Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech.

Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from:

- Being able to afford groceries
- Much of their retirement savings
- Any hope of buying a home

As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

how to predict when conservatives will respect science or not
the rule for this is: when “science” helps them claim that “reality” is static, it is true. when “science” threatens them by showing that reality is dynamic, it is false.

It is impossible to capture how catastrophic Trump’s recent moves and statements are for US defense contractors—this will have a huge trickle-down industrial effect given supply chains and subcontractors.
I mean... holy shit.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?

JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here

TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.
