There is No Plan. They're Just Morons.
Trump doesn't have complex trade theories. He's just an idiot.

Could I please ask the press to stop reporting Trump’s rather arbitrary numbers of the tariffs other countries impose as though this were real? The WTO has a tariff database. You can look up the real numbers there.

Remember last time Trump was president and unmarked vans swept up people off the street and he tried to get the military to use force against protesters? If you think the administration's vindictive defiance will stop with immigrants, you're naive. Gift link: wapo.st/43Ssl2Q

Opinion | They’re coming for immigrants first
And the Trump administration is signaling that no one else might be safe, either.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

The scene at the White House was a mafioso-style shakedown with petulant undertones. It was a trap meant to mask the reality that America’s ambition is not to be “Leader of the Free World” but rather “Leader of the Authoritarian World” #ukraine #Zelensky #whitehouse #byebyeamerica
