We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

I could care less about how much the S&P or the Dow surge today. Over the last 5 days (since the newest tariffs were introduced), everything is still down.

A net loss is still a net loss. And this arbitrary volatility is bad for business and investors.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.

This is the first explanation of the new tariffs that has made sense to me. I encourage everyone to read the entire thread.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

As an instructor in higher ed for more than 30 years (good grief I'm getting old!) I could not agree more with this sentiment. I want my students to reach their own conclusions. I provide them with the tools to do so, and the opportunity to practice with those tools.
