🚨Tariffs: 🚨
trump can EXEMPT from tariffs anyone he wants

Read that again

He controls who is charged & who is exempt

1️⃣He will SELL exemptions

2️⃣He will WITHHOLD exemptions

He is a MOB BOSS collecting his PIZZO

The absolute power here is insane!!

I’m here in Washington ready to work with anyone to end this shutdown and make sure your health care premiums don’t double or even triple. But where are House Republicans? Taking another week off work. It’s time for them to come help us fix this.

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Before that announcement even hit the airwaves, an anonymous crypto wallet suddenly transferred over $1 billion into stablecoins — digital dollars that hold value even when everything else collapses. Then, within seconds of Trump’s post, that same wallet started placing $100 million buy orders across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and multiple altcoins just as the market imploded.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

HOLD THE LINE, universities!!

The partnership between the federal government and universities is one of the things that actually makes America great. U.S. higher ed is world-renowned!

But excellent universities require academic freedom.

HANDS OFF our scholars!!

Assuming the hostages are actually released and Israel does pull out of Gaza, perhaps another positive outcome will be that people will get it through their heads that MOST OF US JEWS ACTUALLY CAN’T STAND NETANYAHU.

What’s happening right now should terrify every American. We’re sliding toward empty shelves, broken systems, and a government run by chaos. This week on @meidastouch.com, I break down how close we really are and what we can do to stop it.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Update on Missouri Democrats’ efforts to stop redistricting in that state.

@peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social continues to lead the charge on gathering enough signatures for a referendum vote by December 11th, but they need more support.

www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

I really wish the felon and his drunk SoW would stop poking at the country that is the reason for the Geneva Convention, and taught the whole world the term "war crimes".

Bc they were "mean" to the Nazis.

If I knew nothing else about f47, this alone would tell me he is dumb af.
