Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?
I'm writing to the White House — the public has a right to know.

Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs.
These constant gyrations in policy provide dangerous opportunities for insider trading. 🧵

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.
And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.
It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.
Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

On what should have been the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I remain deeply disappointed that the Supreme Court turned the clocks back and criminalized health care for women. Women have and will continue to die because of abortion restrictions – it’s a terrifying reality.
