I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

@markhertling.bsky.social Since the Trump administration has already cut off future funding for Ukraine, could Zelenskyy choose to negotiate through European allies rather than whatever the US is doing in Saudi Arabia?

Noting that prices will spike w/ tariffs is another liberal reassurance narrative. Not that they won’t; rather, they will, *& that’s the goal.* Tariffs will be Trump’s “war,” suffering for which will be “patriotic.” Pay close attention to how much Trumpers are talking fentanyl & invasion.

New: Recordings from private autism conferences show Trump HHS pick Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vilifying & conspiracy theorizing about agencies he's set to lead. Videos show RFK Jr comparing CDC vaccine programs to "Nazi death camps" & calling for researchers to be jailed. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
RFK Jr. attacked the CDC’s ‘fascism’ and likened vaccinating children to abuse by the Catholic Church
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, also argued for jailing vaccine scientists in previously unreported comments at autism conferences.

Trump's scam is designed to create the illusion that his fearsome threats are needed to get Mexico to act. Bank on this: Once he's in office, he will credit his threat of tariffs for getting Mexico's cooperation, even though it's already happening. 5/5

I think the future of the Democratic Party is mostly going to be running on the issues Trump and the GOP mess up over the next year and change. That’s the position you put yourself in when you lose the presidency and both chambers. Pretty hard to set the agenda in those circumstances.

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).
