Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off.
Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this.
Miami deserves better.
Last month it was the Young Republicans praising Hitler. Last week it was Fuentes & Carlson criticizing "Jewry". This week, they're saying swastikas and nooses aren't hate speech. The rot is party-wide. https://t.co/3TXIF2SqO2
2024: President Biden averaged GAINING 286,000 jobs per month.
2025: Trump just LOST 45,000 jobs in October.
Inflation has gone UP 5 straight months.
The Trump economy is a disaster, which is why the WH refuses to release numbers, but Goldman Sachs will.
The devil is always in the CORRUPT details.
Not only has the DOJ shut down investigations of the J6 attacks and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, but also the Senate bill would allow members of Trump's inner circle to collect millions of taxpayer dollars because they were investigated for participating.
The big U.S. news today should be stated as: “Republican anti-abortion pastor murdered Democratic legislator”.
But “New Minnesota warning issued after shootings of politicians” (WSJ);
“Violent action tied to politics is new reality” (NYT). ./1
If Joe Biden threatened to send the DOJ after any news outlet that wrote a negative piece about Hunter Biden there would have been a Chernobyl-level meltdown in the press, but since it's Trump, this won't even be a story.
it’s amazing watching the gulf states have a competition to see who can come up with the highest made-up number. Saudis said $600B, Qataris $1.2T, now the Emiratis say $1.4T.
All numbers that are way bigger than the countries’ entire economy or sovereign wealth funds
Michael Lind appears to be so out to lunch on what the President's actual tariff policies are that he writes pharmaceuticals and metals are exempted from the 10% global tariff without realizing it's because he has introduced or plans to introduce *25% tariffs* on them.
The Japanese trade delegation came to meet in good faith with Trump’s economic team and after a while, they realized that Trump’s team didn’t know what they wanted and lacked any authority to reach a deal. So they just left.
That’s where we are in our tariff negotiations. 🫠
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the “death camps” & “torture”, now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!🍹
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
We calculated that post Trump “put” today, the tariff mix is actually worse —China exports more consumer goods to US than other countries, so boosting that (to 125%) relative to others will boost the hit to consumption goods.
I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday.
Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.
