Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.

Trump discloses 327 unreported stock trades made a day before his first tariff pause
Their disclosure, more than 14 months after they occurred, is the latest revelation to fuel calls for greater scrutiny of the president’s financial assets.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Don't print lies in the newspaper.
Never in the past century has America gone forth to seize other countries' land and subjugate its citizens against their will. Since the days of World War I, America was the country that resisted conquest, standing up to Hitler's Germany, Tojo's Japan, Stalin's Soviet Union, Kim Il-sung's North Korea and Saddam Hussein's Iraq when they seized foreign terrain. Now Mr. Trump aspires to put America into the category of conquerors.

In the UK at least since the run up to Brexit, in the US maybe longer, we've just been watching the Right become progressively more and more openly wacky authoritarians and yet receive the same "maybe the left need to listen to their reasonable concerns!?" treatment from a certain kinda centrist.
