1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase
5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt

Godfrey Wade came to the US from Jamaica when he was 15 years old.

He served in the Army for 8 years and won multiple awards including a wartime veteran award and a US Army Commendation Medal

ICE grabbed him for failing to use a turn signal, and he’s been held for 70 days.

Human lives have value, and it’s urgent that we do everything that we can to preserve them

even if they don’t contribute to capitalism.

I would say: I can’t believe we’ve forgotten this basic concept, but I wonder if we, as a society, broadly understood– that is to say power – ever understood it.
This is so disgusting.

It's more than OK to stop saying "let that sink in" when posting about some outrageous thing the Trump regime is doing. We know. It's fully sunk in. I do think we're finally seeing less of the tired "imagine if Obama or Biden had... ," which is good because we're onto that, too.

Trump wants to everyone in this country to change the name of the game played by the NF(?)L and by all the high schools and colleges and universities. Why? Because he won the soccer peace prize.

If Trump and Musk had a falling out, and if Musk is no longer involved in politics, why is the Trump admin using levers of US foreign policy to get Musk’s company out of well deserved fines?

This is the moment, Europe. Stand up for yourself, your laws, your freedom against foreign interference.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes.

Trump just pardoned them.

Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.”

Ridiculous.😐
