of the 1A.
The press here is doing astounding work documenting how ICE is out of control. The violence they face in doing so is obscene.

Then claim the reaction is insurrection to justify even more authoritarian action.
