"What was the “emergency” warranting a 50% tax on Brazilian goods, you ask? Well, the Brazilian government indicted Trump’s corrupt buddy and former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro."

Trump called it “America First.” It was really “Trump’s friends first.” Senate Democrats just voted to end his disastrous 50% tariff on Brazil that punished American families. Let’s unpack how we got here. 🧵

GOP senators found one line they won’t cross for Dear Leader

The Senate passed a resolution Tuesday to effectively revoke President Donald Trump’s asinine 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, which is increasing the cost of goods like coffee, sugar, and beef.

But House Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to allow a vote to end these tariffs. He even changed House rules to stop members from bringing resolutions that challenge Trump’s economic chaos. Total surrender of Congress’ power to one man.

Democrats are standing up for American consumers, constitutional checks and balances, and basic economic sanity. Trump’s tariffs were never about “America First”—they were always about Trump First.

Just over 1 week to vote YES on Prop 50.
If they're trying to scare off voters, that means they are scared of Prop 50 passing

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 9d

Donald Trump's puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month's election.

Sending the feds into California polling places is a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.

We will not back down. Californians decide our future — no one else.

We heard there were 2 No Kings events in Hemet + 1 in San Jacinto. We thought we arrived late, but apparently just in time to help hold a Fck Trump sign after some other attendees left. There was a Fck Putin sign too.
Everyone was in good spirits, music was playing, horns honking

No, we don't want "free" healthcare.

We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.

This isn’t difficult to comprehend.
