It feels like the only people concerned about birth rates are men. Hmmm.

It feels like the only people concerned about birth rates are men. Hmmm.
So true.
Yep, it's rough watching everyone from late night hosts to lightweight tech YouTubers explain the still dangerous effects & likely intents of this erratic policy both more honestly & accessibly than news outlets. Since Colbert explains how 125% tariffs on China are a systematic risk, CNN should too.
Absolutely excruciating to see the BBC, CNN and everyone else dressing up Trump's industrial-scale stock market fraud as "relief", "making nice" or a "climb down". Wittingly or unwittingly, our media are once again accomplices.

When hundreds of thousands of people coordinate across an entire nation to protest governmental policies, that’s not a page 18 story. That’s not a “see more in section B” situation. That’s front-page news. Period.
Print Media to Mass Protests: “Please Turn to Page 18”
Here’s how newspapers across America minimized one of the largest demonstrations since Trump’s return to power.

This is the truth. Republicans could put an immediate end to this insanity. They own this.
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

Fox was created to get Republicans elected, not to inform their viewers.
Brian Kilmeade blamed USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement) for unfair trade practices. Donald J. Trump proudly replaced NAFTA with USMCA in Oct. 2018. The agreement went into effect in July 2020. I provide receipts. USMCA is Trump's trade deal.

Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.
