This will do nothing to stop the calamitous sell-off in stocks, bonds and the U.S. dollar. That's the crisis that should be front and center for Trump.

The fact that in America, anyone could be President, was something we all were proud of, now not so much.

We still don’t. It’s deranged tyrant shit, and that’s the problem in a nutshell. A legitimate policy would never be this stupid or harmful, and we don’t have dictators in America. So the authority needs to be removed, along, ideally, with the tyrant himself. www.offmessage.net/p/we-dont-ha...

More evidence the real goal of the tariffs is to shift more of the tax burden to consumers.

Trump’s post was 7 minutes after the NYSE opened—before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the 90-day pause on tariffs. The sequence and timing directly support insider trading and market manipulation. By informing people to buy before the policy was publicly disclosed, Trump broke the law.

Hope you and Scott talk about the very real prospect of market manipulation by the Trump family and admin. The same guy that said “it’s a great time to buy” made the one decision he knew would make the markets shoot up.

An image of Trump’s Truth Social post. “Now is a good time to buy.” Rule 10b-5 prohibits the use of material nonpublic information for personal or third-party financial gain. Trump’s post, when combined with the market-moving announcement and Greer’s testimony, fits the legal definition of market manipulation and insider trading.

Journalists and others are being denied access to Mahmoud Khalil's remote immigration hearing -- a major national news story. People are still trying to find out what's going on but this seems pretty damn unconstitutional. We don't have secret courts in this country.

He's just making it up as he goes
Trump: "Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Sen. John Kennedy on Morning Joe: "With tariffs, an eye for an eye just leaves both people blind. When a govt imposes a tariff, it's putting its thumb on the scale. It interferes with people's freedom to exchange goods and services."

me this morning www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...
There is a hypothetical president with a hypothetically similar agenda who could answer these questions. This actual president cannot. He did not reason himself into his preoccupation with tariffs and can neither reason nor speak coherently about them. There is no grand plan or strategic vision, no matter what his advisers claim — only the impulsive actions of a mad king, untethered from any responsibility to the nation or its people. For as much as the president’s apologists would like us to believe otherwise, Trump’s tariffs are not a policy as we traditionally understand it. What they are is an instantiation of his psyche: a concrete expression of his zero-sum worldview.

The fundamental truth of Donald Trump is that he apparently cannot conceive of any relationship between individuals, peoples or states as anything other than a status game, a competition for dominance. His long history of scams, hostile litigation — not to mention his frequent refusal to pay contractors, lawyers, brokers and other people who were working for him — is evidence enough of the reality that a deal with Trump is less an agreement between equals than an opportunity for Trump to abuse and exploit the other party for his own benefit. For Trump, there is no such thing as a mutually beneficial relationship or a positive-sum outcome. In every interaction, no matter how trivial or insignificant, someone has to win and someone has to lose. And Trump, as we all know, is a winner.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

"One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, I'm not a gang member. I'm gay. I'm a barber.' I believed him. *** He "began to whimper," as his head was roughly shaved, "folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell." He
"asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again."Photo of Andry featured on MSNBC. Chyron reads:
