Found these old grievances online. Sound familiar?

He cuts off our trade with all parts of the world:
He imposes taxes on us without our consent:
He deprives us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
He transports us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses…

I hope Wall Street has figured out two things:

1. Trump is a disaster for the U.S. economy.
2. There is no price at which many of us would ever buy a Tesla. I wouldn't take it for free with a $5,000 rebate.

I think they have an inkling of the first but are still in denial about the second.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are also being subject to tariffs. These are uninhabited islands in the southern part of the Indian Ocean, where no human has been for ten years. The islands are mainly inhabited by penguins.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?

President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…

The book is called “The Jungle.”

Trump is a terrible gambler - he bankrupted two casinos. Now he’s gambling with the world economy and your financial future. It’s going to be worse than you think.

Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:

-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot

That's a genuinely good start.
