Trump is re-escalating his trade war with China with new port fees and a 100% tariff on rare earth minerals.

Reminder that "other countries" won't pay for the tariffs — you will. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?si=k8gcK2rt8DsexKPa

Really bad news for America. Sealing a pressure cooker leads to explosions. #SCOTUS might spark a civil war if they rule as REPUBLICANS, RATHER THAN AS LAW ABIDING JUDGES.

This stupid f*ck. These are the emergent leaders of the Republican Party. Every fucken Republican should be condemning them and the group should be disbanded. They are all the same. Every one of them.

Something else that has never happened before in American history, as the Trump admin continues to piss on the Bill of Rights while Republicans in Congress continue to remain silent. Another thing to protest on Saturday.

Politico received an initial tip that a Taylor staffer had a swastika neatly pinned to his cubicle during a zoom call. When confronted, the congressman’s press office pretty implausibly sought to present the situation as a police matter, and Politico went along with that in its headline and lede.
