Slapping tariffs on Canadian potash and immediately thereafter lifting sanctions on potash from Belarus. More lazy writing. It's so transparent.

my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU!

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.
I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

When Canada did this, it was brilliant. It was for this reason that I spoke with my financial advisor about moving into foreign assets. They were worthless, but I still think it would make sense to have some accounts outside the US to hedge my risk. It's a matter of when, not if the economy tanks.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Let's talk about Article V, a🧵. What’s that? It’s the bit in the Constitution that allows amendment. There are two ways the Constitution can be amended. One is the process you're familiar with: Congress passes an amendment and the states ratify it. Read it here: www.law.cornell.edu/constitution....

Also see Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Crime will also increase from people desperately trying to meet their needs, feed their kids, etc. Auto defaults already have risen. Prepare for rough times.
With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
