Incredible harm for such petty reasons. "The desire to stick it to liberals is so intense that Republicans are evidently willing to inflict disproportionate economic pain on their own voters."

The federal budget is our money– not my money that was stolen from me and your money that was stolen from you, but OUR money, pooled from a bit of each of our incomes, so that we can fund the country we all share. Where do you want your money to go? www.patheos.com/blogs/steelm...

Understand this: Republicans in Congress want to rip health care away from babies, new mamas, and seniors in nursing homes to help billionaires buy more yachts. That’s the “big, beautiful bill” they’re trying to pass.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Step 1. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country Step 2. When markets crash, pause those tariffs and say they're just leverage for deals Step 3. Promise deals Step 4. Fail to make deals Step 5. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country ...and yes, I find it hard to keep my cool, sometimes.

Before the doomers nuh-uh me on this, polls are clear. Outside of the Trump cultists, pretty much everyone thinks tariffs are bad. The fake "pause" garnered good headlines, but Trump sweating Walmart shows he knows the 30% tariff is still gonna cause inflation. abcnews.go.com/Politics/thi...

Nearly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump tariffs, with inflation a broad concern: POLL
Seven in 10 Americans think Donald Trump’s tariffs on international trade will drive up U.S. inflation, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.
