Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

The world's worst humanitarian crisis today is in Sudan, facing famine and atrocities that the US has already concluded are genocide. Sudanese refugees crossing the border told me what's happening--and meanwhile, the US is aggravating the crisis. https://t.co/LRIMBnvMud

BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts statement:

"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

This would seem to run afoul of the First Amendment in several important ways.

The new leaders of the free world reach out to the U.S. with a proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine.

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country.
The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives.

Time to resurface this tweet by @marcorubio, now @SecRubio. He was right. Humanitarian aid is life-saving, but it's also an investment in national security. It reflects our values AND our interests.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

I'm hearing from experts around the world about what the destruction of USAID is meaning: "a global health massacre," in the words of a doctor who has devoted her life to humanitarian work on the front lines. Millions of malnourished children left to starve. Pregnant women not getting micronutrients to prevent neural tube defects. Programs against schistosomiasis abandoned. HIV positive patients left without ARV's. Water no longer purified. Surveillance against Ebola and bird flu set back. TB patients unable to get medicine. I've long argued that USAID should be reformed, but this Trump/Musk demolition is cruel and incompetent and benefits China, while killing children just as wonderful as our own.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

I never thought I’d see the day the United States sided with the world’s leading dictators in Russia, Belarus, and North Korea against the free world.

Donald Trump has brought shame, not greatness to the United States.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend. History will not be kind to those who are helping him, especially those who call themselves Reagan Republicans while they pretend not to see what’s happening.

I never thought I would see the leader of the American nation siding with the Kremlin in a war of aggression.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

It boggles the mind that Trump can complain about censorship and then block the @ap from access to the Oval Office unless the journalists use language he prefers. But AP reporters have stood up to dictators worldwide, even endured prison; they're tougher than Trump.

Four government IT employees tell @ibogost and Charlie Warzel that Elon Musk's incursion into the U.S. government may be worse than anyone realizes: “This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history." https://t.co/IephjYFRYW

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise.

He who claims immunity for law-breaking on the grounds that he is saving his country is a megalomaniacal would-be dictator.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.
