The president is posting before 7 am, but not directly mentioning the cratering stock market. A lot of investors/traders are going to read this as deliberate indifference; he is just fine with wiping out retirement accounts. I've reached out to Treasury and WH and heard nothing so far this morning.
Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place. This is despite the fact that the biggest abuser of them all, China, whose markets are crashing, just raised its Tariffs by 34%, on top of its long term ridiculously high Tariffs (Plus!), not acknowledging my warning for abusing countries not to retaliate. They’ve made enough, for decades, taking advantage of the Good OL’ USA! Our past “leaders” are to blame for allowing this, and so much else, to happen to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

We expected hundreds of thousands of people yesterday. Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab. Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

Ozturk was arrested by six masked officers — like the Gestapo. Her only offense appears to be writing an op-ed in her school newspaper. While I strongly disagree with the views expressed in her op-ed, they are not a valid basis for deportation. This is flat out un-American.

March 27, 2025 - The President's recent attacks on lawyers and law firms for daring to have represented the President's personal enemies or causes that he and his supporters dislike are dangerous threats to the rule of law and our democracy. In this extraordinary moment in U.S. history, lawyers and the courts are essential to safeguarding individual rights and preventing complete authoritarian control of our government. We are proud to represent clients who are suing the government for unlawfully disclosing the highly sensitive, personal information of tens of millions of Americans, and we stand unequivocally with other principled lawyers who are living up to their obligations to defend the rule of law.

"Our firm has a longstanding tradition of representing a wide range of clients, including in matters against administrations of both parties," the spokesperson said in a statement. "The Executive Order references Robert Mueller, who retired from our firm in 2021, and had a long, distinguished career in public service, from his time as a Marine Corps officer in Vietnam to his leadership of the FBI in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

"We remain committed to providing the expert representation that our clients are entitled to and rely upon,” the spokesperson added.
