Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Christ, let's stop with this. Trump is wrong or lying. U.S. consumers pay tariffs, not foreign entities
While President Trump has promised the cost of the new tariffs will be borne by countries such as China, Chinese suppliers say it's American consumers who will mainly pay the difference in the form of higher prices.
In a factory that makes baseball caps, Trump’s tariffs bring chaos and likely price hikes
“It’s a mess,” a baseball cap supplier in Guangzhou said of Trump's tariffs, which are now at least 54% on imports from China. “It’s a challenge to all of us.”

Trump’s Trade War Risks Forfeiting America’s Economic Primacy

Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.

We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Remember when they kept telling us that this administration is only concerned about “illegal immigrants?”

Remember how mocked we were for calling it out for the lie that it is?

This is not only unjust, it is cruel and barbaric.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.
