You vs the program the recruit tells you not to worry about.

Government efficiency

[Lauren @cabsav456]

A $620M loan from the Pentagon for a single startup is insane. This is one of several companies getting federal loans or huge contracts where Trump Jr. is a major investor. That's OUR money.

On top of that, the Commerce Dept (under Howard freaking Lutnick) is taking a $50M equity stake in the same company. Again, that's OUR money.

We are not the CCP. The U.S. government should not be an "owner" of private business. But again, this is one of many companies the U.S. government now holds equity in (e.g. Intel).

It shouldn't be legal for taxpayer dollars to fuel handouts for family members.

Obviously, we need to change the laws to prevent anything like this from happening ever again. But the fact that Congress is allowing this is sickening.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

He’s at war in Iran without congressional authorization. He overthrew Venezuela by force. He threatened to invade a NATO ally. Now he wants to take Cuba and thinks he can do “anything he wants” with it.

Where the hell are my Republican colleagues? They took the same oath I did.

Every single one of them who stays silent owns this.

A Congress that won’t stop a president who answers to no one isn’t a co-equal branch. It’s an accomplice.

US receives: military access to Greenland, which it already had

US loses: influence over its closest, richest and most powerful allies

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

These are the people who spent the last two decades hyperventilating about the left’s War on Christmas.

Can he be fucking normal about anything?

@dawsonpowers Do you have the 4K (or higher) res of this photo? Would make a great desktop background

[Patterico @Patterico]

Without hyperbole, this is the single most ominous statement Donald Trump has uttered this year.

[Brett Meiselas @BMeiselas]

call me a woke lib but I don’t think our elected officials should be tweeting thank you messages to the kremlin

[j aubrey 🤠 @jaubreyYT]

Always good when the president of the United States is saying things like “we took the freedom of speech away”

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

The country is basically being run by toddlers right now.

[Roger Sollenberger @SollenbergerRC]

Trump appears to be releasing Amelia Earhart records for no reas… oh of course

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Trump is bailing out a foreign country while saying we don’t have enough money for child cancer research.

[Peter Wolf @peterawolf]

“We will opt for lethal violence over lawful conduct” should be grounds for impeaching a Secretary of Defense.

[Edward-Isaac Dovere @IsaacDovere]

Through the campaign last year, an argument was that Democrats were overly focused on words and labeling things

[Jared Ryan Sears @JaredRyanSears]

Things Republicans believed in before Trump:

-States' Rights
-The Constitution
-The Justice System
-Law and Order
-Freedom of Speech
-Rights
-Capitalism
-Limited Government
-Reducing the Debt
-Russia is America's enemy
-Allies should be defended

Not anymore.

"You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.” - Pres. Reagan

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

Coupled with the attack on BLS, this is rapidly advancing deeper into the territory of insisting that all data that doesn't conform to Trump preferences is inherently invalid & that only the leader can tell you the truth. A hallmark of authoritarians across world & thru history
