Here's a breakdown of how Trump's tariff threats have played out
TACO Tracking: Trump Carries Out Just One in Four Tariff Threats
In less than three weeks, President Donald Trump has issued four sweeping tariff threats that, in normal times, would rattle investors, unnerve CEOs and send economists rushing to revise their growth forecasts for the targeted countries.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

So, these armed felons from January 6, 2021 are “just tourists!”

But an ICU nurse defending a woman who ICE pepper-sprayed and pushed to the ground was a “domestic terrorist “!

Quick question, is anyone else worried that we’re living under a Nazi government?

The regime shot Renee Nicole Good and then labeled her a domestic terrorist.

But they didn’t do it because they’re strong — they did it because they’re weak and scared.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

The EPA will no longer calculate the monetary value of saving human lives, among other health impacts, when setting new clean air rules. It quietly debuted this new approach in a version of a new final rule for power plant emissions published online last week.

EPA Will No Longer Consider Value of Human Health Benefits in Setting Air Pollution Rules
The agency is abandoning a longstanding policy to calculate the monetary savings in avoided deaths and disease from cutting certain pollutants.

This is America
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

It's worth noting that the single most impactful female vote came from non-college educated white women, who overwhelmingly supported Trump in 2024. Black women & others warned us after 2016, and no one listened to them. cawp.rutgers.edu/blog/gender-...

Donald Trump is an existential threat to our country, and we cannot let him go unchecked.

I’ve faced him head on, and I’ve beaten him. When Democrats take back the House, I’ll be ready to do it again.

ICE needs to be defunded. There will be a special place in hell for ice agents.

Agree.
Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

This sounds awful and we need details from the Administration ASAP.

In the meantime, I agree with @smith.senate.gov - ICE should immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to deescalate.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
