Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping.
Donald Trump is golfing.
After bullying & expelling international war hero Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the White House, Trump returns to Mar-a-Lago, where he’ll play some golf & wine/dine with fellow rapist and child sex trafficker, Andrew Tate.
Motherfucker can rot in hell.
Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.
And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.
So much for "drain the swamp."
Here’s the thing. Every last one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before the election. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it because they thought he’d only be cruel to the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty is that it doesn’t stop where you want it to—it spreads, and eventually, it comes for you too.
Here's what the press refuse to say.
1. Trump backed down from fights with Canada and Mexico when they fought back.
2. Trump got nothing for it.
3. The stock market crashed.
4. Trump announces gains from Mexico+ Canada that were already there or happened under Biden.
This is legitimately the most pointless trade war in history.
Economics 101 for the MAGA crowd who doesn’t seem to get it.
We are a net importer. That means we BUY more shit than we sell.
Import tariffs mean that US COMPANIES PAY MORE TO BUY GOODS. The money goes to US customs.
When US companies pay more to buy goods, they sell them to US consumers (that’s you, reading this post) for more money in order to maintain their profit margins.
Guess which countries we buy the most shit from?
Canada, Mexico, and China — the countries he just tariffed for absolutely no reason.
Congrats to our new DNC chair, Ken Martin. Ken has done outstanding work in Minnesota, and will bring that same energy and drive to this new role. Together, we need to build a bold, responsive Democratic Party that can tell a compelling story about who we’re fighting for and where we need to go as a country. I am grateful to all who are stepping up to engage. Lots of work ahead!
