When it comes to Trump’s harmful tariff war, White House officials are not playing chess, and not even checkers, they are playing Magic 8 Ball.
1. Start disastrous tariff war
2. Say oops, the tariffs are “unsustainable”
3. Now ask countries, will you please, please do a deal?
The first thing they make you do before going into a classified meeting is to remove your phone. Why? Because phones can be hacked. (Eg look up Pegasus spyware).
Hegseth using his personal phone multiple times to reveal combat operations is a dereliction of duty. He must resign.
This just gets worse. Hegseth needs to go now. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
Trump promised a golden age. Instead we are in a #GrotesqueAge:
-The Trump Administration is assaulting due process
-Violent criminals receiving pardons
-American companies like Mack Trucks laying off workers due to Trump’s tariffs.
Make your voices heard on April 19.
Trump promised a golden age. Instead we are in a #GrotesqueAge:
-People mistakenly being deported or being asked to self-deport
-Violent criminals receiving pardons
-And Powell stating that we will have “higher inflation and slower growth.”

Russia’s horrific attack on civilians in Ukraine celebrating Palm Sunday was a war crime and a giant middle finger to President Trump, who has been pleading with Putin for a ceasefire.
The best way to get Putin to the negotiating table is to help Ukraine defeat Russia on the battlefield.
Trump promised a Golden Age. Instead we’ve entered a #TrumpSlump:
-Consumer sentiment dropping precipitously
-Inflation expectations increasing
-Mortgage rates surging
All because of the whims of one man.

Trump promised a Golden Age. Instead we’ve entered a #GrotesqueAge:
-People being targeted based on their speech
-Violent criminals being pardoned
-Prices on goods increasing, consumer sentiment decreasing and the markets tanking because of the whims of one man
Artificial intelligence has disrupted and will continue to disrupt—hopefully for the better—numerous aspects of society.
A1 is a steak sauce.
The Secretary of Education needs to understand the difference.
Trump promised a Golden Age. Instead we’ve entered a #GrotesqueAge:
-People snatched off the streets without due process
-Violent criminals being pardoned
-Prices increasing, consumer sentiment decreasing and the Dow tanking because of the whims of one man
Trump promised a golden age. Instead, we have the #Trumpslump:
-Prices increased
-Consumer sentiment decreased
-The Dow Jones tanked
@ABC: After the Dow closed down more than 300 points on Monday, ABC News' Alexis Christoforous reports on the roller coaster ride on Wall Street.

Approximately 162 million Americans are invested in the stock market.
#Mondaymorning stats
Trump promised a golden age. He lied. His harmful and stupid policies economic policies—enabled by House Republicans—have caused the #TrumpSlump:
-Prices increased
-Consumer sentiment decreased
-The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq tanked
#stockmarketcrash
Wall Street crashes at close, Dow sinks 2,200 pts — U.S. markets closed sharply lower as investor fears of global recession mount after Trump's tariffs.

I call on House Republicans to put legislation to stop Trump’s indiscriminate tariffs up for a vote. If they don’t, then Republicans own all the disastrous consequences:
-higher inflation
-tanking markets
-slower growth
The #TrumpTariffs are a massive tax on Americans.
I agree with GOP Senator Rand Paul: tariffs are taxes paid by the American consumer.

The indiscriminate #TrumpTariffs are batshit crazy. The tariffs will further tank the markets, increase prices on everyday goods and drive up inflation. Exactly what America does not need.
The American people want lower prices, not chaos and increasing prices.
National Security Adviser Waltz should resign for repeatedly playing fast and loose with OpSec.
Signal should not be used to discuss sensitive information. The Pentagon warned against using Signal even for unclassified information. Below is a screenshot from an NPR article.
Congratulations to Susan Crawford for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court race!
Elon Musk tried to buy the election. And the people knew. That’s one reason Crawford won decisively. Elon Musk’s greatest asset—money—has now becomes his greatest liability in elections.
Today House Democrats shut down House Republicans for the rest of the week!
House Democrats will continue to fight with everything we have to stop House Republicans’ bad ideas from passing the House floor.
