Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

WATCH — @milestaylor.bsky.social : “The average 🇺🇸 family saved $1,600 a year from tax cuts, but spent $4,000 a year on Trump’s price increases — now he's realizing what conservative economists have known for centuries: Tariffs are taxes. And he's having to walk it back.”

A massive regressive national sales tax imposed upon every American by a president with no constitutional authority to impose a national sales tax. The reason why the founders gave this power to Congress is because this would never pass any Congress- even this one.

Trump:  "The intelligence was very inconclusive. The intelligence says we don't know. It could have been very severe. That's what the intelligence says. So I guess that's correct. But I think we can take the we don't know. It was very severe. It was obliteration."

Concord, NH had a huge, 4-hour, raucous, multi-generational, multi-cultural, musical gathering of 3000+ people opposing this fascist creep. And this was just 1 of 30+ protests in one of the smallest states in our Republic.

It inspires hope and courage.

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments.

It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.
