Last night on @msnbc.com, I talked about why I’m running for the U.S. Senate—because North Carolina needs a real fighter. Thom Tillis may talk tough on Trump’s tariffs, but all he has are empty words. When it counts, he always caves.

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines.
I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians.

I am absolutely not a fan of this man, that said, he’s completely correct and the messaging here is 💯
Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Never in the history of wanting to be somewhere else, has anyone wanted to be somewhere else more than the guy behind Trump’s right shoulder.
Trump: "One thing I learned about the coal miners -- that's what they want to do. You could give them a penthouse on 5th Avenue and a different kind of a job and they'd be unhappy. They want to mine coal. She was gonna put them in a high tech industry where you make little cell phones and things."

The phenomenon of stock market crashing *and* bond yield shooting up as people rush to sell bonds is a feature of nastier, more reckless countries; like Italy and Brazil and Turkey. Never America. Until now.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat
NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
