NEW -- Dozens of communities have been devastated by windstorms, tornadoes, flooding and wildfires since Jan. 20, killing nearly 100 Americans.

Donald Trump has not visited a single one.

He has, however, managed 40 days of golf.

Sure it’s nice he says this but tomorrow he could absolutely spend three hours asking softball questions to someone who says Ben Franklin was a communist and that due process just mans executive sign off
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”

He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Pete Hegseth, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Dan Crenshaw, Elise Stefanik and other GOP figures have degrees from Harvard. Add business, and boosters like Jamie Dimon do too.

Not only is "biased against conservatives" BS, it's self-aggrandizing "I overcame adversity" BS too.

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why?

A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock.

Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

When I was in my 20s, an economist asked if I was disappointed that the most important econ story of my life had already happened so early in my career. Wouldn't everything from here on out seem boring? He was talking about the 2008 financial crisis.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Trump is basically pressing all the “do not touch” buttons simultaneously: mass layoffs, increasing prices, undermining consumer and international confidence. Not sure what else he could be doing to trigger a recession, let alone longer term US decline
March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE

This was before the tariffs

It's just...unbelievable

Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment.

I’ll take safety over any supposed streamlining please. Wtf is wrong with these morons.
Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.

This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety.

Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people.

We need more regulation, not less. Hello?
