China and Canada announce retaliatory actions against the US, Mexico to announce theirs in the next day or so. Trump is collapsing the US economy as all countries he’s imposed tariffs on have had time to prepare and diversify their trade with other countries especially the EU.

The latest mass firing by the Trump administration is hitting hundreds of scientists and other workers at @noaa.gov.

While you might not be familiar with the agency's name, you probably benefit from NOAA’s work every day.

NOAA’s work makes weather forecasts possible, in addition to vital research
NOAA’s vast public weather data powers the local forecasts on your phone and TV – a private company alone couldn’t match it
NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.

Kamala Harris warned us numerous times that Donald Trump was going to cut social security and medicare. If more folks had voted for Kamala Harris none of this would be happening right now. 👇

You've been paying into Social Security for years, maybe some of you are collecting the benefits. You have a legal right to collect these benefits and have good service.

A 50% cut in the Social Security workforce is wrong.

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES NOW and encourage others to do so.
