Trump reaches a “deal” to pause the tariffs he imposed on China. I guess all those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming here now, the tariffs won’t replace income taxes, and all the other amazing things they were supposed to do for us are over. So much for Liberation Day.

Comer is a flaming idiot and she should have pushed back harder.
oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

Can someone please ask this idiot what "rare earth" is? It seems to be his phrase of the moment and I'm betting he can't explain what it refers to.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Rudy Giuliani was found in contempt of court twice this past week & he still walks free. Frankly, I'm sick of this 2 tiered system where petty criminals get the book thrown at them while the rich & connected get break after break. Throw is ass in jail already & take his assets.

Keep an eye on this obsession with Greenland... there's a long list of Trump contributors (led my Elon Musk) who are ready to jump in and grab government contracts or rights purchases to mine precious natural resources needed for batteries and chips.
