Americans aren't just going to pay more for things from Canada and Mexico because Donald Trump is an idiot.
They are also going to pay more for goods from the United States, as American producers use the expectation of higher prices to gouge.

Finding "common ground" with fascism is promoting fascism. Fascism needs to be vociferously rejected in totality.

Indeed. Pathetic.
I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

To those that consistently discourage protesting because "Trump may invoke the insurrection act", he's going to do it anyway, regardless of what you do or don't do. Stop playing yourselves and more importantly playing others by blatantly discouraging any real opposition to the Trump regime.

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

It's always been because they have a rich Daddy, which is also how their own father "qualified" for all of his first jobs.
