Please understand Trump's tariffs are 100% about paying for his proposed tax cut for the rich. When prices jump 20% bc of the tariffs you and I will be the ones paying the TRUMP TAX so that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and other oligarchs can get a massive tax cut for themselves and their businesses.

Corporate media refuses to note this but under Biden the Dow Jones closed just a few months ago over 45,000. Under Trump the Dow is now down to 43,100. The NASDAQ was 20,100. Today it's at 18,300. Trump's chaos and his new tariffs are causing investors to flee. And market heading lower today.

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.
Post by John Nichols:

Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020.

Trump 2016: 46.1%

Trump 2020: 46.8%

Harris 2024: 48.4%

Trump didn’t win a “landslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Pam Bondi, Trump's new AG pick, might be one of the most corrupt people in the country. When Trump's charity donated to her as FL AG, she stopped investigating Trump University. He did it. He found someone as bad as Matt Gaetz.

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t. Insane.
Media Matters post about Project 2025 architect Russ Vought returning to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Vought is a leading proponent of using Schedule F to fire thousands of federal workers and replace them with MAGA loyalists.

Talk about self-owns! This is rather amazing news on the abortion rights front.
Post by Taniel:

A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans.

Get this: Judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired.
