Trump’s New Economist Makes the Case for 20% Tariffs
Stephen Miran, nominated to advise Trump, has suggested high tariffs could be the price allies pay for U.S.’s defense umbrella.
www.wsj.com
Trump is purposely destroying the economy w tariffs based on a fringe economic theory. Acc to the theory, the US will suffer from the trade war unless threats to int’l security 👀 convince countries not to retaliate. And weakening the dollar is a key part of the plan!!

Trump was obviously so freaked out by what was released in December that he ordered them to stop releasing stuff. They started releasing. Stuff got deleted. Then it stopped.
We know what happened. Next up - a terrible fire, a flood, rats ate it all and OMG it's all gone.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Q: We saw the bruising on your hand. Are you ok?
TRUMP: I'm very good. I clipped it on the table, so I put a little -- what do they call it -- cream on it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don't take aspirin if you don't want to have a little bruising. I take the big aspirin.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.
Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.

One of the many reforms we need is a way for the party's voters to have some kind of vote of no confidence in the leaders that have been chosen.
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”
