Via Pat Dennis:

what i've seen so far will be a disaster for our economy. Prices are going to spike on things the middle class buys, like clothes.

Middle class spends a higher percentage of income on physical goods. Rich people spend on things like gardeners and masseuses. No #tariffs for them […]

I tried to watch the tariff announcment in the so-called Rose Garden (because it's hardly a "garden" any more, post-Melania), but simply couldn't tolerate the sound of the guy's voice.

Anyone else have the same visceral response to sounds emitted by the OrangeGropenFührer?

Another important moment in Congress yesterday.

With their futile attempt to block new parents from voting remotely, Republican leaders once again proved they're not actually pro-family.

Not on this. Not on IVF. Not on lowering costs for middle-class families.

Not on anything.
Johnson Fails to Kill Bipartisan Measure to Allow Proxy Voting for New Parents
The speaker tried to use an unprecedented parliamentary maneuver to deny a bipartisan majority the chance to hold a vote on their proposal to allow new parents to vote remotely in the House.

Within minutes of showing up at the IRS, a twenty-something software engineer dispatched from DOGE began demanding access to the tax collection agency’s most protected internal databases — including the one containing the personal and financial data for millions of American taxpayers.

And don't get me wrong here for calling for leadership to be ejected. This was the last straw, not a knee jerk.

Schumer has rolled over to Republicans for YEARS. McConnell would simply stand up, stare off into space for 35 minutes, and mutter out filibuster and Chuck would be like "Welp we lost." 🤷🏼‍♂️

Schumer enabled GOP power plays, failed to protect democracy, and abandoned the people when it mattered most. He’s lost the fight—and our trust. It’s time for new leadership.

Why do you think Trump is the ONLY president who refused to place his hands on the bible when he was sworn in? That was no accident. The bastard knew he wasn't going to defend the constitution and was about to lie about it
