In elementary school, my teacher told me that the special thing about American democracy is that anyone can be President. "Even you!" she said, as she pointed to each of us.
She failed to tell us that one of the greatest horrors of American democracy is, likewise, that any buffoon can be President.

My law firm, Parsons Behle & Latimer, has a 143-year record of supporting the downtrodden; finding talented lawyers regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation; and being awesome.
This should not put us at risk of being attacked by the government. I can't believe this is controversial.

Reciprocal tariffs? What is Trump even talking about?
We had reciprocal tariffs - zero tariffs! We had the USMCA, which was signed by President Trump, which created a free trade zone with mutual reciprocal zero tariffs.

Trump's enablers don't actually believe any of the things they are saying. They are just too spineless to stand up to Trump and his pal Putin. Marco Rubio knows perfectly well that he is endangering the world by doing this, but he lacks a spine and is too interested in keeping his job.

This takeaway is so on-the-nose:
"If democracy can elect a black man to the Presidency, we must get rid of democracy."
Yep, that about sums it up for this country.

Follows a 🧵 explaining how stupid Donald Trump is for imposing a tariff on steel and aluminum. The tariff protects American steel makers - raw materials. This industry employs approximately 84,000 people, or approximately half the number of people that work for Arby's.
