You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

"However, there is a principle at work here called “No backsies.” Once you’ve said you might negotiate the tariffs, nobody is going to believe you when you change your mind and say you’ll never negotiate." NOBODY trusts him, NOBODY believes him, NOBODY (should) believe in him.

Trump Has Already Botched His Own Bad Tariff Plan

“It’s proper to blame President Trump…But Trump’s our president. If Americans in both parties don’t do their utmost to check and overturn his actions, we will all have been part of the betrayal of Ukraine. We will all have been part of a betrayal of America.” www.thebulwark.com/p/four-dimen...

This Isn’t Four-Dimensional Chess. Trump’s Helping Russia.

President Trump’s recent moves with respect to Ukraine may seem bewildering. But they’re not. He’s partial to the country’s invader.

Our farmers will lose billions in USAID cuts. His tariffs will not make up the shortfall, because most of the produce coming in does not compete with local produce. People aren't going to buy more Idaho potatoes because Mexican bananas cost more. + labor shortages. The fuckening continues.

“March 14 is approaching, when the federal government will run out of money”…. “The limitations of Trump’s attempts to rule by decree, and the inability of his party to govern, may then become unavoidably apparent.”

Donald Trump's face color today registers as color hex #a98158, aptly named Dusty Amber. Definition: Dusty Amber is a muted and earthy shade of orange, reminiscent of sunbaked clay and dried leaves...

My children gave me tickets to see Parade as a gift. We went last night to Playhouse Square in Cleveland. The performance was amazing, timely, and depressing all at the same time. I just kept thinking that something like this can easily happen now in certain parts of the country.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Remember when President Biden was inaugurated? It was a time of hope and optimism, and not just for those who voted for him. Look at all of the people who are genuinely scared with Trump's inauguration. Minorities, women, the marginalized, the undocumented. This is truly a scary time.
