Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.
After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"
Columbia hits back at Trump by moving to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products
The U.S. is Colombia's largest trade and investment partner, per the State Department.

It was a Nazi salute. The Hamburglar wore it better. He is a criminal – and it was never about the price of fucking eggs. I will not normalize any of it. Or any of you. Not with poisonous politeness meant to soften the sharp edges of this horror show. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
On a day to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream, the Trump nightmare returns | Helen Ubiñas
Where King's vision was rooted in the American dream, in liberty and justice for all, Trump’s is fueled by pettiness, vengeance, division, and flagrant inequality of justice in action.

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all.

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

They keep telling us to not be worried. That just makes me more worried. I just have a disconcerted feeling of anxiety that we’re not going to a good place & no one else seems to notice. Like I’m watching us all walk into the scary house with the chainsaw out front & I’m the only one who can see it.
